Why am I not surprised that the Detroit Police crime lab has been shut down because of errors?

I mean after all, in a town where the mayor is at the center of a crime wave what is so surprising that the folks at the local crime lab are incompetent?

In any case, Detroit Mayor Ken Cockrel Jr., Police Chief James Barren and Wayne County Prosecutor Kym Worthy announced Thursday the lab has been shut down after errors were found in evidence from shooting cases.

Reportedly the crime lab chief and the 33 incompetents that staffed it are being reassigned.

To which we would add, hopefully to positions that do not involve police work…
