I think Greg Reinhardt makes great points about
qualifications, but I think there's something missing.
I don't believe that where you own real estate makes
you inherently more qualified to be a police officer
in any city, Minneapolis included. But I do know that
police officers and their families are the kind of
households that strengthen blocks and neighborhoods.
It's not so much an issue of qualification, as a
desire to populate Minneapolis with people who
overwhelmingly represent the very kind of folks who
make this city great and can help even more to make it
greater. I think some sort of incentive program makes
sense. It's a wasted opportunity for the city that so
many of its police officers choose to live elsewhere,
and I wonder what it says about the city that it fails
to attract qualified candidates for the police force
that also want to live where they serve.

"The main thing that marks my methodology
is that I really do use myself as a control.
I pay very close attention to myself, my
feelings because then I have a base.
And it is not intellectual... You are the
instrument of research. This is a very
important point to underscore. We really
should pay more attention to the senses and
to ourselves."
