Is it wrong to question what you've heard? Is this not the way
to find out if it is true or not......or do you wait until it's
too late and your community is lost.......I know when I asked my
questions about the judge and the attorney who are allegedly
using......no one came forward and said this can absolutely not
be true........in the case of the MPD officers they did come
forward and say that.....but, it does show you that until the
first is taken care of, everyone in official capacity is
suspect....and we most definitely should question when there are
questions.......how can it hurt......and it gave the Chief a
chance to address his comments to us.
May you all have a wonderful Easter weekend.!!!!

rumors
I have a real problem with vision2020 being used to float wild rumors.
"Because I heard it" seems to me the weakest possible excuse for passing
on rumor as though it were fact.
Moscow will be a better place if we make up or pass on ugly lies about the
Police Dept.? That just doesn't compute. This is the second time the
Moscow Police Dept. has been accused of serious malfeasance on Vision2020
and each time a number of us have been quick to assume that the police
must be guilty.
I'm ashamed of us. We CAN do better.
