List,

Clearly law enforcement is only one part of the equation. Clearly we all
agree personal and social engagement and economic development are
equally important. We can also all agree that a sense of safety and
stability are the bedrocks on which these other goals can be achieved.

Don wanted me to note that he was extremely appreciative of the gesture
of the Minneapolis Police in dropping a bullet-proof vest off on
Thursday night. Don did put it on and showcase his
lean-mean-crime-fighting-machine. This was mostly for the benefit of his
wife Sondra.  <smile> In the end, it was put on a chair; and Don, Sondra
and their two kids cuddled-up in the tent at the community garden on
26th and Knox and spent a peaceful night.  

Please stop by this weekend at the garden and say hi to Don, Sondra, and
other community leaders. The 24 hour vigil continues through Sunday.
Share your ideas of how the community can best utilize the "window"
created by the additional law enforcement resources from the State,
County, Parks, County Attorney Office, Weed and Seed, and the CRT.

Or just enjoy the garden and drink some lemonade.
