Tuesday, January 16th, 2007

Reading the report of the investigators checking the DPS misconduct complaint, I was startled to find this reference to a post in my blog on page 19:  ”[Footnote: 23] An Internet posting purportedly written by a student states that, in attempting to enter the building, the officers “just shoved the students away, just like that, [...]
