Mil UH Page 12 • Wednesday, February 3, 1999 News Houston PD under fire over shootings HOUSTON (AP) — The Hous ton Police Department, which came under fire last year over the controversial killing of a man dur ing a botched drug raid, has insti tuted additional training and formed a review committee to study questionable shootings. “We want them to do what they have to do to survive,” Chief Clarence Bradford said of the more than 5,000 officers under his com mand. But, he added, officers must understand that “for each round they discharge, there is account ability required.” Bradford has created a Critical In cident Review Group, composed of officers and chaired by Assistant Chief Mike Thaler, to study ques tionable shootings and recommend training changes that could improve how officers handle such situations. The department also has begun training some patrol officers in the use of Tasers, hand-held devices that deliver an electrical shock. Of ficers were criticized for not using such a device on a mentally ill woman who was shot to death last month after charging police with a knife.

(AP) — A federal jury ruled Tuesday that a Website and “wanted” posters listing abortion doctors’ names and addresses amounted to death threats, ordering the site’s authors to pay damages of more than $100 million. Striking a blow to militant on line tactics in the fight against abortion, the verdict could rede fine what is considered constitu tionally protected political speech. The anti-abortion materials con tained no explicit threats of vio lence, only veiled messages, such as crossing through the names of abortion providers who were killed. “The jury saw the posters for what they are — a hit list for ter rorists,” said Gloria Feldt, the president of Planned Parenthood, the main plaintiff in the case. “Whether these threats are post ed on trees or on the Internet, their intent and impact is the same.” Defendants had said that they would not pay any damages, no matter what the verdict. One of the defendants, Catherine Ramey, sobbed as the verdict came in, after 4 1/2 days of deliberations. “This is a moral and constitu tional outrage,” Ramey said after ward. She criticized the key ruling by the judge, that defined threat as something that could be taken as a threat by a “reasonable per son,” rather than as something that made lawless action “immi nent.” “There was no threat and they knew it,” Ramey said. She had testified that she would not so much as offer a tissue to an abor tion provider if he Oij shot. ^ At issue was the “T berg Files’’ Website, h. hundreds of “babybuti invites readers to sen. personal details as the; dresses, license plate and even the name dren.
