-Caveat Lector- Some comments extracted from a personal e-mail from a family member in Seattle commenting on the WTO foofaraw, edited slightly: ... [A source] high up in King County government ... had some comments on how Seattle government handled the mess. [The source] said that the county and other local and state agencies offered to help Seattle manage the situation. They were initially turned down, and then when things were at their worst (Wednesday), they got calls for help, but of course could not respond in time. > That Norm Stamper resigned as police chief is a good thing. Although he > personally holds values that seem liberal and compatible with Seattle's > reputation, he did a poor job of managing his department, with the result > that the policeman's union and the rank and file really do a lot of acting > on their own. From a community perspective, police have felt out of > control for some time, very uneven from precinct to precinct. I'm glad to > see him go, but worry about who will take his place, and the tone that > will be set. ... DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion and informational exchange list. Proselyzting propagandic screeds are not allowed. Substance—not soapboxing! These are sordid matters and 'conspiracy theory', with its many half-truths, misdirections and outright frauds is used politically by different groups with major and minor effects spread throughout the spectrum of time and thought. That being said, CTRL gives no endorsement to the validity of posts, and always suggests to readers; be wary of what you read. CTRL gives no credeence to Holocaust denial and nazi's need not apply.
