Tom's Criminal Behavior
November 21, 2012 | 02:02 PM
Sounds like outrageous overstepping by MPD. Good on you Tom for stopping by at the scene and expressing your rights as a citizen. I was in that traffic snarl-up.
I look forward to your headline, Innocent Bystander in Massive Tinted Window Drag Net Shock Horror
So we have:
1. Police operation oblivious of inconvenience and delay to thousands of commuters in rush hour: Grossly inconsiderate (at the least).
2. Denying citizens their right to know and ask reasonable questions: Heavy handed/bullying (at the least).
3. Arresting said inquisitve, retreating bystander. Arrogance, intimidation.
Your experience reads like Rodney King and Ian Tomlinson (G20/London) writ small, but it's the thin end of the same very troubling wedge.
Nice one, MPD. I take it the Department has given zero consideration to alienating the population that employs them and is willing to put public goodwill at risk. I'm sure glad I wasted 20 minutes of my life so they could pull over a lifted monster truck or two.
