Your references to "the real purpose" of police review as revealed by the "CPRB website" and "the original ordinance" are most obscure. Do you support citizen police review?
Independent of your hostility to Becky and me, it sounds like you have done some independent research which could clarify your position. What is it? You need to be specific.
Your denunciations of us are off base as well. Becky doesn't "hate all government". We don't seek "complete and total control". But, regardless, just denouncing us doesn't help folks understand your particular points---other than that you "trust your government officials."
Unless, of course, your point is simply to generally denounce and discredit through the intensity of your anger.
Your unwillingness to say who you are predates your apprehension about this (rather unlikely)threat to you. Becky and I have gotten such threats at different times in the last few years and continue to speak publicly on the issues. Frankly, if you let yourself be deterred by them, you do yourself and the public a disservice. Anonymous assholes make threats on occasion. If you feel what you have to say is important, just turn and calmly say it again.
I believe everyone has a right to speak--you included (and to chalk the sidewalk--this is apparently where we differ). I believe it is the government that will be asserting "total control", e.g. on Friday February 14th at 10 AM in Dept. 1 when it seeks to convict Becky for two instances of chalking peace and justice statements on the sidewalk and street.
You look foolish, however, when you simply make denunciations without substance and insist on remaining anonymous.
