In which we discuss: the police department’s intimidation tactics at city council this week (as illustrated in my most recent piece), the Department of Justice’s meeting at the YWCA Wednesday, the Longest Night Vigil on Thursday. It all culminates in the question: are we prepared to be as disciplined and organized as the police department showed themselves to be? Or are we going to let the same old inter-left squabbling sabotage this rare opportunity?
