I don't expect most FReepers to know much about these people.
I, on the other hand, have led something of an adventurous life, traveled the world, and mingled with all kinds of folks, some less savory and upstanding than others. When I see myths and flat-out falsehoods being presented as truth, I am more than happy to apply my real-world expertise and education on the matter.
I bet this police “chief” and the baltimore one belong to the same club: Affirmative-action/Equal-opportunity/correct pigmentation/Correct-gender Club. What ever happened to meritocracy and sanity???
