can you imagine Hendrickson on the City Council?  This is the
rub. I don't live there and I don't know all the ins and outs of
Island politics, but I can say this: if I had to choose between
having a police force that routinely violates the rights of the
people they are sworn to protect - doing so with such
nonchalance and violence - or having a city council member that
was... what? Conservative? A Tea Partier? A right-wing blowhard?
A religious nutcase? I have no idea if she is any of these
things, but wouldn't hesitate to vote for her. Because I don't
want to get shot in the back, and I don't think she would do
that to me. I simply can't say the same for the BIPD because I
wouldn't trust them to open a case that was already open.
