There is a tactic that people use when they don't want to talk about the issues at hand. They either talk about the process or they single out an individual and target them to marginalize them. It's nothing but a distraction from the issues. And Brandi Grayson and Leland Pan are the latest targets and I'm sick of it.

Well, I started reviewing 450 pages of old and new police policies and then they sent me a different version and its very hard to know where to begin - so I'll start here . . . In the policies I've found lots of things that need review, and a bunch of things that just seem to be missing. A thorough review will take much longer, but here's what I've found so far of concern on this particular policy of interest. Did you know police no longer have to give you a verbal warning before they shoot - as of 3/24/14 and there have been 3 fatal shootings in the past year with this (mew?) policy. All three persons shot were mentally ill, under extreme distress or under the influence of drugs or alcohol. So much for de-escalation

Most meetings (13 of 21) during the day or all piled on Thursday night.
