As I moved from the labyrinth of Internal Affairs, to the Police Commission, the department entered into its legal agreement with State Attorney General Bill Lockyer, to reform or else. Any encouragement I felt at that development was dampened by the conduct of over 200 officers at an award ceremony, towards a former police sergeant named Gregory Preece...

Lt. Robert Meier, and eight other individuals who had responded to a shooting, and hostage situation in City Hall, in 1998, received the Medal of Valor at a ceremony. However, they were quickly upstaged by award recipient Gregory Preece, the former sergeant who had presided over the shooting of Tyisha Miller. The same man, who had used racist language after the shooting had also apparently been involved in incident involving three officers, who had beaten a Latino man, and had thrown him in Lake Evans.

As usual! Exellent stuff,thanks mary,you are my eyes and ears in la.Its a shame no one like yous in cinci.

If you get frustrated with the tin collectors,how about setting up a sting or 2?

Look at tehelka,peru,sophie in england and even the long beach black bashing P.I.Gs caught on tape.

You sound to smart to spend to much time trying to talk sense to these throwbacks.

Any that dont get out of facist uniform will be napalmed with matts molotovs(just add a little styrofoam)and/or they will be identified for soft drilling.

Ive eased up on M.Davies till Johnnies finished with him.

As soon as he's bankrupted riverside Ill be in back on dead davies's back.Soft drill never sleeps.
