Yes, I wish that sergeant were being prosecuted as well. The lawsuit you linked told it all right there.

It's interesting to follow this along closely. Listening to the police chief’s statement and answering questions, I realized how hard it is for the public to find out what the police get up to. He was, like most public officials, extremely adept at avoiding putting into words any of the offending police officers’ actions, or their names, or any of the events that occurred. They don’t want those words and phrases repeated anywhere on city videos. Not having any of it in words helps everybody forget what happened.

I also tried looking at some of the linked reports on that dedicated page. The annual reports seem to be just things identifying policies in a very broad way, and as few statistics on anything as possible. The only way the public really finds out what police are up to is from body cam footage going public.

It'll be enlightening to see what punishments they get. I also wonder about previous cases of excessive force, with the male.

Please post pictures of quilts you've made, I love handmade sewing stuff. And congratulations on your bear bravery.

Several robins "administer" my lawn and eat things from it, but I haven't seen the eggs or nest. They might be the ones who nest in the pine tree, because when I take the trash out at night I wake up some birds who get snippy.

In the midst of these adventures in pain, worry, concern, and joy, it’s still amusing to imagine you sitting on a floor rebelliously eating where they told you not to.

And of course I'm extremely curious about this DA or assistant DA is who decided no charges needed to be filed last year.

I'm glad this is going the full route there. There should be official citizens' groups that regularly learn all about police training and watch police interactions. In all cities.

I'm grateful for the update. The charges sound fair. I suppose, though, that both of them will be represented by police-paid attorneys since the crimes were committed while they were police.

Do hummingbirds handle the snow well?

Ditto, I'd like to see that George Jetson stand.

You're the expert on cowboy music around here, keep posting examples. This was a nice one.

I'm glad you yelled at the doctor. When they try to blame the patient for not telling them what's written in the chart, unbelievable.

Hope you had a good birthday out.

I would've stared at this for 10 minutes and still not been sure what it was. It's like something from a foreign store.
