Star Minneapolis cop to lead state Public Safety By: . . Minnesota Spokesman-Recorder Originally posted 3/5/2003
But should communities of color feel safer with this man at the helm? By Abdel Shakur Staff Writer Incoming Public Safety Commissioner Richard Stanek has quite the personnel record after 17 years with the Minneapolis Police Department. His two-inch-thick file is filled with over 40 letters of commendation, awards, and specialized training. Judging from his file, you would think that Captain Stanek has never done anything wrong. However, anyone familiar with police brutality in the Minneapolis police department will tell you different. Records detailing Stanek�s history of brutal and racist behavior may have been erased from Minneapolis City Hall, but fortunately the courts and the Black community have a long memory. http://www.spokesman-recorder.com/news/Article/Article.asp?NewsID=23572&sID=4 Shawn Lewis, Field Neighborhood -- _______________________________________________ Sign-up for your own FREE Personalized E-mail at Mail.com http://www.mail.com/?sr=signup Meet Singles http://corp.mail.com/lavalife TEMPORARY REMINDER: 1.
