Williams Named New Police Chief
In response to “Philadelphia Chief to Head LAPD,” April 16:
Congratulations, Los Angeles, in the selection of Willie L. Williams as the new Los Angeles police chief! He was not denied the position because of his color nor was he handed the position because of his color. Williams was chosen because he had the highest score and was the best person for the job.
Is the rest of America listening?
