Does anyone think it a coincidence that suddenly the never-used-in-a-crime .50 caliber is making headlines now that Bob Stewart has regained his rights?

"In the candidates' proposals, the DNA would be kept on file even if the person arrested is acquitted."

The Richmond-Times Dispatch doesn't think much of this idea:
"The problem today is not too much privacy, but too little."

The City of Fresno wants the truth from its workers, not the whitewash that some boss wants them to hear!!

"If the council takes the oath plunge, City Attorney Hilda Cantu Montoy said, it might be the only city in the United States to force its employees to swear to tell the truth when answering council questions."

KABA NOTE: This oath should be required in all departments, nationally, to protect the citizens from governmental fraud and abuse.

Of course, the departments that have an oath today don't respect it at all....
