Minneapolis police union assai
Minneapolis policeman Jason Andersen had become "a high-profile officer" and was singled out for firing even though other officers had been accused — and even convicted — of worse violations than the domestic assault charge he once faced, an attorney for the Minneapolis Police Federation said Thursday.
"This case represents one more situation where the administration singles out certain officers for unjustly harsh treatment," Ann Walther said. She also said there wasn't enough evidence in the case "to justify any discipline, let alone termination."

Mickelberg case prompts call f
A criminologist has called for Western Australia Police Commissioner Karl O'Callaghan to have more powers to deal with under-performing senior officers.
The call by criminologist David Indermaur comes after a public apology by Commissioner O'Callaghan to the Mickelberg brothers yesterday and a number of other problems with high-profile cases this year.
Mr Indermaur says many of the problem cases have been from the 90s and earlier.
He says there should be a review of the WA Police Service.
"I think we need to strengthen the hand of the Commissioner to be able to make the changes that are necessary to actually achieve a modern, professional police force," he said.
"That means being able to hold his officers accountable for their performance and being able to move police officers that are under-performing."
He says there needs to be generational renewal, particularly in regards to some senior police.
"Unfortunately we don't have, yet, the ability to remove police who are not performing as well as they should be," he said.
"There's a very powerful police union that will oppose any moves to move police who are under-peforming."
