As Mayor she is the top administrator over the police department. What hope do we as citizens have if the Mayor has to have the talk with her son. Making that statement lets us know the blue line gang is in charge. God help us.

I wish I could enjoy this, but my constitutional and property rights have been denied repeatedly. I’ve been singled out on the block while many of my neighbors continue to violate codes. Been falsely accused of being of being transgender as well as denied proper medical attention amongst many other things.
