Props to SDPD

Occupy San Diego
At an interview given by San Diego Police Department Assistant Chief Boyd Long this morning, among many comments he stated: "This protest has been peaceful and orderly. We will not see what is happening in other cities, happen in San Diego. I support their freedom of speech and assembly."

I suspect there is some tug of war in background (some in the city council would love the cops to kick ass). But that's another story.

1. Thank heavens someone came to their senses

What happened in Oakland was unacceptable.

Culture.

anybody who lived in SD in the 80's and 90's can probably remember the shoot-first mentality that infested the dept. good on asst chief boyd.

5. And that is the reason for the Regional Academy

where they spend over two weeks going over amendments now.

The bad boy locally, literally, is El Cajon PD these days, followed, to a point by Oceanside.

Today I was there, yes heavy presence but none in riot gear.
