Damning for the DC police? I beg to differ. Civil workers are never are held accountable in the city of DC because to do so would be rascist, sexists, etc.. Just look at Marion Barry.

Back in the late 1980s/early 1990s, a mainstream magazine (maybe even Reader's Digest ; can't get more 'mainstream' than that) said that there had been such a push to get as many minorities onto the DC police force that it was accepting people who were borderline retarded into the academy. It also stated that the DC police force was one of the finest in the country, but after this big push, it was one of the worst.
