elliot spagat: For others, it didn't go far enough, according to Toronto Star. For many, it was just right. By Elliot Spagat Associated Press Tues., Oct. 18, 2016 SAN DIEGO—For some, the apology went too far. The president of one of the largest police organizations in the United States on Monday apologized for historical mistreatment of minorities, calling it a dark side of our shared history that must be acknowledged and overcome. He was not more specific. Terrence Cunningham, president of the International Association of Chiefs of Police, said at the group annual conference that police have historically been a face of oppression, enforcing laws that ensured legalized discrimination and denial of basic rights.
