I am also a member of CUAPB and have found the experience to be very
educational. I am not satisfied by the denial of city officials about the
urgency of the problem. I hope that all candidates (besides myself) take a
hard-line zero tolerance policy on any abuse of police power. Tim is
absolutly right on when he says that the (stated) low crime rate is not
worth the lives of 5 innocent people who've been murdered by law enforcment
this year.
