A Voice of Reason?

Police family and Gold Star family member:

  • As the civilian body overseeing the Chicago Police Department prepares to consider major limits to when and why the city’s cops can stop drivers, one member of the group is speaking out against the effort — and she’s not mincing words.

    “I believe the entire argument for restrictions is built on a faulty premise,” said Sandra Wortham, one of seven members of the Community Commission for Public Safety and Accountability (CCPSA).

    The panel recently concluded a public comment period on traffic stop policy. But the group has already said that a majority of its members favor banning stops for a host of violations, including expired plates, broken lights, and loud sound systems. Wortham is squarely not in the majority.

CWB has what looks like the entirety of her dissent with the other members of the CCPSA and it is an eloquent, well reasoned, and completely logical approach to Police being allowed to use every tool in their arsenal.

Maybe she'll run for office at some point?

Correct me if I’m wrong but can’t Larry just say no to the whole thing? What power does this board really have?

If not for a missing license plate Timothy McVeigh might still be bombing buildings.

An honest voice for truth, reason and concern stands up in the weeds of of lies and social opportunist bred by social Democrats.

Sandra Wortham is not only a nice person, she's smart and she's a class act.
