WOW !! Police Accountability

Locke, Rice to study police accountability

BETTY UDESEN / THE SEATTLE TIMES

Seattle Police Chief Gil Kerlikowske waits to speak at Friday afternoon's press conference at City Hall.
Seattle Mayor Greg Nickels confirmed this afternoon that he has called together an 11-member panel to examine police accountability, a group that will include former Gov. Gary Locke and former U.S. Attorney Mike McKay.

"The time is right for a thorough and comprehensive review," Nickels said at a City Hall news conference. "It's time to take another look into how the police department polices itself."

The commission includes many prominent members in the political and legal communities: former Seattle Mayor Norm Rice; Seattle attorney Jenny Durkan; former judge and Seattle police auditor Terrence Carroll; and Bob Boruchowitz, former longtime director of the largest and oldest of King County's public-defense agencies.

Also on the commission: Hubert Locke, former dean of the Daniel J. Evans School of Public Affairs at the University of Washington; Judith Krebs, general counsel for SEIU Healthcare 775; Lorena González, president of the Latino Bar Association of Washington; Jennifer Shaw, legislative director of ACLU of Washington; and Pramila Jayapal, executive director of the nonprofit Hate Free Zone.

The move follows the leak last week of a civilian-oversight report that accused Police Chief Gil Kerlikowske of interfering in an internal investigation. The report, which examined a case in which an officers' report did not match up with a surveillance video, said the chief pushed an internal investigation to support the officers' version of a January drug arrest.

Nickels said the group will also review Kerlikowske's role in police accountability.

Kerlikowske, who was at the news conference, said he supported the review.

"One of the things that's most important to me is certainly the trust of the police department," the chief said. "We're not going to be trusted if there is this continuing swirl over the accountability system."

Thursday, City Council President Nick Licata said he planned to put together an advisory group to review police accountability, and invited the mayor to help develop it. He has invited members of the community to join the group but has not yet announced its members.

The mayor did not respond to that invitation, and today said, "Licata has shown he has a particular agenda on this issue."

Hubert Locke, McKay and Durkan sat on a 1999 commission appointed by then-Mayor Paul Schell. That group made recommendations that led to the establishment of the civilian-run Office of Professional Accountability in the Police Department, which replaced the former internal-investigations unit.

The group will begin work in August, and conduct interviews from September to November. The mayor said the group will produce a report and make recommendations to him in November.


City Councilwoman Jean Godden, who attended the news conference, said she supported having both council and mayoral groups review police accountability.

"Until there is sufficient restoration in public confidence, I don't think there can ever be enough review," she said.

Councilman Richard McIver said he believes the council needs its own advisory group.

"It's incumbent on us to move forward to and ask for advice on what changes should the Office of Professional Accountability undertake," he said.

McIver says the office, which is reports to the chief, should be moved out of the police department.

"No Impeachment" -- Obama

“Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama laid out a list of political shortcomings he sees in the Bush administration but said he opposes impeachment for either President George W. Bush or Vice President Dick Cheney.” (USA Today)

Sorry Obama but according to the Democrats I know --- you have just placed yourself firmly in the camp of those who are NOT listening to the Democrats.

Nancy Pelosi has endangered the structure of the Democratic Party by not listening to her constituents OR the Democratic Party and now you have blown any chance you had at the nomination. Frankly, I wasn't leaning towards Obama but my boyfriend was and I was still listening. If I'll listen for Joe Biden, I'll listen for Obama. But, it's all over between us now.

Mainly because he has managed 'somehow' to 'captivate the media'. With this attention he chose to not support impeachment of the most villified and criminal element which has ever slithered in to OUR WhiteHouse. Thanks a million, Obama.

I'm extremely disappointed in him this day. I'm disappointed in Hillary EVERY day and I'm about behind John Edwards firmly now. I saw Obama and I saw Edwards.

Edwards is looking downright Presidential. He's HOT. Obama's hot but ... I sure did not find myself cheering for him as I did Edwards. Edwards is coming up for some bashing because they are already growing afraid of him. Good.

I believe he's the next face in the White House.

VOTE ABSENTEE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

For everything that comes up. Even dogcatcher.

warning: Graphic nature. Did the Firemen kill ALL of my animals???

It was a GREAT day yesterday followed up by a very sad discovery upon our return home.

"Someone" had hung my beautiful chow-mix puppy. Hung him. So we had to cut him down and bury him but before we did so I very clinically documented the rest of the evidence for the growing file of the RICO court case coming soon. His feet were off the ground so there's no way he did this to himself though I know that the fireworks helped and have that all on tape.

I know these pigs hope that I will call the "police" (HAHAHAHAHHA) and report these crimes against humandog-ity. Because our dogs ARE our family. But instead I'll just say what I want to, document, record and document the proof, and keep moving on. It's at least the tenth animal that has been poisoned, kidnapped and taken to the pound and then murdered by other county employees, or had their throats slashed or necks broken (puppies) on my property.

You DO get that 'on my property' part, right??? I've witnessed these same Tampa fireman relatives come on to my property to try to capture my animals. And so have others. Along with countless other matters that never expire.

