Do you trust Minneapolis Police Department to protect and serve?

Thier behaviour is indefensible and total embarrassment to the good people of great city of Minneapolis. Minneapolis police should be thoroughly investigated by Feds or by the State of Minnesota and its legislator ASAP.

And you don't think Federal agents are corrupt?? Wrong they are 100 times worse at a higher level -

Like the Douchebaggs in the street gangs are perfect angels who do nothing wrong. I really don't blame the cops if they go bonkers, who says cops have to be perfect?

So if the Feds are corrupt and 100 times worse, you admit the MPD is corrupt... right? Or are you contradicting yourself? Cops are just people, you have your good ones and bad ones. Some people will help an old lady cross the street, some people will embrace the lure of dirty money.

The MPD needs to weed out it's bad ones by getting rid of the root... Dolan.

I know there are good and bad in everything -I don't think its ALL corrupt, My son is one of them the COPS actually SWAT -ive seen cops go to calls and its the same people over and over Ive seen medics and fire fighters not do any thing and say I pick this smae guy up last week drunk or this guy 2 months ago shot, I don't want bangers taking over and that what is happening, I am not for restorative justice if you break the law do the time, And its the ELECTED officials that make the lAWS and you vote them in, I could go on and on, but you have your beliefs and I have my knowledge, time spent on block clubs. ride a longs, civilian reviev boards, community crime prevention, slum lords, so I do know some things about what what is goiong on,
I"m a firm believe in 3 strikes your out, that doesn't mean I'm a bad person,

What is your point? All of that work for nothing, you are still clueless. You contradict yourself and make no sense. So you want a drunk to drive a drunk home? Your gang problem isn't going anywhere fast with a corrupt disbanded gang strike force, now is it???????

There were rumors that the kid who killed the innocent Pizza Hut driver a year or two was shaken down and had some crack and about 290 dollars in his possesion. The cops took it and let him go. 5 days later he killed an innocent kid. What happened to the evidence? Did they spend the money at the strip joint??? Another fine example of your fine cops working hard to get rid of your gang problem.... once again you are clueless looking in.

[swatmom]

Sorry bud I'm not clue less I have taken more time in one week than you have in a life time to know whats going on in our city, I'm on the review board for christ sake, I think you need to buy a clue and please don't waste time with a response you are wasting my time, Oh and don't ever tie up 911 with your stupid ignorance if some one beats you are shoots at you

Trust me I don't. My house was robbed and they did nothing. My car was broken into and my 16 year old neighbor caught the perps by himself and they did nothing. If I can shoot the criminals myself I would. I call the cops because it is the law. I follow the law unlike the gang strike force. My tax dollars hard at work.

Oh, you need to get off the review board and go back to school. My 6 year old son writes better than you. They teach the proper use of periods in the 1st grade, maybe you missed it. You sound like a crazy old white woman from Savage who is looking into Minneapolis, through a glass window, without a clue. The only review board you have been on is the the one that reviews if you need medication or not.

[swatmom from MPLS]

Savage? I live by Hiawatha and Lake. If the cops didn't show up I'm sorry, Did you ever think to check with 911 on why? Did you ask to talk to a SGT? I've called the cops and found out 911 dispatched the call in correctly. Despite what you might think and you have a mind of your own, Crime does happen in MPLS, Why don't you become a police office maybe you can change the way things are run if it bothers you that much.Maybe a permit to carry a fire arm, I do carry my fire arm legally, Oh and I am not on medication for being crazy and what color my skin is not an issue in this, If you read my first post before you started going off, I did say that MPLS had good and bad cops,The gang task force is not the whole dept, now is? So don't judge on a few, My son is Special Weapons And Tactics.So I have given up being on the review board but it was a good thing while I was on it. Why don't you try to get on it? Or better yet get a lawyer and sue the cops for being mean to you? I'm not and didn't say every one was perfect, YOU are a angry person and need to deal with that,, that's not a police issue, Please don't respond I really don't think you and I have any more to say to each other.

Take you own advice and read what I said. Then read what you said and see if it makes sense? Read all of your contradictions. You would be angry to if you were not clueless. You are a big dope. Duh, crime does happen in Minneapolis and cops are just human. Who said crime did not happen in Minneapolis???? Not one person said that on this forum. The question is not does crime exist, the question is do you trust MPD.

There are bad cops in the MPD and we need to weed them all out by digging at the root bottom line. If you are a good cop then I commend you and you should come forward because these bad cops are giving you a bad name. If you have nothing else to say then shut up.

[swatmom from MPLS]

Take your own advice I asked you not to respond I see how weell you listen - YOU SHUT UP AND PLEASE DON"T RESPOND!!! THANKS I will not let you or any one else call my son a "bad cop" just because he is with MPD what do you think of the St. Louis Park cop that killed a Marine? Oh wait I don't want to know,, I really don't want to Thanks you are so easily to upset its kinda funny,
BYE!!!

Yeah ok, you need to try harder next time because this time you fail. Like I said, what is your point once again? Now you want to ask me what I think about crooked cops in other departments? Duh?????????? Another contradiction once again on your part, I guess MPD doesn't have bad cops but St. Louis Park does? You bring nothing to the table about this subject except a bias opinion.

[swatmom from MPLS]

Anger managment buddy for you!! It is SO easy to upset you No wonder you don't like cops they may see you at your best ANGRY doing some thing wrong.. End of story, PLEASE DON"T RESPOND just get the anger under control..

I don't hate cops and I am sure everyone who stated they don't trust the MPD feels the same way. We hate crooked cops. There is a big difference.

OH and police are not your kids baby sitters be a damn parent, His being out on the street has made him a hard person seeing whay he does, day in and day out.. He doens't like knocking on your door to tell you that your son or daughter was hit by a car or drunk at a party, he's much rather you had control of them,,, I could go on and on about the "GOOD" things cop do, but you idiots will never listen

You state that your Son has become a hard person. Well im sick and tired of everyone talking about how tough their job is. Yes, it is tough, but i don't feel any sympathy for them because they know full well what it is that their getting themsevels into when they choose to become a Cop. Their are some good Cops out their along with a lot of bad one's.

[swatmom from MPLS]

I agree He's seen a lot more than I would like to at a young age, But every day he goes to work does his job and loves it. The part that has made him hard it the fact that he has to deal with people like you that don't like him before you even deal with him because he's a cop. He's not compalining and he doesn't I AM!!If he were to cmplain would you think he is a bad cop? I hope every day he gets to go home to see his daughter just like you see your kids, He loves his job, 26 yrs old been with the dept since he was 18 has a 4 yrs degree working on a masters, home owner, wife and kid, lifes good for him.. Never been written up at work, So I happen to think he's a good cop,

I was just stating my opinion. I don't hate cops. However, i will say again that i believe that their is a great deal of corruption at all levels of Law Enforcement. And no, i've never ben arrested ever in my life. So don't think that i'm some low life thug. I'm employeed with a Major Airline.

[No spin zone]

I strongly mistrust cops! Just a gang with a badge.
