A few days back I wrote: I still don't understand why the police pulled back that night, and feel that the reporters who got beaten up didn't need to get beaten up. Low income communities deserve the same police protection everyone else does in this city, and I for one don't want the second class citizenship treatment of getting Deputy Chief Spike Moss (as Soucheray calls him) as a neighborhood patroller rather than the police.
======================== EY: A friend on the list asked me why I just went after Spike Moss here - why not also talk about the Police Chief and the Mayor. I agree. The last time I saw RT Rybak (at the TC Quorum event), I asked him this question, and expressed my concern about both the Mayor and the police chief giving Spike Moss all this credibility.
