Instead, all requests for meetings are routed to a DOA spokesperson, which never returns calls from anyone but rightwing sources and the occasional mainstream newssource.

In fact, they left her cuffed for at least ten minutes as she went in and out of consciousness, while her friends who were familiar with her condition were pleading with them to uncuff her so she could lie flat, or at least help her into a more comfortable position, since she'd collapsed with her legs bent under her. They only took the cuffs off a couple of minutes before the EMTs arrived.<br /><br />--sueAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7183447461205976739.post-75710375926108207792012-09-17T12:29:26.312-05:002012-09-17T12:29:26.312-05:00Okay, so now talking and carrying a song book are ...Okay, so now talking and carrying a song book are also illegal, in Chief Erwin's mind.<br /><br />Erwin has some explaining to do, I would say.<br /><br />Thanks for your work as always, John.<br /><br />Appalling incident.
