Let's watch it tomorrow and friday on television. I believe it's being broadcast on Las Vegas 1, cox cable channel 19.

Seems like the the one-sided show of the HPD will continue for tomorrow. Let's just hope that the witnesses, the public, and the media have voiced their concerns and questions of this unfortunate incident and the inquest process enough so that some real questions are asked and answered, and the real facts are revealed and presented to the jury?

I can't wait to see what the jury thinks of all the changing statements and reports the HPD has had on this incident. Though they will probably not even present the jury with all the conflicting evidence. They will most likely only present the evidence that makes them look squeeky clean as they always do. Let's hope the D.A.'s office starts doing the right thing.

Let's hope a change is on the horizon, STARTING TOMORROW! Because a change is seriously needed in this city which is in a downward spiral, and not looking to change for the better anytime soon.
