I'm sure they want to cover their asses for the fact that they have very few black cops on their forces.

The only thing I'm sure of is that you have absolutely no idea what you're talking about and are oblivious to facts that contradict your preconceived notions.

Read the excerpt above from the CV of one of the white police chiefs in question (the police chief of the county where I live, BTW) and then try to convince me and others that you know more about community policing and minority recruitment than he does. You give blowhard idiots a bad name, Joad.

Dude.

The Ferguson Police force is 95% white.

Ferguson is 73% black.

There ain't no way in Hell you can spin that.

Seriously Finn?

You're trying to insult me with a A Bon Jovi ripoff?

I'm shot thru the heart.

Why would anyone need to?

You're a race baiting zealot.

Providing facts that contradict your preconceived notions isn't spinning anything.

These numbers do nothing to contradict the points the police chiefs made. In fact, they support their points, but you're too fucking dumb to recognize it.

Those facts are an indictment of those Police Chiefs hiring practices, which of course they are trying to defend themselves from.

By the way, I'm getting a real kick of you and your buddy Zeke trying to take me down with your pathetic little tag team attacks.

These police chiefs were deliberately chosen to be on this panel because they are the recognized experts in the field of community policing, you idiot. Did you bother reading the MoCo chief's CV that I provided that included the following the following recognition from civil rights groups?:

The Fairfax County Human Rights Commission Award for outstanding contributions, and the N.A.A.C.P.’s Community Service Leadership Award. In 2012, Chief Manger was inducted into the Montgomery County Human Rights Hall of Fame.

I'm far more willing to accept his POV regarding the difficulty in finding willing/qualified police recruits than any of your silly, uninformed shit.
