Magda,
What I've read is that the former Police Chief resigned because the mayor didn't give him the resources he requested.The recall petition was started earlier for this reason.Now we have the OWS people coming at her from the totally opposite end of the spectrum.I'd say she is burnt toast!
Beating and intimidation the average citizen for 'the Man' pays fairly well. Being the average citizen in USA one's wages keep going down and down and down and down.....and down!
