A lead story in the Spokesman Review June 1 projected a different view of where police body camera footage can be seen. The report included a photo of the kind of camera Spokane Police wear when they go on duty. The story involved body camera footage that possibly could have involved police policy violations on the part of officers involved in a February arrest and chase. The core of the SR account reported members of the Spokane City Council had requested a look at the footage. The police department agreed to give the council members a look...
Let's play "Jeopardy," where the answers are questions.

I have been serving as a firefighter for just short of 50 years. It is my passion. Like the Farmer's Insurance commercial, I know a thing or two because I've seen a thing or two. But I do not know everything and neither does State Industrial. Fire fighting is inherently dangerous and when an emergency happens call 911 and a fireman will respond to...
