SHHHH! While we listen to words of wisdom from a wise man.
Conscience is the light of the Soul that burns within the chambers of our psychological heart. It is as real as life is. It raises the voice in protest whenever anything is thought of or done contrary to the righteousness. Conscience is a form of truth that has been transferred through our genetic stock in the form of the knowledge of our own acts and feelings as right or wrong. A virtuous and courageous person can alone use the instrument of conscience. He or she can alone hear the inner voice of the soul clearly. In a wicked person this faculty is absent. The sensitive nature of his / her conscience has been destroyed by sin or corruption. Hence he or she is unable to discriminate right from wrong. Those who are leading organizations, business enterprises, institutions and governments should develop this virtue of the ability to use their own conscience. This wisdom of using the clean conscience will enable them to enjoy the freedom.
Dr APJ Kalam, President of India given during the inauguration of the seminar on “THE EFFECTS OF CORRUPTION ON GOOD GOVERNANCE AND HUMAN RIGHTS

St. Paul crime up; Minneapolis down in first half of 2008

Crime in St. Paul rose slightly in the first half of 2008, bucking a national trend of declining rates, according to FBI statistics released today.
While crime was down in some categories in St. Paul, there was a 0.2 percent increase overall — amounting to 10 more crimes — in the first six months of last year, compared with the same period in 2007. In Minneapolis, crime fell 9.2 percent.
The major crime categories with the largest increases in St. Paul were robbery (358 in the first six months of 2008, which was 24 more than the same time in 2007) and larceny-theft (3,066 in the first half of 2008, which was 151 more than the same period in 2007).
At the halfway point in the year, murders in St. Paul were down — nine, compared with 11 in 2007. But the year finished with an increase — 18, compared with 16 in 2007.
The major crime categories that noted decreases in the first six months of 2008 in St. Paul were rape (73 vs. 78), assault (639 vs. 623), burglary (1,248 vs. 1,234) and car theft (868 vs. 996).
In Minneapolis, every major crime category recorded decreases in the first half of 2008, compared with 2007. The biggest drop was in murder — there were 17 in 2008 and 26 in 2007.
The Pioneer Press didn't include arson in its analysis for St. Paul or Minneapolis because half-year tallies weren't provided for 2007.
Nationally, the FBI reports that violent crime fell 3.5 percent and property crime 2.5 percent in the
first six months of 2008.
The results of a failed housing/crime strategy. It is time to quit condemning homes and putting innocent women and children on the streets because some member of their family is a crook.

"BUCKING A NATIONAL TREND" Let's see what are we doing different than the rest of the country. NO other city has a code enforcement officer accompany the police on a raid!
Elect our police chief.
This is a cost effective way to deal with crime and it takes the politics out of policing.
JP
Community Policing is at fault. Get rid of it anb start doing the job they were intended to do.
JP 3:09 PM
Elect our police chief.
That would cut crime by 50% the first year.
That would happen when the police powered by a Democratic City Government lose their power by controlling the chief.
That property room at the police station has great wealth flowing in and out of it.
Drugs, Cash, Guns at the police station and the cars, boats, motor cycles and mobile homes at the St.Paul Impound lot where Aaron Foster is incharge.
Foster isn't even a police officer and he carries a pistol.
What ever happen to Foster, about the Barbara Winn case in court?
One of the reasons Mpls has a lower crime rate is technology. They have installed gunshot detectors in all of their high crime areas, and you can bet that it didn't take long for the criminals to figure it out. Showing them on the 10pm news didn't hurt, I'm sure. So, you can make a logical assumption that some of those criminals crossed the river, which could be a reason contributing to our uptick in crime.
In regards to the "elect our chief" theory, once someone gets elected, how much time do you think they'll spend getting re-elected? Now you've made a full time chief into a part time one.
and JP, I just re-read your second sentence. "...it takes the politics out of policing". you plan on taking the politics out of policing by inserting politics into the process? How's that been working out for, say, Ramsey County Sheriff?
