dennis: "Delmonico is the union president for the police employees of the City of Minneapolis, the overwhelming majority of which DO NOT live in the City of Minneapolis. What exactly is the vested interest that's being expressed so adamantly and who benefits? What happens when the best interests of the residents (of Minneapolis) conflict with the primary interests with the Police Federation? Who's interests become subjugated?"

Having more officers on the street is a benefit to the residents of Minneapolis: less crime. What is the conflict? Nikki Carlson Linden Hills REMINDERS: 1. Be civil!
