I phoned the watch desk at the police station in that town to voice my displeasure with the events depicted in the article.

I was suprised to find that I was the only person who had phoned to do so. The desk sgt tried to explain the dept's position and I told him that that didn't matter and that I still wanted to go on record that I didn't approve of the conduct of the protestors or the police in this situation.

the desk sgt also told me that part of the reason that nothing was done was bacause of advice of the city atty and the fact that the person who owned the property had said nothing.

I tried to point that there was an intimidation factor when people are on your property going bezerk. Did it occour to the police that the property owner may be frightened to speak out. The desk sgt sounded sympathetic but his hands were tied. oh well.

By the way, he was pretty suprized that I was an active duty soldier calling from germany. He said he had a son on active duty in Korea and told me to take care and be careful.

I wish more people would call in and voice their displeasure with the handeling of this case.

Remember folks calling the Mayor and City Council will have a far greater affect then calling the police department.
