[Mpls] Gangs,Police, Priorities

[Allen]

The Mayor and the city council spent more than they had budgeted to bring in
the new Police Chief, William McManus.  They and others said more needed to
be done for the police to improve community relations, reduce police
brutality, and other such things.  Resources and bodies have been shuffled
around for those.  It should be no surprise with those priorities along with
the cities lack of ability to make tough spending choices that things in the
north part of town are getting worse.  The community voted on it's
priorities.  And, unfortunately, it's the residents of North Minneapolis
that bear the highest burdens in dealing with them.
