Yesterday's City Pages has a really interesting story by Demko and
Anderson about Mpls. cops and the costs thereof. I was especially struck
by the quotes of our current chief and those of Mr. Finny, former chief
in St. Paul. (I won't spoil it by telling you. Read this one yourself.)
I was also struck by the amount of money spent on law suits--it really
adds up and pretty quickly too.
Good job, Anderson and Demko.
