Why should it matter? Would bringing in Hispanic, Asian, Indian and Native American police officers up the “diversity” of Ferguson or do they have to be black? And do a certain percentage have to be Nation of Islam, Atheists, Voodoo and Jehovah’s Witness? And what about gender and transgender/homosexual? Mixed race like Mr. Obama?
This appears to be a pretty major case, though, like a town that’s 65% black having a police department only 6% black. It just seems logical that, people-to-people, more black officers couldn’t hurt. Not for some sort of quota, but if only for community relations.
