Thank You

I want to say thank you for what you’ve done
and all the times that we had fun
and all the times u stayed up late
and the lovely times u made me shake
and when you came to visit me
to save me from my misery
and also for a love so good
that I foolishly never understood
I miss the love that we once shared
but its my fault your no longer here
and now that its all said and done
I have to let your spirit run
and thanks for that talk today
it really helped me pave the way

And although the election June 8 will determine who could ultimately take over the reins of this 101-year-old city, that won’t stop the domino effect that was unleashed by Dorn’s resignation.

Contrarian, innovator, iconic figure

“… Blacks might be more likely to die from choke holds because their arteries do not open as fast as they do on ‘normal people.’” 
—Former Chief Daryl Gates in a 1982 quote to the “L.A. Times” about high fatality rates suffered during police restraints, which prompted the Urban League to call for his suspension.
