I will not be going to the awards banquet. I also will not be condemning those who choose to attend. I will not hold it against you or think less of your pride. Jerry is hoping you will attend though. Lots of photo ops "with the troops" are recieved by the media as: "everything is great and all are happy in LMPD land, just look at the guys getting their picture taken with their beloved Jerry-kins." Whether you intend to or not - your actions make statements. follow your heart. KICKBACKS
