I must say this is a different story of Chief Olson than I have heard previously. Have I missed other reports that mention similar thoughts? (Calling on Steve Brandt to tell what I missed in the StarTribune) I feel this is like the Sharon Sayles Belton campaign last year. I started out believing she was a do nothing mayor, but the later the mayoral campaign went, the more I heard about the good things she had done. I wondered why I had not heard of those things before. It is not like I am intentionally disregarding positive things about certain people. After all, I have my disagreements with my CM (Joe Biernat), but I still keep an eye out for things I think he has done well on (Truth in Housing comes to mind). So, it seems like Chief Olson is concerned about racial profiling and civil rights, but yet the thing I remember about him is his defense of police abuses. What gives? What have I missed?
