From the article: "In an interview with Human Rights Watch, Chief Olson stated that the arbitration system was perhaps the greatest barrier he faces in his efforts to hold police officers accountable for misconduct." Of course we continue to have the courts to settle claims, but relying on them makes the city seem uncaring and probably results in a lot of tax money being spent on higher damages and lawyers' fees. -- Michael Libby, ( Cleveland, Northside ) ______Michael_C_Libby__{_x_(at)_ichimunki_(dot)_com_}______ | "even monkeys fall from trees" : "saru mo ki kara ochiru" | |_____public key at http://www.ichimunki.com/public.key_____| -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE8alB64ClW9KMwqnMRAhfBAKCwvmntTZGgWe/4ddjVt+gEkQEoJACgmBZo g2n6/P07yVH6EtOW5m+3SwM= =jibL -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________ Minneapolis Issues Forum - A Civil City Civic Discussion - Mn E-Democracy Post messages to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subscribe, Unsubscribe, Digest option, and more: http://e-democracy.org/mpls
