As the wife of a member of the police bureau, I find it disheartening that people are so quick to label officers.  There are a large number of factors that are involved in police decision-making. It is offensive to me to hear the majority of callers stating that they believe the police are racist.  Do you know any personally?  Does JoAnn Bowman? I'd love to speak with her about my family and our beliefs and the challenges of police work.
