So I'm out for a quiet Saturday morning stroll....
And all hell breaks loose.......
Two cops on motorcycles roar around the corner so I think: motorcade's a-coming. Nope, just every squad car in Minneapolis. Seems the gentleman being offered a ride here was having a disagreement with his beloved after an all night gin fest. The authorities are called to referee and our boy lands a punch on the responding officer. Well, the punchee gets on the blower, because he doesn't take to kindly to this, and the entire force stands on the gas arriving soon after, brakes a-smokin'.
A woman walks up to me and says, "Eleven cop cars for one guy! That's where our tax money is going!" She walks away and I think, yeah, but it beats TV.
Yes, the authorities here are good at over reacting to things. The guy's lucky he didn't get shot.
