FWIW, Glendale PD *still* hasn't gotten back to anyone (that I know) of
their officer's blatant disregard for the First Amendment when two cops
(one uniform, one plain clothes) told a list member that he could not
quietly hold a sign that said "If Goulet has his was, we'll all have no
say", protesting the councilman's statement of wanting to increase
requirements for initiatives because they are inconvenient for the city.

Jay held this sign up as people were walking out of the swearing in
ceremony for the recently relected councilcritters.  The paper wrote about
it (briefly), and the Chief (now gone) and Lieutenant both assured they
would get back with comments from their Professional Standards group.

I've heard nothing.

This is how Glendale operates...they violate rights, which gets you to
move now/solves the immediate issue (in this case, embarassingan ass of a
councilman), then claim the next day "yeah, we probably shouldn't have
done that...."

That's how Glendale operates.
