Tracy at Anti-Strib on Minneapolis top cop Tim Dolan’s, er, faux pas on the Loesch murder:

Police Chief Tim Dolan uses the letters to the editor page of the Red Star to squander what good will he had by trying to weasel out of the mess his department created by ruining the name of Mark Loesch.

Flashback:  the MPD tried to write off the Loesch murder – in which a fortysomething father of four was beaten to death on a nighttime bike ride through the Phillips neighborhood – as drug-related.  Loesch was trying to score weed, or so they hinted in public last month. 

I’ve never indulged, but it strikes me (and many of Tracy’s commenters) as highly unlikely that a successful middle-aged guy would be buying chiba from gang-bangers on the street; anyone who gets to be forty-something and hasn’t done jail time for buying drugs likely buys it from a long-trusted, safe source.   

 Keep this up and you’ll be gone in a year Tim.
