I don't know about that. I think the largest unbudgeted expenditure of the city of minneapolis has been paying out settlements after the police department violates someone's rights. This includes an instance of one trigger happy officer actually shooting another officer who was in plainclothes and doubled over after having already being shot by a third party.
The trigger happy cop's name is charles storlie, and was previously known in the community as that cop who shot that kid in the back as he was running away and got away with it. Now he's known as that cop who shot another cop and got away with it. Where is he now? Well, the only reason he isn't still on the mpd is that he is a civilian security contractor in iraq. That's reassuring.
The mpd has a rich tradition of douchebaggery. This latest event doesn't surprise me one bit- except the part where they didn't kill everybody in the apartment. Kudos to them, i guess.
