I can't really say that I feel too sorry for either one of these officers. (Storlie or Ngo), although I'm glad that Mr. Ngo is recovering and will survive.
Both of these men have questionable histories within the department. (I know that Storlie was exonerated, but the city still awarded a sizable sum to Lawrence Miles, so ovbiously enough people felt that there had been wrong doing on the part of the MPD.) Ngo, was disciplined for making racist remarks outside of a Somoli Church, and is arguably in the situation he becuase he's "Strong, and aggressive." (Start Tribune), still I feel for any victim of police misconduct, even when the victim is a cop. What few people seem to be acknowledging is that this police department is unable to go even a month without shooting someone who is not involved in a crime. The only difference is that this time the victim suvied. This is something that will continue as long as people like Robert Olson, Sharon Lubinsky and John Delmonico are deciding MPD policy. Even once they're gone, Rich Stanek is dictating state policies. For the time being any one of us could be murdered by an over aggressive MPD cop. I'm definately scared.
