We used our editorial page today to talk about the simmering tensions in the city of Chester.
In a span of about a month, police have been involved in two fatal shootings.
Caught in the middle of all this is new Mayor Thaddeus Kirkland. It's a bit ironic because Kirkland campaigned against former Mayor John Linder in large part on what he perceived as a police and administration that was out of touch with the community.
Kirkland is trying desperately to keep a lid on a very volatile situation.
We think it's the right course of action.
Here's our editorial.
