We definitely need to break away from the 'we're
> here to protect the haves against the have nots' paradigm as Wizard Marks
wrote.
I am anxious to find and discuss -- at the broadest possible levels -- solutions
that will help heal relations, restore trust and increase responsiveness and
accountability with the Minneapolis police, as well as move us to more community
oriented police practices.
I understand that some cities use an elected Board of Police Commissioners to
over see their police departments, much as we use the Park and Recreation,
Library and School Boards here to over see their various departments or systems.
I would be very interested to read your reactions, experiences or other comments
about this idea and how it might work or not work here in Minneapolis.
In cooperation
