Minneapolis robberies continue

2005 was a banner year for violent Minneapolis robberies. 2006 is starting off with a bang: "2 Minneapolis robberies similar to others".

Police believe two robberies involving gunfire Tuesday are part of a pattern of "brazen" and "bold" armed robberies in north Minneapolis.

Chief McManus must be too busy taking medals away from his officers to comment on the continous cascade of robberies sweeping the city from south to north throughout 2005, and showing no abatement in this early part of 2006.

Have you heard Minneapolis Mayor Ryback, Hennepin county Attorney Klobuchar, or Chief McManus discuss the continuous waves of violent robberies in a meaningful way?

If the spring of 2006 is anything like the spring of 2005, look out.
