.... A friend of Davis’, Rafael Collazo, former president of the New York chapter of the National Latino Officers Association, said he was shocked by the killing and demanded to know how an armed man could enter City Hall, which is less than a mile from the site of the World Trade Center, which was destroyed in the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. “Not my James, not my Davis,” Callazo told MSNBC television. “He was a fighter. ... He fought police brutality, for social justice.”
Davis’ brother, Geoffrey Davis, said as he emerged from the hospital about 4:45 p.m.: “The system killed my brother. They knew that he would fight.” [Huh? Is he alleging 'the system' hired Askew to snuff Davis?]
“We’re going to keep fighting and do the right thing,” Davis said, according to The Associated Press. full story
I doubt there are any straight members of that august body today... WE moved to SF jut a couple of months prior to the City Hall shootings and knew nothing of the background. We did benefit in a small way, however, by getting Mayor Mosconi's table in the bar at North BEach Restaurant, where we frequently went for lunch. I guess none of the regulars wanted it. As crazed as SF is, I wish I'd never left. Other places are just as crazy without all that scenery and charm to balance it.
Didn't Dan White commit suicide after he left jail? Or was that a rumor?
