Cindy, do you mean a link that's in the article, the last one in it? What i've read sounds like a refutation of official stories, about people having to go against what the police, etc were telling them to do. But haven't read the whole thing. Simply saying there are even mass media disputing official stories.

I mean the entire article from HNN. It is not a bad article, but they don't mention that it was police that were blocking the roads, and Pelletier claims that they knocked on doors...people have said that there were no warnings, nobody going door to door.
Thanks, Cindy. Correct. There is a link in the main article to an item about a conference which the emergency director was at, on Oahu, and it mentions Pelletier in passing.
maybe you didn't scroll through the entire article...
Maui Police Chief John Pelletier addressed the issue the most recent press conference while the mayor spoke about it, in a social media post Wednesday.
Pelletier defended the department saying they did not close or stop people from getting out of Lahaina, they were helping them evacuate.
тАЬIf there is a downed power line, that was live, we want to make sure you didnтАЩt go over a downed power line. Police officers that night, that day, that afternoon, they were driving up and down with their PAтАЩs pleading with people to get out. They were knocking on doors. They were doing everything they can. They knocked down a fence on Lahainaluna to get people out because they needed to get out.тАЭ
Bissen called the situation тАЬfluidтАЭ and тАЬdynamic.тАЭ He said downed powerlines and parked cars made it difficult to get people out on time.
тАЬThe police did go door to door according to the chief to notify people, as well as on their speakers. To let people know what was happening. But, I think the important part to know is they did try to send people to the safest exit at that moment, and that changed in some of these situations.тАЭ

Some Lahaina evacuees say police road blocks put them on a path toward danger

I didn't check out the video with Pelletier, correct.
that's the continuation of the same article, not the video.
Hmm, must be a later update. Thanks.
