Last fall, a resident of one of the West Bank high rises, for folks living on fixed or low incomes, told me that he was mugged in front of his building in the middle of the afternoon. When he called the police one officer spent all of two or three minutes with him, despite the fact that he was knocked to the ground and lost consciousness for a couple of minutes.
I guess that explains why we no longer see "To Protect And To Serve" emblazoned across Minneapolis police cars. It goes against the department's and City Hall's unwritten policy of crime containment-----------Peter Schmitz CARAG TEMPORARY REMINDER: 1. Don't feed the troll! Ignore obvious flame-bait. 2.
