How is this a race issue? Why is this a race issue? We all have been paying the price for this and suffering from this corruption. Having our black leaders play the race card, again, is only doing the entire City a diservice. Rather than getting to the bottom of this in a collaberative effort, our leaders are enjoying the spotlight, pointing fingers and taking the divisive route. It is politics at its worst. It does not help us. It only hurts us.

I agree with the above writer. This entourage from the NAACP comes out to tell us that there is a problem with the police dept?! No Kidding Sherlock Holmes. That was like picking the COlts to win the Super Bowl on the Monday after the game. IDIOTS! These guys promote themselves any time they can. What does the NAACP say about the violent black on black crime in the city? What do they say about all the shootings in the city? How about the sotre owner who was shot in the face by a black guy a few days ago? What do they do for the community to make the streets safer for their community? . . . Answer: Nothing. They sit back, wait for a few cops to do the wrong thing, then they claim this is the reason everything is bad in the city. Have a backbone and address the real problem. Kids growing up in the inner city with no parental supervision. Go after these parents who decide to get high, not work, and feed off the governments money while their kids run the streets unchecked and armed with .45 cal's.
