No talk of the police is allowed on the SR blogs. Apparently the SR blogs administrators are in bed with the Spokane Police Department, most likely to stay on their good side. Spokane police recently showed how much power they really have in Spokane, by holding up the hiring of a independent ombudsman for 18 months. They finally voted OK for the ombudsman but he will not be independent instead his crib will be in the Mayors office in case his diapers need changing.
