When they say avoid spreading unconfirmed info they mean only spread the police's confirmed biased version of events! One example is there has been no transparency, has to how a man with his arms raised up above his head justifies means for deadly force.

Would you be so kind as to publish with a real name? It is an interesting talk to text comment, unfortunately I place very little value in a statement made by someone who is not brave enough to stand by their own words.

this will be a highly significant vote by the commissioners - it will be the first test of the new four vote majority that rehired the old/new city manager - and i'd make a sporting wager that they stick together.

any mineral extraction industry is expansive - until the well runs dry - and anyone who paints a picture of profits into a limitless future is either a fool, or a con artist. look at the remains of old oil/gold/silver/uranium/copper/lead booms....what is left is a mess for somebody else to clean-up
