Well, you are aware the area middle schools are out for the summer? :-) Also, did you hear that the ACLU (predicatably) is now involved? Gee, I wonder who's position they'll support (without facts, as usual).
sorry, i didn't see your response earlier today.
over the weekend kenny rahmeyer played parts of the tape of the 6 hour meeting between chief knee et al and the community activists. WHEW! i would not have wanted to have been at that meeting. raw emotions. 6 hours of extreme verbal abuse by the community against chief knee.
one woman accused the chief and austin police of being the kkk.
totally off the wall! another woman sounded either like a mental patient or a participant in antonin artaud's radical communist theater of paris.
see next post for klbj update.
also, on klbj the other morning they interviewed a guy who represents a california manufacturer of a police digital recording system. costs about the same as the tapes the austin police use.
a lot of people are wondering why the austin police spent so much money on an obsolete video taping system that requires tapes and manual operation. it's human nature in times of duress to forget to do things.
most home users are converting from tapes to digital media. and, klbj was wondering why the police didn't do the same.
