Sean Bonner: Open Letter to the LAPD and LASD. He begins, OK, this isn't so much of an open letter as it is an open request. Please read the comments on this post.

I'm volunteering my time and any help I can offer to get you guys set up with blogs. I'll take time off, wave my consulting fee and come in and explain why they are important and show you how to do it. And I won't even beg for a CCW while I'm there.

A fortress mentality, I'd expect.
What you don't see is what you get
