He makes some very funny comments about a six-hundred-page report he has to read entitled “The Mayor’s Select Commission on Cultural Diversity, Alternative Lifestyles, and Other Ableness in the Minneapolis Police Department: A Preliminary Approach to Divergent Modalities” - otherwise known as the Perfection Report, or The Wellness Thing, or the Wholeness Report or the Otherness Report.
