A Des Moines police shooting that killed a teenage car thief triggers criticism that the officer acted unjustly. The piece argues law enforcement must sometimes shoot to stop a fleeing suspect to protect the community and often risks life to maintain safety.
Editor notes urge patience in judging haste to adopt city manager government after a heated campaign. The piece argues money and media framed the debate, defeated the change, and warns that power structures silenced dialogue while spending surged. It predicts more cities may move to manager governance, but only with financial clout.
A satirical note criticizes Congress for opposing DC home rule while lampooning political figures and local officials. The piece mocks John Birchers, police light pole colors, and a Citizen-Times staff now in federal posts. It also ridicules a flood control stance by Congressman H R Gross and denies federal job retraining hires.
