With silence to the pattern of racism and the white supremacy displayed Friday at city hall

Let us examine Atlanta, Georgia, where Blacks are the predominant racial class, 52.37% would the clamor of racism and Black supremacy from Hispanics 4% and Whites 40.05% minorities be heard? *We don't hear much of that, do we? *

The City of Miami is 70% Hispanic; it is reasonable that such a predominant community be adequately represented within its police department ranks? *Absolutely!* Historically, since 1977 the Law Enforcement Assistance Administration (LEAA) promulgated in its enforcement procedures that at minimum 70% of the minority service population must be represented within the municipality's PD's.[1] *As it pertains to African Americans (AA), the class comprises 17.7% of Miami's service population. *Accordingly, 12.4% AA must comprise MPD. *For Whites, the class comprises 10.7% of Miami's service population, ergo 7.49% of MPD must be White. *This LEAA mandated minimum representation must be reflected at all ranks. *Therefore, for example, if a PD has 100 sergeants' positions, as it pertains to Hispanics, the class should have a minimum representation of 49 sergeants, AAs 12 sergeants, and Whites 7.49. *The same equation applies to higher ranks. *LEAA's mandate is a minimal aspirational goal; a Police Agency could exceed the minimum 70% goal in its effort for equity for all. Is the City of Miami anywhere near LEAA's aspiration goal?*
