Jim Mork: "Anyway, this brings out once against the vindictive factor in American justice. It ISN�T about protecting the population. If they cared about that, they�d try to avoid stuff that sends a worse person out than they got."
I'm not exactly sure what this means, but assuming the "they" are the sheriff's department, I want to point out that these are alleged abuses. People are already writing as if the complaint was solid fact and that it proved something. Let's wait for some kind of investigation before we start police bashing. I respect Michelle Gross for her efforts in this area, but again, these are Hennepin County Sheriffs under investigation. This list usually reserves its ranting for the Minneapolis Police. No parallel can be drawn between this case and some of the other recent ones in the news, unless it is open season on authority figures in general.
