Reader says , “these law and order issues will probably be more frequent and most people will just get used to them which will be sad”

” I do not blame the police officers but management is not up to task. This is what happens when you pick leaders based on identity as opposed to merits. As long as we do not pick the best people regardless of gender, color etc. things won’t improve. And with the wave of changes hitting the town these law and order issues will probably be more frequent and most people will just get used to them which will be sad. “
