      I imagine there are at least some Adams voters out there who thought a “law and order” candidate would be totally different this time because he was black

        Probably should have voted based on the content of his character. Never mind they’ll have another chance to do that in four years time. Although having said that he might be up against someone whose character is even worse.

      Not one lick. I knew as soon as Adams started playing that whole ‘tough on crime’ angle, that he’d Tom out for the Fraternal Orders. This is what happens when you tapdance for the settlers. More ‘criminals’, more recidivism, no rehabilitation. Adams has the blood of his own people on his hands; and I for one hope it tortures him at night when he lays his head down and tries to sleep.

      me. like obviously I knew this was a problem but I expected to be maybe 50% of stops being white, so would still be vastly over-representing minorities but 95% is mind boggling.
