A Nearly Impossible Burden

The Washington Post has a column by black author Colbert I. King who opines Washington, D.C. has the same problems as Baltimore. He is, of course, correct.

Power Line's Paul Mirengoff reacts to the King column, musing about the underlying dynamic of the troubles in places like Baltimore. Mirengoff concludes police relations will inevitably be tense:

After all, the police force bears the nearly impossible burden of maintaining some semblance of order in neighborhoods plagued by social pathology, family destruction and generations of dependency.

Well said.
