Why would you do this?

DSB's initial thoughts on Councilwoman Head's threat to cut funding to a summer camp are dead on.

It is hard for me to fathom how Stacy Head could come to the conclusion that it is "blatantly racist" to suggest that an incident occurring at an majority white summer camp would have been handled differently than it actually was at majority black summer camp. If anything was blatantly racist about the incident in discussion, it was the totally over the top response of the officers that were justly suspended from the force. The Treme has had to deal with a spate of poorly-justified police activity this year. I don't see Councilwoman Head's angle on this. Not only is she wrong but she is adding an unnecessary controversy to a situation that is somehow being responsibly investigated by the NOPD. She is taking attention away from her good work on NOAH. I don't get it. Bad move. Very insensitive and unnecessarily provocative.
