This is amazing. Fifty years of documented, almost weekly, abuse and, according to this statement, a single con job (if true) can blow it all?
Utterly ridiculous. The pattern of police violence perpetrated on citizens of Minneapolis covers decades. It is a department rife with a culture of racist and self-serving releases of rage on citizens with whom they believe they are in a continuous war. Whether Porter's claims are genuine or not, his case is a drop in the bucket of slime comprising the law enforcement culture - in which even the finest and cleanest officers are infected by the blue code of silence when their brothers and sisters pour out their anger on defenseless citizens whose safety they are charged with protecting.

Think a member has violated the rules? Email the list manager at [EMAIL PROTECTED] before continuing it on the list. 2. Don't feed the troll!