The first dog I remember being poisoned (luckily we still have the lil bones for examination) was poisoned the week my Mother was dying in the hospital. Poor little critter barked too much. At the time, obviously, I had to pay attention to other matters so this poor little guy went to the vet and came home in a box and we totally grieved him and still are. Yes, PIGS, I know your dick gets hard thinking of that.
Cooler was the COOOLEST dog. We took him to Davis Island Beach and the dog surfed. I did not think that was highly unusual because he was such a cool little thing but people continually remarked on it and so I was like, "oh, I guess that IS unusual" and videotaped him a LOT. I'm glad I did that.

I'm used to all of our babies being really special. Every animal that has ever wandered down the street or out of a pound, or away from a kennel into our hearts has had a magical quality. Tres's was that he LOVED YOU like a rock. And he could catch food like a champ ... born like that. And he always had time to be patted. And for a big-boned active dog he was very patient and sweet. He had big perfectly triangular ears and a purple tongue and we cried. Again, I'm sure that makes your dick hard. Enjoy it while it lasts and don't worry, where you're headed that will come in handy. phhhhhtt

Now, what was MOST revealing about this extremely sad occurrence was that the Tampa Fire Dept. made more than it's usual rafter of appearances today. (HUNG YOUR DOG HUNG Y OUR DOG HUNG YOUR DOG) In fact, they have slowed down somewhat (not too much y'understand??) and gone in to stealth mode. (sneaking up behind me again and etc... what's funny is if I miss them on video I just approach people around and ask them what they just saw and get that on video.) FUCKERS. It's the whole man on the street thing, ya see? Works for Letterman and people LOVE doing it. They pose and chatter.

But, obviously one wonders if the next step on the murder ladder is up the food chain a bit. Here's their idea of stealth: A for instance ---- whenever I make a particular stop (and again, a kindergartner could hack my schedule) instead of zooming out where I can videotape them easily they fly in the other direction. Never mind. Thinking people get where I'm coming from and how stupid that is. LOL !!! (don't HELP them, that's not fair !!!) What is most daunting to them is that they have no apparent or even a shred of a grasp on the matter of statistics and random sampling.

But, they will soon.

And, those who will go without mention (as usual) hung them stupid selves this morning. That's not going to be recoverable you stupid morons. New neighbors again. LOL !!! I love that.

One hanging for the next.

When you do things like that you may make us sad for a bit or even for years but you are taking something from yourself and whatever little meth-head helps you (i'll go back on video when I get time) that you'll never get back.

I'll be fine but your humanity has never recovered from the blows. Look at yourself. You were such a lil cutie and now look at you. And look at your life and those people who you think are your friends. Right. Crack associates. We've all had/have drug associates. They're NOT friends.

Anyway, you're being fooled. You are stealing something more valuable from yourself and your child than you can EVER take from me.

I hope that it's worth it.

Also, to top it off and add the final brick to the wall --- the night before this same idiot and clown posse' let one of my pups out and kept him in the house all day and then poisoned the other dog enough to make her sick. THIS, of course, will be very interesting when it all comes out and the # of times it has happened.

Now, with a fire station AND relatives THAT close to my home I hardly think they are traveling from say ... town n country to hang my pets.

Do you??????????????

Clank.

Oh, I haven't seen that guy you had stalking my young relative for awhile. Send another. Fresh meat.

"Call it a medical condition"

11 Congress Members for Impeaching Cheney
By David Swanson
ELEVEN Congress Members have cosponsored articles of impeachment against Vice President Dick Cheney, including House Judiciary Committee Members Maxine Waters, Keith Ellison, and Hank Johnson, Deputy Whip Jan Schakowsky, Progressive Caucus Co-Chairs Lynn Woolsey and Barbara Lee, Yvette Clarke, Al Wynn, William Lacy Clay, Dennis Kucinich, and Jim McDermott.

McDermott joins call for Cheney's removal
By David Postman, Seattle Times
Excerpts from his blog, Postman on Politics

In a speech on the House floor Thursday, Rep. Jim McDermott said Vice President Dick Cheney should resign or face impeachment.

McDermott had not been among members of Congress calling for impeachment of Cheney or President Bush. He said he will now sign on as a co-sponsor to H.R. 333 [H Res 333], Rep. Dennis Kucinich's resolution — introduced in April — calling for Cheney's impeachment.

"For months I have believed that impeachment was a dire course of action," McDermott said. "Over these same months, I have seen the vice president repeatedly drive our nation into increasingly dire situations, in Iraq, in Iran, and within our own country as he tramples over the Constitution like it is a doormat."

At this point, I stopped to go and thank Rep. Jim McDermott. Maybe you'd like to do the same?? Please do.Very simple on his site; takes less than a minute.

McDermott said he is now convinced that impeachment is necessary because, he said, Cheney has repeatedly held himself above the law.

"Since the president permits this flagrant disregard for the Constitution, it is up to the Congress to act and defend the American people," he said.
McDermott had advice for Cheney, too, if the vice president wants to resign:

"Call it a medical condition. Call it a political condition. Call it what it is — the departure of a person who forgot that he works for the American people."

Aside: If you'd like to know more about McDermott he's all over youtube. Holding hearings for homeless youths, Peace rallies, Iraq Vets, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder --- you name it, he's holding hearings. Glad I found him. I read the Seattle Times all the time but .. well, I read A LOT.

Go enjoy a good man's actions. It will be a nice change from the scenery in Tampa, say what??
