Hi Kitt and Larry,

These are great questions, about the legal defense fund and Stewart’s future with the force. We know Forrest is looking into her legal options now, so we’ll update you when we have more news!

Please update what becomes of this situation. I’d like to know what else, besides being “pulled from the line and can no longer interact with demonstrators”, becomes of ‘Officer’ Stewart. It’s clear to me from watching the video that Stewart is not only unprofessional but is possibly psychotic. Or in layman’s terms, the thug has issues.

I’m glad to hear that Alicia Forrest is okay and that she hasn’t lost her spirit and determination.

Thank you for the update, and thank you for the reassurances that Alicia came out of this relatively unharmed, and big thank yous all around to all the people who have come to the support of my friend.

Will you be setting up a legal defense fund for Ms. Forrest? If Stewart’s phonied-up charge is allowed to stand, she will at least need help with transportation, food, and lodging while defending herself. I am of course assuming that the National Lawyer’s Guild will be stepping up to this one.
