[Mpls] Crime and Safety on the North Side

[Steve Brandt]

Paul Weir:  Alas,the editors and reporters need to learn some history,
master a few facts, talk to some knowledgeable people, and only then
pronounce ex 
cathedra on issues of crime and safety.

Brandt:  While all due respect to Paul's points, reporters don't write
editorials.  That's why so many editorials are based on a theoretical
construct of the world, which often bears little relation to street
conditions.  Those who write them do need to get out more, and see the
real world.
