Vanessa Freeman writes, "I must say however, that a few bad eggs can make the whole nest seem rotten to the core. But, we have to remember that there are some good officers that care about what happens in their place of employment and in their city. It is my hope that they would continue to do the best job they can to weed out the bad eggs in within their force".
It is good to hear that we can see the good police officers also. I would dare say that the majority of officers are "good". Flawless? No. Good? Yes. I make my argument on this philosophy. If the majority of citizens of our fair city have seemed to have found our police force "good", then it is reasonable to believe the majority of Minneapolitans possess the good sense and intelligence to make this determination. Are there problems to be investigated? Sure. However, let's: 1) recognize police officers have immensely difficult and usually thankless jobs. They're always either doing too much or not enough, no matter what they do. 2) Don't get their licensing from a cereal box, it requires a college degree and psychological examining (at least in MN, and obviously Mpls). Let's root out the problems and acknowledge the good. Gary Bowman Audubon Park __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail Plus - Powerful. Affordable.
