Christie: Prosecutor post disappoints

Christie Wood ( Prosecutor says post poorly worded, not racist ): “I am very disappointed in Bryant’s post. It was irresponsible as a prosecutor. But I have great confidence Barry McHugh will address it privately. Barry has a proven track record of fairness, and intolerance for any racially motivated crimes. This is clearly not a crime, but extremely poor judgement from a prosecutor with a stellar career.

If BLM made the comments Dix stated, that is irresponsible as well. It appears to be one person speaking out as BLM not the entire movement. But those statements are divisive.
