L.A. cops get support from Minnesota
The Los Angeles Police Protective League announced Wednesday that it has picked up the support of St, Paul cops in tgheir efforts to keep Sara Jane Olson in California.
"(Olson) was an accessory to murder during a bank robbery and attempted to murder LAngeles police officers with bombs," St. Paul Police Federation President Dave Titus wrote in his letter. "These crimes occurred in California and her entire sentence should be served in California."
The move by the 650-member St. Paul, Minn. police union joins the Los Angeles Police Protective League's effort to keep her in California, despite her wishes to move back to St. Paul. The League submitted its own letter to Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger on March 6 arguing that Olson would be better monitored in California because Minnesota does not have sufficient interest to do so.
Olson was convicted of crimes as a member of th4 Symbionese Liberation Army and had been living in Minnesota as SaraJane Olson before being discovered and arrested.
