I think it was a bad choice by Nenshi to go after the CPS. Since Hanson took over he's added more beat cops and by most reports it's had the desired impact.
We can talk about long-term visions for the city and other things but one of the main things people care about is that their families are safe.
It's my belief that Hanson is one of the most, if not THE most respected public figure in this city.
Does that mean his department is above questioning? Not at all. But it's the wrong battle for Nenshi to be picking.
