[Mpls] 21 Mpls police officers head to New Orleans

[Justin E.]

Our City is so safe apparently we can spare some 21 police officers (and 10 
squads) to arrive three weeks after the fact down in New Orleans to help the 
approximate 30,000 guard troops, Army, and other enforcement officials many 
of whom have fully automatic weapons/military vehicles.  Yeah, I'm feeling 
safer already. So lets see, If police is a function Rybak lit then that 
means 71-21=50 or is the 71 an imaginary number?  Math is hard.

If you like the status quo and feel well represented then there's no need to 
vote for change, but if you feel otherwise maybe it's time to go fill in a 
few new circles at your local polling place.
