Police Chief

It was reported today that the Chief of Police in Minneapolis is going to assign additional officers to police minority areas of the city in anticipation of potential problems this summer. Since most of the people who live in this part of the city are honest, hard workers just trying to pay the light bill, the chief’s efforts will be appreciated. Placing more officers in a given area will result in more arrest. After a year or so someone will do a study and find that minorities are disproportionally arrested and a claim of discrimination will be made against the chief. This sort of thing has happened in other cities and the chief will find herself between a rock and a hard place. I wish her the best.
