Benefit to help deputy chief pay legal fees

Armed with a Greek vacation getaway, a motor scooter and a two-carat
diamond tennis bracelet, a handful of supporters for Minneapolis Deputy
Police Chief Lucy Gerold are on a mission to finish work they think city
officials left undone.

[TB]  The Chief was reported to have said that he'd "take her out", he
apparently wasn't happy that he was interested in the same job he was.
He launches an investigation and she gets stuck with the bill.

The Council should have done the right thing here, and they paid the
entire legal fees for the 2 men who the Chief included in the
investigation.

Looks like the problems with the Police Department continue.
