Star reporter Charles Borla chronicled the recent Tucson protest of federal government policing here and elsewhere. Not a word about traffic disruption in the heart of our city and the cost involved were reported. Selective signs were quoted, those with profanities unmentioned. Borla raised the political temperature by highlighting fringe inflammatory quotes and inserting a link to a protest website in the electronic edition.
Progressive Democrat cities, Tucson and Minneapolis are both about the same size. This is a fork in the road; do we choose to escalate?
My hope is that Mayor Romero calls on our community to obey all federal, state and local law enforcement officials as they perform their lawful duties.
This political conservative can only dream.
