The subhead says crime is up "thanks to opposition to racial profiling." This is a pretty repulsive concept. The only evidence he offers is that he has been advised "by a highly knowledgeable law enforcement officer" that the police department had been "paralyzed by the racial disparities crusade." He also says Minneapolis is a "case study in the destructive effects of one-party liberal rule." He doesn't make the case to support his racist political agenda. So I think continuing to work for justice with good education, employment opportunity, decent housing and common sense public safety with enough cops on the street to be proactive is still the best idea. -Nikki Carlson One of the "lakeside liberals" referred to in the article, but for whom crime is a problem, because I want to see this city and all its residents succeed Linden Hills REMINDERS: 1.
