These cases should clearly go to trial, as there are constitutional issues involved, and perhaps up on appeal. What will that cost the taxpayers? And because some cop had to show that she was on a mission to shut down free speech. <br /><br />Good thing California is having record budget surpluses so they can afford this sort of bullying. Oh, what? They are in debt? They can't afford this? <br /><br />Then dismiss the cases. If I practiced law in that area, I'd take the cases for free just to get this ignorant, halfwit cop on the witness stand and play with her for a few hours.Clay S.

And since this boils down to infringement of Free Speech, I will be surprised if Mike R does not remain supportive - it is so important, and such a shakey line drawn downtown between classes and sects -- like some folks get to be there if they're nearly invisible and very quiet, while others feel they have some rights to displace people whom they don't want to relate to.<br /><br />A shame -- with homeless DEAD flushed aside quite like they were (largely) treated in life; it always leads to this arbitrary use of police power. Like in the first Gret Depression. In memory of Santa Cruzans (and travelers) who died homeless, I will somehow Support efforts to expose and lighten up the fearful attitude our Downtown seems to currently cultivate.<br /><br />This seems like pitting one person's comfort zone against many citizens' attempts to bring some humanity and respect into critical issues. <br /><br />I hope the Blind Miss Justice peeks into this, too?Linda's Hearthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00404971799624206082noreply@blogger.com
