Independence Day

Indenpendence Day. The celebration. The parades. The thrown candy and games. The great rock bands. That is coming on July 4th and the Observer will be publishing the usual list of fun activities.

Independence. The Daily Life. The Independence fought for by our forefathers happens today. The Independent Evansville Police Commission will be meeting tonight at 5PM at City Hall to make an independent determination of facts regarding a complaint.

Police commissions were formed to protect police employees from arbitrary political treatment. Thus their independence is the key element in their ethical discharge of their duties. Their independece from political manipulation is central.

Stay tuned as the Evansville Observer brings full audio and selected video reporting to the Commission proceedings. We have learned a lot from the past. We know what "Pro Bono" means. We know the dangers of premature settling of proceedings that hinder the full examination of the facts. So. Stay tuned. The Observer will be watching and listening as my readers. I will allow the video and audio to speak for themselves.
