Isn't that just like a Democrat, be completely in control of the local and state government yet still blame someone else for all of the failings that go on in their city and state.
Here we have large cities completely dominated by Democrats on the local level and pass off all the blame on the police officers. Often (all cities?) the police chief answers directly to the mayor, the local city council pass budgets and training requirements for the police, yet apparently all of the elected officials have clean hands, it's just those gosh darn unaccountable police officers doing it all! Oh wait, except they ARE accountable, to the mayor and local city council, so why aren't they doing more to root out the bad cops?
This is exactly why nothing ever changes. We know exactly where the problem is, with the elected officials who are almost always Democrats, but Democrat voters don't want to hold Democrat politicians accountable so they find a way to blame the police or Republicans.
