Yes. The beauty of Blogtown, of course, is that when somebody tells you something like that, you can preserve it in the Googlesphere, just in case they fail to live up to the promise later on.
Handleman needs a new schtick. Could it be that arbitrators keep ruling for the police union because the City wrongly fired these employees? That once all the facts were heard in a neutral environment, it turned out the cops did nothing wrong? One of these arbitrators once headed the National Labor Relations Board, another was on the board of the ACLU, and the third has been an arbitrator for more than 30 years and has a national reputation. These aren't the sort of people who would be biased towards the police. In the Kendra James case, a federal court jury sided with the police even before the arbitrator did.
Dispassionate and neutral examination of what happened may not be Handleman's forte, but it's what juries and arbitrators do.
@Polis - Note that he doesn't even mention what any of those people were doing while shot. He just implies that the cops are out randomly shooting people in the back.
Sure ;p
