These police chiefs are giving me further proof that Minnesota law enforcement is worthless. My several encounters with law enforcement fail to give confidence. One was when I called in a domestic violence event, which involved a break and entry, drunk and disorderly, assualt and battery, destruction of property and criminal trespass at a neighbors place. Police refused to make an arrest, instead asked the woman to ggive the bum some money for a cab ride home (he should have gotten a ride to the county lockup). Another case was a man unconcious on a sidewalk, with temperatures plummetting. VA Hospital Police were on the scene long before Minneapolis arrived, to the VA cops’ credit. Both cases, the local cops had the “why you take me away from my donut?” I get the impression of a highly unprofessional attitude. A major contrast to Texas or even New Jersey.
My experience is that MPLS is far less professional than St.Paul but that’s just my opinion.
