Quick. Someone call the cops. "Some people are grilling some hot dogs." How about we grill him on.... settlements for police abuse and misconduct he signed off on as a City Council member, eh?
The @StarTribune’s anti-Mary bent feels really strange to me. While amplifying the voices and experiences of crime victims is critical, these stories feel like they are *very intentionally* cherry-picking voices that meet their larger political agenda. startribune.com/families-of-cr…
You see stories like these, ad nauseam, in outlets that receive direct funding from deeply conservative orgs. Stories that aren’t even templated he said/she said regurgitations, but just he said he said he said over and over.
And the Strib, which was built on he said/she said journalistic design, is eschewing even that tired model for one that’s even more explicitly conservative. How and why is that happening? What is the impetus? What is the current culture there? What’s driving this shift/vendetta?
Sure, Target, with one of the world's top loss-prevention programs and FORENSIC LABS even the FBI can't match. "Theft and crime" are the main reasons you're closing these stores.
This is an old story, but it details how their forensics lab works, and how/why they are tapped by law enforcement and FBI to provide support. Did anyone ask for supporting evidence of this HUGE loss they experienced due to crime? forbes.com/forbes/2008/04…
Target's sales declined for the first time in six years--by more than five percent. "Shrinkage" rates--loss due to theft--increased by one percent over same period last year. Maybe Target isn't being honest and reporters are just running with their "crime" narrative?
