The old Human Relations Commission was dead on in its effort to reign in an out of control police organization and they should be praised for that effort. The people who should have provided the leadership were the prior City Manager Jim Antonen (the DPD reports to the City Manager), the Mayor Ruth Asmundson and Larry Vanderhoef as UCD leader.
