More Suggestions for “Loose Cannons” HUFF 6-26-25
Http web addresses are for background reading or listening. Organize! If anyone has questions, please raise them. Out of exhaustion, frustration, or the call of Mother Nature, breaks may be called. The chair may be rotated if folks want. If the Agenda looks familiar and unduly repetitive, some of it is for the benefit of new folks or returning ones. Many items are really signposts & reminders of where we’d be going if and when we find the person power, time, interest, and resources. Gathering information and evidence can help challenge the Dominant (False) Police and City Manager Narrative. Documenting and complainant numbers are repeated for convenience. Athena chairs the meeting.
