>As a citizen on a review board I would like to say something. This is not
an easy process. Confidentiality, trust, time commitment. They all gotta be
there. And more. That said, any involvement "citizens" have in the community
to honestly share with one another can only be for the good. It is all of
our responsibility to make sure we are behaving in that way and it is
reasonable to expect that from our fellow citizens( law enforcement types
are citizens too). It takes an exceptional person to be treated with
rudeness and cruelty and respond with kindness. That is what we expect from
our police. Let us expect that from ourselves. Dan Schmidt
