Rest assured the cops who did this will not get off scot-free.

Participation in the coffee fund and the NCAA roundball pool are privileges, not rights, ya know!!

Other police departments in the Twin Cities area are also some real turkeys.

Like the Richfield Police Stormtroopers? The stories I could tell about those idiots would make you wonder if calling the police for help is a good idea. It's a shame though, I've meet many excellent LEO's around the world, and it's just a few that have left such a sour taste in my mouth.

You’re spot on. Bouza was the East coaster that said Minneapolis didn’t have a gang problem, while the ViceLords and Bloods were running wild all over town.
I recently moved out of Hakeem Ellison’s third world hellhole, and am not looking back. It will not get better.

Recurrence CANNOT be deterred if city tax-payers always pick-up the tab. Think about it:

“OK we gotcha for speeding, and to make sure it doesn’t recur, we hereby charge the CITY $300...”

Would that deter YOU? It wouldn’t deter me. And that’s why the cops make it, “Pay as you pollute” —the person who performs the tort must PAY. And we should do the same for the cops:

If a cop REALLY wants to join an entry-team and jump around in the ninjya kook gear and he’s a GOOD GUY, then let him post a, “Break Bond” —he takes pays for an insurance policy for $250,000 or something, in case he shoots someone’s dog needlessly or, say, drives over an orphanage with the SWAT A.P.C.

What’s the problem?

I mean...after all IF THEY DON’T PLAN TO DO ANYTHING WRONG, THEN THEY HAVE NOTHING TO FEAR.

Dead wrong.

The populace directly elects the municipal government that employs and directs the gendarmes.

Some local populaces are so damned stupid that they will not install a different sort of law enforcement until they are so broke they can't replace washed out bridges or keep the water utilities functioning. They fully deserve to be that broke for their idiocy.

No, the citizenry is not getting anything unfair, and this is what it takes to deal with idiots.

..according to police reports, and say the grenade was dropped on the door threshold and not rolled toward Russell.

Oh yes, your Honor, we did not flash bang her, we flash banged ourselves as we came in the door sir...

What horse manure!
