I don't know much about Jenny Jones' death though I did hear two people on a bus mention they knew her.
I thought Gary Hoover had all sorts of questions and wasn't sure about any info he had. He clearly asked if anyone had answers to his questions. I don't have any answers. Nevertheless I am reluctant to extend apologia to the police out of hand. I will say that after years of cutting the traffic enforcement to the bone the police now intend to increase their numbers. Good. As far as I am concerned reckless and careless driving is the most prevalent quality of life crime. There are way more people running red lights at Lake and Lyndale on any given day than there are people urinating in public downtown. I mention this because I almost bought the farm today at Lake and Lyndale when a speeding SUV careeened through an intersection narowly missing another car and swerving in my diirection. Last week it was a speeding VW cruising the shoulder lane at the Uptown Transit Station as i stepped off the curb to cross the street. Summer before last there was a bill introduced into the Legislature by a suburban legislator(I think he is from Edina but I cannot remember his name)to install cameras at intersections to catch red light runners. I was opposed at the time for fear that we would end up with a Total Intelligence Awareness society. I have changed my opinion. It would be great if we could install cameras that have a radar gun attached as further deterrence. My life is more valuable to me than any person's 'right' to be free of surveillance as they commit crimes. And think of the revenue stream.
