3. I alternate between being so sad I cry

to so pissed off, I'm shaking inside to so inspired that I'll make phone calls and urge our city commissioners to urge the city manager to start a citizen review board.

Our small city now has a citizen review board (I don't actually live in the city, so I couldn't be asked), but it turns out that they merely give a report to the city police chief. The woman I gave info to so she'd start it is so pissed that they only did that to shut her up that we may be able to change that.

I have a daughter in law enforcement and a son in prison (political prisoner of the war on drugs...a man so self-medicating after his father's suicide...well, you get the picture) that I sometimes can joke about how well balanced I am! This morning, the tears just won't stop flowing thinking of the 7 yr old, her family.

When, how will this madness end?
