Olson's reticence 

A lawsuit reveals that Minneapolis police 
have routinely supported businesses that 
have denied service to minorities by 
threatening or carrying out an arrest 
(Star Tribune, Jan. 22) and Police Chief 
Robert Olson, who should be ultimately 
accountable, does not see fit to comment 
on a practice most Minnesotans would 
associate with 1960s Georgia. 

And we're supposed to believe that the 
reason this man does not want to mediate 
with elected representatives from communities
 of color regarding police practices is 
out of concern for the NAACP and Urban League?
