Watching The Detectives SWAT Team
By Mitch Berg
Joel Rosenberg – who follows police issues, especially excessive use of force issues, as closely as anyone – writes:
If you’re interested in the issue I’ve been covering, you might want to read this, right about, well, now.
He links to a piece by Steve Perry in the Daily Mold that does something the rest of the Twin Cities media should do; reports on allegations of excessive force complaints against the Minneapolis Police.
Read Perry’s piece; while he’s a reliably-apoplectic lefty, he (and, when he ran it, the City Pages) intersperses some good reporting into the droning cant.

Yup. That said, I’m not going to be picky; if a reporter is actually going to, well, report on this stuff, I’m happy to live with his political, err, inadequacy.
fwiw, there’s an update on this, just about here.
When I say “it’s broke,” it’s demonstrable.
