Were that it were a happier occasion to introduce him to you, but in the aftermath of the recent school shooting at Freeman High School in Spokane, Washington, Sheriff Knezovich held a press conference where he spoke candidly and thoughtfully. I don't agree with everything he said, but he seemed refreshingly honest and considered in his speaking, and spoke the truth on many things. Perhaps someday he might consider running for a higher office.
It's a twenty two minute video, but there seemed to be value in most all of it, so I did not opt for edited versions. Some of the answers to the press questions were particularly excellent.
Calls to the media to be more conscious of their responsibility and role in maintaining the conditions for republican self-government have not yet worked. Still, it's worth saying.
Thanks for posting that. Listening to the Sheriff speak was like a return to sanity.

ReplyDeleteI like seeing people rise to the occasion and speak like leaders in a time of crisis.
