    HYATTSVILLE, Md., April 29 (UPI) -- The television show "Commander In Chief" has angered black leaders with its depiction of a Washington suburb as poor and crime-ridden. In "Ties That Bind," which aired Thursday night, President Mackenzie Allen, portrayed by Geena Davis, sends 40 U.S. marshals into Prince George's County to stop a crime wave. The president makes a stop in Hyattsville, Md., where, standing in front of a soul food restaurant, she talks to local residents about high crime and a shortage of police.
