    You did, I noticed that afterwards, sorry. But your answer contradicts the case you've been making about how it's somehow better to have representation. Oh well, no sense splitting hairs, I think by your answer that we both actually agree that diversity is a second tier concern.

    I never claimed otherwise. The police...the town...seems everyone wanted more diversity, that's kinda the problem we've been going back and forth on. IMO, it should never be something you seek, just something you might end up with after taking the best candidates for any position.

    As always I will give the police officer the benefit of the doubt until he has a trial. His job puts him in situations that can lead to tragedy, now we just need to ascertain if he followed protocol or not.

    There's nothing wrong with seeking it so long as the candidates are qualified. It's not racist to hire some minorities. Minorities as a percentage of the population are underrepresented in police forces. It's a positive to see some forces actively seeking to broaden their ranks.

    We'll disagree on a couple things there obviously, but we've already delved into those. Anyway thanks for the back and forth.

    What a load of rubbish. It was midnight in a back alley way. Funny how now it's suddenly stated that the officer should have just got out of his car and calmly have a conversation with someone who suddenly appeared out of the pitch black. Pure racism.

    Same type of people defend the officers shooting dead a black man armed with a mobile phone or shooting dead a 12 year old black boy playing with a toy gun or shooting dead an unarmed black man with trousers down

    More crap. What difference does it make that she was well liked and loving and kind! She crept up to a police car at midnight during a time when many officers were being murdered responding to hoax calls. Did you defend the officers shooting dead a black man armed with a mobile phone or shooting dead a 12 year old black boy playing with a toy gun or shooting dead an unarmed black man with trousers down.

    ill regard for true qualifications!

    Oh, so had she been black and the cop white, it would make an enormous difference to you. I get that.

    Pff. Plenty of white cops kill unarmed black men. You know the drill how this is justified. And you're just calling this cop incompetent based on this skin color. How 1930's of you.

    I responded to "The city’s leaders bemoaned the fact that they could not come up with more blacks"
    And that kind of filth comes from a nazi site. So... yeah. I doubt that one.

    It does not come from a Nazi site if that is your meaning so I agree.

    I quoted that racism from a website. The website is WND. According to wiki
    The website is known for promoting falsehoods and conspiracy theories
    as been described as "fringe" and far right.

    So I call it a nazi site
