Just look at Phill's face, it look like he would like to take the head off a commenter at a monthly neighborhood meeting with Mayor Thomas McDermott Jr

They are not use to this type of confrontation... the type of confrontation where you can't send code enforcement out to harass someone, or a city attorney abusing their authority.
Tom was quoted in an article in the Hammond Times:
Quote:
he's not crazy about the end result of the traffic stop "but it never should have gotten to that."
Sorta sounds like Thomas McDermott Jr want's to get a head of this one, it is already too late. That lobbyist job is well down the river and the partner in that law firm.... it is gone as well. Tom's stuck.

In attendance at the Night Out were Yolanda Gray and Kendall Warner, two defendants in other, separate federal civil rights lawsuits against Vicari, other officers and the city.
Gray said in her case, herself and her family listened to police and got out of the car but "that's when the brutality began."
"In the African-American community you're damned if you do, damned if you don't," she said. "You say a prayer. You don't know what police officer you're going to come in contact with."
Councilman Anthony Higgs, D-3rd, said racism is a problem in Hammond — on a scale of 1 to 10 "it's between 9 and 10."
