Yes, but I think that is a "political" statement so as pouring oil on troubled waters so as to maintain some semblance of a relationship between the BPD and the DA's office. It should not be taken to mean that DA-Keenan is actually going to trust those bumbling obsessive dolts at the BPD.

Actually, most of the progress on this case seems to indeed have come from women. Trip DeMuth and Lou Smit made initial contributions that are much valued. So have some of the others on the case. However humorous the comment is, Winston Churchill's statement should be recalled: They also serve who only stand and wait.
