Patrick Thibodeau
<< Hello Rob H. I don’t think Velvet is making fun of the cops. Oh it may look that way alright but go back to the beginning of her thread on this subject.
You may not like the criticism that some bloggers share about the DC PD but I’ve read enough of it on other blogs over the past year to say that the problem we’re facing is the PD isn’t reading the blogs.
But since we’re going down memory lane here, on the blog you once had you shared a letter you received about the police: http://dcgovcustomerservice.blogspot.com/2005/08/i-just-dont-how-many-times-i-can-say.html
So instead a badgering someone about attending a dog and pony show of a meeting, why don’t you restart your blog, share more of the letters and insights you get as an ANC Commissioner. Take a leadership role as a public official.
I’ll put you in the live feed so everybody can read it.
cheers

I enjoyed your encouragement when I began this blog. I just didn’t like blogging as much as I liked my other public publishing venues. CCing the DupontForum when getting aggressive with the US Attorney was something he could understand. No one in my DC activism circles knows what an RSS feed is.
I wasn’t badgering her. I was hoping she’d try to do some good rather than act like Stephen Colbert’s character. It’s not a dog and pony show. We’re developing valuable lines of communication. And I spend almost all my time on my community leadership. Just ‘cuz I don’t do it in this blog, don’t hold it against me. I’m out there and sending 50 emails a day.

What exactly does that mean? What is changing because of these meetings? Do tell.
Oh, we've put burglars in jail by getting my list pictures of suspects. We've broken up drug and prostitution rings. Last meeting was mostly about drug deals and use in the alley south of the 1500 block. We've initiated many an investigation into bad 911 response. You may have read that the Chief asked an Inspector to make up a lesson plan for the Police Academy using the the movie Crash for it's themes on bias/prejudice. I started talking about the themes in that movie and the Chief responded by saying that he'd like to used that in the Academy. That INspector (who got in trouble in Geogetown) was in the room, too.
