Did anyone see the article in today's (Monday) Star Tribune about the bus
driver who was beaten and the video tape of it? It was in Growe's column. This
is the same incident that sparked such a discussion on this list that the Strib
did the feature article on bus drivers safety and beatings.
Nothing more has been said on the list.
Now it turns out that the video that was released to the press, caught the guy
who did it, and shown the spotlight on the problem in general, has gotten the
officer into some hot water.
Apparently none of this would have happened if he didn't take it upon himself
to deal with the situation. Probably would have been swept under the rug with
all the other incidents that nobody knew about. But he released the evidence of
the beating to the press without permission. A lot of good came of it this
time, I don't know if that would always be the case, but I was wondering what
all you folks think of this?
