  • Wednesday, May 25, 2016

It is interesting that Chief Fletcher would deem the handling of the Mayor's encounter as typical or normal. Is the Chief asking the public to believe that all misdemeanor domestic violence arrests include a 4-hour taped interrogation, and delayed reporting after a visit to the Chief’s house.

I find it amusing when politicians use the phrase "let me be clear", as Mayor Andy Berke did today.

According to Politico, uttering the phrase "let me be clear"  has meanings.....

a) Pencils up: This is the takeaway.

b) What I’ve said doesn’t mean what you might fear it means – or what my opponents will tell you it means.

c) I am not going to get rolled on this one.

d) All of the above, and then some.

“Let me be clear.”

I hear a hit dog barking.
