Where’s that?

By James Q. Lynch - Cedar Rapids police officers are helping maintain order at the Republican National Convention. They’re working in St. Paul to repay the support they received from police them during June flooding.

So far, officers said Wednesday night, they haven’t been involved in the violent demonstrations that have led to hundreds of arrests.

Like the delegates, they’re from out of town and don’t know their way around. When they get asked for directions, one officer said, “We tell them if they find what they’re looking for to come back and tell us where it is.”
