Clark Ray, Democrat for Council-at-large today called on the Mayor and the City Council to immediately investigate the report in the DC Examiner about anti-gay pamphlets being distributed in the MPD’s Major Crash Unit.
Clark Ray said, “This is not the first time this has occurred and if the police are expected to protect all residents of the District equally and fairly we must root out homophobia in the Department.”
He went on to state, “As a former reserve officer in the MPD I know that there are many members of the force who are not homophobic and who are there to do their jobs and they view all people as equal. As long as there are any homophobic members of the police force we cannot stand by without taking action. I believe this kind of behavior should be dealt with immediately and strongly to send a message to both the members of the police force and the community. This kind of action fosters hate and spurs hate crimes and we cannot tolerate that in the District of Columbia.”
Brandon Macsata on Moderate Solutions with Clark Ray. Moderate Solutions is a national political blog talk radio program dedicated to the debate and discussion about public policy issues from an independent, “centrist” perspective. Moderate Solutions believes that the American electorate can only be best served with viable moderates within both the Democrat and Republican parties. Political moderates – or “centrists” – are paramount to restoring fiscal integrity to the nation’s budget mess, meaningful health care reform, balanced environmentalism and a credible foreign policy. Moderate Solutions recognizes that extremes in both parties, both the radical left and far right, has increasingly tried to dilute an important political constituency – moderates. Political moderates have historically offered reasonable and sensible public policy solutions. Moderate Solutions is not a Democratic blog, nor is it a Republican blog – rather it offers its political and strategic solutions to the ongoing political debate within the body politic, taking to task the extremes of both political parties.
