In classic Mayor Bloomberg style, New York City takes the highroad and avoids the anti-immigrant hysteria of lesser precincts. The NYPD's Police Academy graduated its most diverse class ever yesterday. Of the 1,359 new police officers, some 300 are immigrants from 65 different countries. About 46 percent of the graduating class is white, 28 percent Hispanic, 17 percent black and eight percent Asian. About 18 percent are women. The class includes the city's first Hasidic police officer.
Imagine: Immigrants as police officers in charge of protecting some of the country's most vital assets. What will that New America mayor, Michael Bloomberg, think of next?
