I think it would be pre-mature to do anything that will derail any efforts in that area. Ms. Kimball has every right to demonstrate, however the PD needs to stay out of it. Our antagonistic attitude (not without merit) has not fared well for us in the past. We've been kicked in the balls for the last few years, and while we need some relief, we need to stay focused on repairing our image.
