I noticed that both N&R editor John Robinson editorial writer Doug Clark bestowed praise upon the Greensboro Police Department under the leadership of new chief Ken Miller, with Clark pronouncing “a new day in law enforcement” here in the Gate City.

I also got that feeling as I watched Miller’s press conference announcing arrests in the murder of 7-year-old Malique Steens and his father.

But looking back over the controversy surrounding GPD over the last five-plus years, I can’t help but think that if the N&R had its way, Mitchell Johnson would still be city manager and, more than likely, Tim Bellamy would still be police chief.

We can only wonder now.
