Regarding Michael Atherton's questions about a Minneapolis Intelligence Unit:
How many more innocent people does this brutal, incompetent group of bullies (the MPD) have to harass and kill before we stop giving them more power? Rich Stanek is aready going to be running the Department of Public Safety (unless enough people storm the committee hearings and confront the Legislature with Stanek's head cracking record) while remaining Second Precinct commander, and he already has a documented record of compaints against him. An intelligence unit with Chief Olson running it will make every citizen in Minneapolis who looks different than the average white conservative couch potato a target for harassment. I can't give an inch here. It may be a few bad apples (though I believe it is the majority of Minneapolis beat cops who get off on the adrenaline), but even so, we have a very poison barrel and it should be cleansed. Then, in the next elections, we can go after ALL pro-police federation and pro Olson politicians. (I know the two don't get along, but BOTH are extremely bad for civil liberties.)
