Goodhue, MN is a rural town that I can’t believe they call a city. Their population is 1,176. We’re talking about 2 cops and a chief. This is overly dramatic. Pay and staffing, I can understand. Police are having severe staffing shortages across the rural Midwest, for sure, and George Floyd for sure exacerbated that situation, but this headline is a hair on fire reaction to 3 guys looking (rightfully) for a pay raise from a bigger department (likely Red Wing or Wabasha, MN).
