[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well Jawando just got shredded by his fellow councilmembers for treating them like *^%# on the Unmask Ice bill. He called for it to be scheduled next week, leapfrogging a committee meeting on it, and drew the ire of almost all the councilmembers. A couple were crying they were so mad. Said he never once reached out to any of them to discuss the bill. [/quote]

The committee chair was dragging his feet on scheduling the work session. Three of his colleagues voted with him to advance the bill. Some people have principles, and some people are cowards who want to avoid difficult votes. [/quote]

No he wasn't. He wisely wanted to see what the Maryland General Assembly was doing on their REAL bill that has teeth. You know, actual enforcement mechanisms and penalties.  And that bill would apply to all law enforcement. Not just MCPD, which is the only police department the county can regulate. The county can't regulate Rockville police or Takoma park police or Gaithersburg police. They certainly cannot regulate federal police.

This bill will just result in a bunch of people calling 911 and the operators telling them there's nothing anyone can do about it [/quote]
