The Department of Justice has threatened various local police departments with lawsuits unless they adopt the federal government's ideas about how police work should be done
Possessing an incredible amount of perspicacity, Thomas Sowell is always a “Best Bet” to come up with logic by the tons when confronted with a sticky situation.
