The Cavalier Daily, UVA's student newspaper, hasn't had a single FOIA request fulfilled since *July 1*. This is flatly illegal. Senator Deeds shared UVA's FOIA response with the newspaper, which allowed them to do this reporting.

That seems to be have been the Dem strategy for the last decade, throw more money at "training" efforts. All it seems to have yielded are increased police budgets. Very skeptical of "training" as an answer. Fewer cops with less militarized weaponry would be my suggestion.
