[Mpls] Cops in Warehouse district last Friday night

[Mike Jensvold]

I went for a night out last Friday night in the warehouse district area.  I 
definitely noticed the stepped-up police presence.  However, I noticed 
groups of as many as six police officers standing in one location, in a 
circle, fraternizing.  Now, cops have got to fight boredom and have a 
little conversation, but wouldn't they be more effective walking around a 
little more, in pairs, perhaps?  Also, I think more cops on horseback can 
help police visibility, both for the cops to see and be seen.

Also, I noticed a cop taking a dip (spit tobacco) right in front of "block 
e" on Hennepin.  I realize the need to feed the nicotine habit, but perhaps 
they could be more discreet and not spit on one of Minneapolis's premier 
streets.
