Mayor Bradley’s Leadership
What a woeful lack of leadership in a crisis!
Mayor Bradley: His inflammatory remarks on the day the trial results were announced incited the population. His poor response time to declare a curfew and immediately ask for troop reinforcement cost our community dearly in lives and property.
Gov. Pete Wilson: Thanks for the National Guard arriving late, in inadequate numbers and unarmed!
President Bush: Did he need to wait for our mayor to request aid from the Army or Marine Corps?
Summary: Defective leadership at all levels. Time for change.
