Chief Paudert Put It Down

Yesterday the West Memphis police chief made some very controversial statements concerning protestors. They set off a wildfire in the news media. I felt the frustration in the chief's voice when he spoke. I knew it would upset the black community though. Him and his department have been under the microscope for the last five months. It's kind of like when the Mayor of Memphis asked Councilman Brett Taylor outside. He has kept his opinion to himself all this time, finally he blew his top. In hindsight he probably wishes he hadn't made the comments, but unfortunatly he did. Chief Paudert said something to the effect of running these race baiting, ex-cons and perverts out of town. Then going on to say they were seeking "Black Justice." I really don't know what else he could have said. He can't allow his city to be held hostage because of disapproval over a court decision. The lines have been drawn.
