Will the Palo Alto Police Chief make it through next week?...Watch Dog predicts no...

You read about it this morning on Watch Dog and elsewhere. The Palo Alto Police Chief said some interesting things last night at a community meeting...but as the day has gone on -- the interesting things she said got more and more attention.

Including this story in the Merc and the following video. It will be hard to get away from these comments she made on KGO-TV yesterday:
"When our officers are out there and they see an African-American, in a congenial way, we want them to find out who they are...the one suspect around the California Avenue train station is wearing a do-rag...If my officers see an African-American who has a doo rag on his head, absolutely the officers will be stopping and trying to find out who that person is.''

She did backtrack today and said:

"I did use the term do-rag and that was totally inappropriate and I apologize for that.''

See for yourself (please excuse the beginning ad):



Watch Dog prediction -- she'll be gone next week...
