Off The Record

A Chicago Alderman says city police investigators are too smart and unable to relate to "lay people" according to a recent article in the Sun Times. Alderman Freddrenna Lyle (6^th) says the educated policemen lose their ability to talk to 18 year old high school dropouts who are usually involved in shootings and other crimes. Are we to assume the alderman wants dumber people hired instead? The Alderman's comments don't speak well of her constituents.
