When "I've been saying this from the beginning" becomes an annoyingly common theme.

Some lights, never go out.

1) Feeling the pressure. 2) Involved in a R2R/UOF incident on 6th Street with intoxicated subject/s fighting, that gets media attention. 3) Investigated. 4) Council member/s make initial statements. 5) Cleared. 6) Resigns. 7) Another agency accepts them with open arms.

If nobody will say it, and it must be me, but gets me in trouble. So be it.

Who knew understanding one's own criminal justice system in Travis Co would be such a task. It literately turns you into an independent journalist, because that's what you have to become to grasp it, oh, and you might have to take a few records requests to court.

Wealthy individuals, who live in gated, safe communities, dictating to those who live in community of lessor means, what justice should look like? Perhaps they're smarter & more educated. But a poor man can be smart and educated too, if they apply themselves, or is that heresy?

A lot of intricate nuance, complexities, conundrums, & considerations for criminal justice. Some w/ less than stellar aims try to prevent relevant info from entering the public sphere, to prevent nuance, because "they know best." It's frustrating. Not to mention profitable.

DA's worse enemy to his messaging: Specifics. Annoyingly precise specifics, that he refuses to talk about. And reminded of, looking like he's clueless to operations in his office, as he squirms to think of a rebuttal. Not talking confidential info here, just detailed specifics.

Well it's getting late, let's lay dow... POW! POW! POW! POW! POW! (heard outside) Well crap. Guess I need to call that one in. (That just happened.)

Charged by Emily Balezon is not a bad book. It's an amazing book, but some of the ideas might have turned out to be too far in one direction, on a spectrum of treatment vs accountability. Or rather, in some DA offices, the appearance of treatment, in lieu of accountability.

Nothing as nerve-racking as getting some food and then figuring out you may be in a "prohibited place" in another state. Texas license holders don't know how good we have it.

"How in the world did you get this?!" A few years of unyielding persistence. Don't take no for an answer.

Suggestion of a new PIR is laughable, why? So they can cherry pick again if "confused?" Who has the burden to clarity if a PIR is unclear? They sued FIRST. Why start a legal fight with the AG (to withhold info) if compliance was their intent? Whose action was truly unnecessary?
