After all the crime, the headlines, the hand-wringing, the shifting of funds, the viewing of black books, the bizarre incidents, the community meetings, this is how Greensboro City Council officially indentified police department problems as its top priority during yesteday’s work session:

The state of the city’s police department easily emerged as the main issue during the session, which was aimed at setting goals and priorities for the city

When facilitators asked council members to put stickers on a poster beside the issues that they think are the most important, the police department somehow received more stickers than there are council members.

Somehow, I don’t feel any better.
