I'm not a FTP person, and I don't think the Berkeley PD is bad in the scheme of things. However, I do think they are messing up this whole protest-reconciliation thing. This letter may just underscore the fact that their underlying attitude is wrong even though it isn't hostile. It's still all about them.
