Strib article today, "Minneapolis now focus of 
racial profiling efforts."

Senator Jane Ranum: "I think the questions of why it's not 
happening in Minneapolis are very important questions for 
citizens to be asking....There's something very, very 
different happening in Minneapolis than in St. Paul."

Police Federation head John Delmonico:  "I think this 
truly would have been the best place to start to get to 
the bottom of the issue ...I don't think the community 
knows why or how we do our job and some officers don't 
understand how the community feels about how or why we 
do things to them."

A wise statement, but very different from what the police 
federation was saying last winter during the traffic stop 
slowdown.
