[Mpls] Unintended consequences--help for Jordan

[WizardMarks]

Today's lead story in the Strib was 12 state troopers for Jordan. 
Granted 12 extra pair of hands are very helpful, but applying pressure 
in one precinct means a sudden influx of nogoodniks to other parts of 
the city. It's really not a very satisfying prospect either for the 
police or for the rest of us. On the Southside we're already seeing 
gangbangers known for working the Northside raid gardens and scout for 
opportunities to create havoc.
The whole process of dealing with gangs surely must include keeping a 
steady pressure on every place identified as a beachhead or nest for 
criminal activity. Having CCP/SAFE rendered toothless, cutting budgets 
for city and county attorneys offices, neutering the Gang Strike 
Force--a recipe for disaster.
This is just ducky.

TEMPORARY REMINDER:
1. Don't feed the troll! Ignore obvious flame-bait.
2. If you don't like what's being discussed here, don't complain - change the subject 
(Mpls-specific, of course.)
