[Mpls] Police chief candidates

[Greg Abbott]

Given the heated commentary about police issues on the list, I'm surprised I haven't seen any commentary on the police chief selection process.

All of the candidates struck me as fairly well qualified. If I had to choose, my preference would be for Sharon Lubinski, partly for a preference for an internal candidate, and partly because I've seen her walking around downtown -- whether she was patrolling, supervising, or just monitoring, I don't know, but I like the fact that she's not a "behind the desk" type of supervisor. A track record of visibility in the community also strikes me as a very positive mark in her favor. But, on paper at least, I don't have a negative reaction to any of the candidates.

At any rate, I'm curious about the opinions of my fellow list-members on the candidates, particularly those who (unlike me) have a strong opinion one way or the other.
