Will the City be publishing or posting the results of the Jeilani 
investigation, for better or worse in some accessible fashion? Or will 
citizens have to live with what the corporate news decides to print?

Has there been any serious discussion about getting some agency other than 
the Hennepin County sheriff's to do the "independent" investigation? How 
about the Ramsey or Anoka County sheriff's at least?

Caught my eye: I was watching COPS or some such show on Saturday night on 
channel 41 or 45 (I was just channel surfing during a commercial) and I 
saw some police on that show disarm an obviously upset man, carrying not a 
machete, but a shotgun. They tackled him from behind. Perhaps a little 
cross-training is in order?

Since the taser is obviously ineffective, how about tranquilizer darts? 
They seem to work on all those PBS wildlife shows. Will the makers of the 
apparently broken taser be contributing some money to Jeilani's family 
because the defect in their product may have lead police to concluce 
thatdeadly force was necessary? Does the City at least cover funeral 
expenses when the police kill someone?

Eleven minutes is not enough time for a small group of people to decide to 
deprive a man of his life, a wife of her husband, and children of their 
father. When can we expect not only the results of an investigation, but a 
real plan for preventing future similar tragedies?
