The only tally available is from list posts...we don't collect that info from members. As with the Barb-Johnson-versus-the-List in the DQ debate, neither "side" knows public opinion so it's all a lot of shouting. I think it's quite fair to say that the vast majority of posts (which can be much different than the sentiments of members, were they to be known) are pretty upset with the cops. Do members of the public feel the same way? I suspect - no proof - that city residents would be less universal in their condemnation. But maybe not. To me, the fun of a discussion is not keeping score, it's the strength of facts in an argument, something a little more in our control. By the way, I noticed in the PiPress this morning that five Minneapolis police officers were injured in the U goings-on. Does anyone know how serious the injuries were, and the specific cause?
