The guy whose 'pretend they didn't do anything wrong' policy of dealing with delinquents eventually allowed the murders to happen.

The issues always reverts to the guns and weapons in the hands of people that aren’t mentally or morally right. The same people that do not understand this will focus on color and the opportunity to segregate.

This is about affirmative action and white ppl scared to offend blacks. Give me a break. He was incompetent. And did not do what he was supposed to do. This is about a person, no matter their ethnic background not performing their duties properly. Parents should have a say!!!

Give the people what they want.

This whole thing is sad. People are going to say he's innocent and there are other players not being suspended.
