Dear Mr.Brauer and Mnforum members, I would vote on no confidence on Olson for the following reasons: An ill informed investigation of the Hard Times Cafe during wehich the press was invited to attend and during which " the large drug bust" netted a bottle of gin and some "plant material" used to fill tea bags. Instead of calling off the troops Olson pushed right ahead with an "investigation".
on the basis of a similar brutal raid on the Sister Camelot collective I would consign Olson to another force! Another incident is how the Mayday protest was handled. i reported a stolen car the other night running , with a broken window. I could have walked by! and the cops wanted my drivers license. I think Olsen in general has not created an atmosphere in the Minneapolis force where the police can be gruff when they need to be and kindly and human where it would do some good. Olson has not addressed the problem of how to be the best police force for the money! It is the responsability of a new mayor to review the chief and replace him if necessary and to apply good methods of policing. --- David Brauer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Having known Trout in college and following her work > at the Women's > Press, I think her two cents are worth at least that > - my question is, > why exactly the no confidence vote for Olson? > Personal experience, wider > analysis?
