Department of Fairness

Anyone who reads my blog knows I've done a lot of criticizing the police, probably ad nauseam.

I try to be fair and present both sides. There was a news story today about an African-American family in Chicago who had a fire in their home and then found that they were burglarized while at the hospital being treated for smoke inhalation. A big-screen TV and Christmas presents had been stolen--and the single mom had worked hard to buy those presents and had recently lost her job.

A policeman (Caucasian) who was involved in investigating the case gave the family a $200 gift card to Sears, out of his own pocket, and other gifts as well.

I don't need to comment further.
