Discussed why as again as usual, the recallers are using very little fact in their attacks. Specifically, as we agree and about this incident involving force, we know that the choice, whether or not to file charges, was made not, made by suzie inaudible and this was an event that took place before mr. Rowdean was even in an office. As usual, theres very little basis for fact and these attacks and that is being used to malign mr. Rowdean and the job he is doing. Weve seen this superior judge weighed in on this and examined this evidence and recognized that if theres no bearing to the case whatsoever, until i view this as an attempt to get out of traditional oversight vital for our city to restore fate and the police. The police chief to reconsider his letter and allow outside oversight to this is to the surveillance stuff as well as this letter. In both cases, what weve seen is an unwillingness to accept outside methods of control and outside methods of feedback so, people are clearly s
