KINGSTON, N.Y. >> The
city Board of Police Commissioners should have been more transparent in the way it handled a
complaint by a
resident who was tased
by police after they mistook him for an assault suspect, a commissioner says.
Thompson, a Democrat, received a variety of
complaints and ideas from
residents, with one
resident upset about bird droppings under awnings and another suggesting the
city should collect taxes from commercial buildings owned
by non-profits, such as churches or schools.
