Should law enforcement or prosecutors charge people with crimes for political reasons? If bosses want subordinates fired, should they be charged with crimes as a way of getting rid of them?
All I know about this very strange case is what I read in the papers. Read these news stories from both newspapers and decide for yourself if the 3 officers committed a crime. Or does it sound more like politics? http://www.twincities.com/mld/pioneerpress/8061877.htm http://startribune.com/stories/462/4633698.html Do you remember how the Strib greeted the McManus appointment with joy and rapture? More facts will come out as the investigation proceeds. The Chief's vindication of Duy Ngo was a very good thing. How could anybody believe such an implausible rumor, anyway? If the charges against Gerold, Martin, and Carlson don't stick McManus will be ridden out of town on a rail. Doug Grow has a very interesting column in today's Strib: "from 3 good cops to 3 bad suspects". http://www.startribune.com/stories/465/4634652.html Ed Fesler [EMAIL PROTECTED] Minneapolis Corcoran neighborhood __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
