charles/102; but i don’t see why the race vs crime stats would lead the police chief’s national association to endorse ANY supremer-nom befo da hearings even got hoid.

“What if there’s a bombshell”, the police assoc must have wondered, “…shouldn’t we (being police, responsible for law enforcement under either political party and thus like the military pointedly apolitical) just shaddap and wait for the hearings?”

Somebody had to’ve answered that question. Somebody has to’ve said “No. Do it now. Before the hearings start.”

All downside, for the police chiefs, it would seem. So what’s the upside –what’s the deal, and what does it mean?
