Just this week, both New York Mayor Adams and Chicago Mayor Lightfoot endorsed a policy that would not require cops to have a college degree before being hired. (Chicago already has that policy).

It's troubling that these are two black mayors whose police departments have long histories of abusing black people. Kinda puts meat on the bones of that Ancient Ghetto Proverb that "all skin folk ain't kinfolk."

Great essay. You just get better with time.
