Unfit to be a Police Commissioner of America’s second largest city. https://t.co/C0xMqhSFl1

Soboroff later explained his comment in an interview with The Daily Caller.
“I thought it funny that in a country as diverse and exciting as America that almost all men in crowds were not,” he said. “They were all white. It’s been shown thousands of times and in polls.”
