...tiny police station and confronted the aldermen's chief. There was a melee. Carthan and his accomplices were convicted of assault and given three-year jail sentences; all but Carthan's were suspended. (He began serving his term last summer.) The mayor was required to resign, and Granderson was appointed in his place. Tchula's elections in June 1981 were a last, unequivocal rejection of Carthan's fitful reign: his two supporters on the board of aldermen were defeated, and his white predecessor as mayor was returned to office...

No appointed commission can change the will of the electorate. It's undemocratic." The aide did admit, however, that the inquiry's findings could create overwhelming public pressures on Begin or other ministers to resign.
