Read the comments, the chief was there for 37 years and the cops who quit all erased their hard drives. She ran on a “clean up the city “ platform. This is a case of rats fleeing a sinking ship, not racism. But the media knows that most people will see the headline and look no further.
They may well indeed be rats, and maybe they’re not. I agree with you about the media hype. Last I heard, Lincoln had freed the slaves, these people aren’t required to stay in their job. I’d be happy with the clean deck were I the new mayor.
