Proud of Spokane City Council

Sat., March 10, 2012

Congratulations to the Spokane City Council!

It’s about time our elected officials stand for decency and what is right! The people of Spokane ought to be outraged by the attorney who even dares to blame the city for this patrol officer’s actions. When will we as a society demand that people be held accountable for their actions rather than blaming others?

I, for one, am way proud of the City Council for saying enough is enough. We will not cave in!
