$27 Million to George Floyd's Family; 22 Years in Prison for the Police Officer...

 but beyond those tokens of justice, has Minneapolis really changed?  Survey says, Nope.

Names of officers who killed Winston Smith unlikely to ever be made public: Minnesota and federal laws call for concealment of the names of officers working undercover, and the legal hurdles against their release are high — especially since the officers were deputized as federal agents by the U.S. Marshals North Star Fugitive Task Force.

Don't settle for anything less than Real Change. (the next time it happens too:  remember, no police cameras were activated, and the sole eyewitness is insisting her companion had only a phone, not a gun.  It still smells funny, given what we know of past police coverups here, to give the benefit of the doubt to the police that they had to kill the man whom they were watching and waiting to arrest.  Why in heaven's name wouldn't you arrest him on the street, immediately coming out after the meal?  Why take the arrest to a secluded parking garage, sans cameras, and allow the suspect to enter his vehicle instead of arresting him before he got in?

Something doesn't add up and nobody is very trusting even after all the blood money that has changed hands in this city of late.  You can't buy justice any more than you can buy a competent quarterback or 3rd baseman performance just because you've paid big for it.  Chicago coulda taught ya that.

Don't look now, but Chicago's problems are moving northward.  In small numbers, sure, but enough that those with a protector instinct should be alert to injustices everywhere.  Predatory or police.
