"New"?

Crime rate troubles new chief

The Montgomery Advertiser headlines this story from AP about Birmingham's police chief. I was wondering when Annetta Nunn, who had served since 2003, was replaced, but she has not been. After three years, you are not new.

Anyway, she seems just as hapless to stop the city's murder wave as she seemed last year. Speaking as someone who, when they lived in Bessemer, once saw a map in the News that pointed to the epicenter of Bessemer's crime problem and it was his house, the situation in Birmingham is clearly unacceptable. Heads probably need to roll. Maybe there should be a new chief after all.

The appointment of a new chief would be a good opportunity for Kincaid to live up to his promises to make Birmingham's finest the best-paid officers in the region and to attack the city's homicide problem "from every responsible angle".

Certainly not the ONLY opportunity he's had, but perhaps a good one.
