[Mpls] I'm scared of your police force

[Renee Jenson]

I don't know how the Minneapolis and St. Paul Police Chiefs can sleep at night.  How can they send all of their men and women in uniform out each day so ill prepared to deal with the proplems they will confront.  How many more will have to die before they realize they need to get them some training on how to deal more effectively with the mentally ill in crisis?  I think both of these Police Chiefs are irresponsible and shouldn't be holding the jobs that they do.  They certainly don't have the welfare of their officers or the public as their top priority.  Evidently it is the bottom line that means the most to them.    I'm wondering, how many officers are expendable each year?  When will it become a higher priority to look at training for officers and how they deal with the mentally ill?  So far Melissa Schmidt died this year.  Is there a cutoff point where death of officers from the mentally ill finally get the Police Chief's and Mayor's attention and they do something constructive?    There doesn't seem to be a cutoff point for wackos.  They're expendable.  Sky's the limit.  No one will do anything constructive.  Lot of talk and bluster.  Sometimes the only one that cares is the wacko themself.  Good riddance?   Renee Jenson WI wacko [EMAIL PROTECTED]
