AZ boycott ballyhoo fizzles out…

Los Angeles – When Arizona signed its new immigration law, SB 1070, on April 4, the immediate response by several cities and states was to enact economic boycotts against the state, with the aim of pressuring legislators to rethink the law.
Now, with just over a month to go until the law takes effect July 28, maintaining those embargoes appears to have been tough going for most – especially in the wider economic downturn – and several have watered down their actions.

“Kyser notes that a Los Angeles Police Department plan to send officers to Arizona for special terrorism training “was canceled due to the boycott,” but other actions have gone under the radar.”

Really?? If this training was necessary for their readiness, was it re-scheduled elsewhere? Is there another training facility providing it?
Was this a moronic response?

I think yes.
