Sandy Banks on Gloria Allred and Tiger Woods

"Her client says she loved Woods. She knew he was married, of course. But Woods told her she was his only girlfriend, Allred said." 'A woman ought to be able to believe a man when he tells her that.' "

Dear friends,

As a follow up piece about the whole Tiger Woods debacle, Sandy Banks of the Los Angeles Times brilliantly and humorously reveals why renowned attorney Gloria Allred made a point to "show her face in the place", on the link below. Enjoy!

Communities should control their police departments - not local governments. Far too often, the relationships between ordinary citizens and the police officers from whom the aforementioned citizens are looking for various types of assistance find thenselves caught up in conflict, due to the very real fact that the two parties have different interests.
On the link below is an article that makes this point quite clearly. It involves the local police response during the deadly hurricane that was called Katrina.
