If you want to see the portion of last night's Alameda City Council meeting dedicated to the controversial incident in which Alameda fire and police personnel watched from shore as 52-year-old Raymond Zack committed suicide by drowning, the archive is now up.

Watch here by clicking on the "7-A Crown Beach" link in the pane underneath the video window on the left.

The city is conducting a review, and not a whole lot of official information was discussed. The Acting City Manager announced that documents related to the incident will be put on the city's web site soon, and Mayor Marie Gilmore spoke.

The public comment period, however, was fairly vitriolic, as you might imagine.
