police
inquiry
Lincoln Mayor Sam SchwartzkopPs call for a police
investigation into two complaints against police officers is "only to
get votes," according to Jo Doris' Bragg, one of two women
opposing the mayor in Tuesday's primary.
"Asking the police department to do an investigation of
themselves is like asking the fox to watch the henhouse," Bragg
said.
The investigation is in response to complaints filed by Harvey
. Little Thunder and William McKinney. Little Thunder claims his
son Steven, 24, was beaten by two officers on March 20 during his
arrest for intoxication.
McKinney's complaint is against alleged harassment by police in
connection with the beating and robbery of a man at a downtown
hotel. He claims he had been stopped repeatedly for questioning by
the police.
But Bragg charges that Schwartzkopf "isn't interested in
whether "Little Thunder was beaten by police or not."
Schwartzkopf says the investigation of complaints has nothing
to do with the April 8 primary.
He called for the investigation because "this one looked a little
more serious than most complaints," he said.
"Most complaints by citizens," he said, "have been dispensed
with by talking to the individuals. This one was not."
The fact .that it came just before the primary is "only
coincidental,"' Schwartzkopf said.
Interim Police Chief Dale Adams said allegations that police
investigations are meaningless have been made before, and added
that there are other avenues for complaints open to citizens. People
with complaints may file them through the mayor's office, for
example, thus bypassing the police department, he said.
Adams said the investigation is being conducted by department
supervisors and that results should be in this week.
Bragg, who said she serve i on a citizen investigation panel
several years ago, said the police department will continue to get
complaints "until they get a public board to do the investigations."
"They (the police) need to come under public scrutiny," Bragg
said.
"They are not a bad police force " she said, but added there is
need for a public communication committee to bring the police
closer to the community.
Helen Bosoalis, SchwartzkopPs other opponent, declined to
comment on the mayor's investigation request.

Announcementpremature
An announcement that a Kansas City, Mo., cable televisioti
network would carry rebroadcasts of Nebraska football games has
surprised the network's general uianager.
Terry Lemmons, general manager of Target Network, said the
announcement made by Broadcasting Magazine was premature.
"I don't know what the hell I'm getting from the Omaha station
that sends the tapes to us," Lemmons said. "All I know is that I
have agreed to televise Nebraska football games on a delayed
basis."
Jack Loudon, president of the Kansas City Alumni Association,
explained that he acted as a negotiator between KETV in Omaha
and Target Nttwoik to rebroadcast the Tom Osborne Show, which
is produced by K ETV.
Lemmons said Loudon asked him to rebroadcast video tapes of
Nebraska football games on a delayed basis. He understood that
the video tapes would contain flive football games, Lemmons said.
"We wanted the Kansas City alumni to be able to see Nebraska
football action," Loudon said. "At the same time, we wanted to
increase publicity for Nebraska football down here."
Loudon said the coach's show is already seen over nine cable
television stations in Kansas City. He said the intent of the offer to
Target Network was to consolidate the rebroadcast of the Tom
Osborne show into one network.
Target Network programming is used by 50 local cable systems
in Missouri, Nebraska, Kentucky, Iowa, Kansas and Oklahoma. The
rebroadcasts could be seen on local cable stations in Hastings,
Kearney, Grand Island and Lexington, Lemmons said.
No money is. involved in the agreement, except to cover
shipping charges incurred by Target Network.
Le mmons said he thought, the show could be broadcast on
Tuesday nights next fall, but no definite time has been established
to televise it yet.
