And, given the militaristic creeping-fascist tactics of the Mpls police
under Belton re Highway 55, Mayday, ISAG, etc, why should we want to
replace the Park Police with law-breakers in official dress?
Now, if we could replace Mpls "finest" (joke) with Park Police, that might
be quite an improvement!
(Unless of course more experienced observers prove that the Park Police
are even worse the the Mpls cops - hard to do, but one should never
underestimate those who are being all that they can be).
