NYPD Commissioner Bill Bratton
New York City's top cop is reportedly
demanding a retraction after he was quoted by a news article saying the
NYPD has a hard time hiring black officers because "so many of them
have spent time in jail."
The Daily News reports that Commissioner Bill Bratton has called on the Guardian to retract the story -- which bears the headline "NYPD chief Bratton says hiring black officers is difficult: ‘So many have spent time in jail,’ -- because his comments were taken out of context from another story published by the British news outlet about the difficulties of being a black police officer.
