Police and race Discrimination … it could be true.. maybe

First off.. Let me make this loud and clear… No matter how you cut it this is a complete and total mess by the company that runs this city. I tend to give the police chief the benefit of the doubt here, however if there is racial discrimination going on in the police department then we have the Mayor and the City Council to blame for it. After all, the buck stops with those in power to oversee these issues and that is the council and the Mayor. Racial discrimination should not be tolerated at all, and if it is occurring in the police department the city gets what it deserves. However, cash settlements and minor changes to procedures and oversight committees isn’t going to solve the problems. The city council and Mayor should never have let this problem get this point. Once the problem was uncovered they should have properly investigated and dealt with the people involved. Clear minded adults really trying to right a wrong shouldn’t be in need of taking the problem to this level. If there is any impact to the police chief for this matter then the council and the Mayor should be under the same microscope for allowing this to happen in the first place.
