As a Minneapolis taxpayer, <br />legislator and an elected official who is normally seen as a friend of the rank and file cop, I <br />probably should be angry and frustrated by your legal actions against the city. I'm not. <br /> <br />I'm angry at the city for allowing some in the police department to mistreat you. You are the <br />kind of individual we need patrolling our streets. <br /> <br />I'm pleased that the people of Elk River had the common sense to hire someone who doesn't just <br />go along with the boys. I wish you well in your career there. <br /> <br />Thanks again for speaking out. You did the fight thing. <br /> <br />State Representative <br /> <br />WS:ln <br /> <br />4838 30th Avenue South, Minneapolis, Minnesota 55417 <br /> <br />(612) 721-1515 <br /> <br />State Office Building, 100 Constitution Ave, St. Paul, Minnesota 55155-1298 <br /> FAX (612) 296-4121 <br /> <br />TDD (612) 296-9896 <br /> <br />(612) 296-4330 <br /> <br /> <br />
