Actually that was exactly what was said. A major portion of your original post was nothing but anecdotal evidence from your own experince or that of your friends in law enforcement/probation. But when someone posted a quote from the article you referenced you dismissed it as "unsubstantiated anecdotal evidence"

Again that is exactly what you said. In post #1 you said crime was being "excused". In post#3 you used the term "soft on crime". Yet you don't post any evidence that anything like that is happening in Minneapolis.

So I say something that is not true, but you still feel it is a good point?
The fact is that the way the police do their job has a lot to do with the crime rate. If they don't do their job then the crime rate goes up.

It is pretty clear how it is relevant. We have seen it happen before in Baltimore and other places. If anyone dares to criticize the police then they get all pissy and refuse to do their job. And as a result the crime rate goes up. They punish the public for daring to even suggest the police have done something wrong or need to change the way they do things.
