Here is an article by David Chanen: "expect short honeymoon for McManus"
http://www.startribune.com/stories/462/4320024.html Much of the support for McManus comes from people who don't like the police. My prediction: If McManus is confirmed, the result will be more complaints against the police, not less. What happens when you raise expectaions which can't possibly be met? What will happen when criminals think they and the police are on a level playing field? Council Members who want to heat up the issue of police brutality should vote IN FAVOR of Manus. I am sure that the Mayor and the Liberal Establishment think that the McManus appointment will put the issue of police brutality to rest. Instead of quieting critics of the police, the issue will move to the front burner. Save us from naive, well-meaning liberals and their good intentions! When will they ever learn?
