Not much good comes from trying to look good. You must actually be good, too. Unfortunately, someone needs to remind the Chicago Police Department of this truism.

Only 25 percent of their rank-and-file officers and 8 percent of their lieutenants are African-American, but the 2000 census shows that blacks make up about 37 percent of Chicago's population. It would seem that someone doesn't think those numbers look fair.
