"A police officer accused of intentionally pepper spraying a child is to be punished - if he or she were to go searching through a crowd passing by people one by one until they found the child and without provocation "maced" the child."
no police officer pepper sprayed a child. no police officer was accused of pepper spraying a child. one poster on another list did accuse the police of pointing the pepper spray at a child, and this rumor was maliciously reported on this list as fact, and now it is being embellished and repeated again. On a post to this list a reporter for the pulse made a similar claim about police pepper spraying a child. I'm paraphrasing when she said we should be mad about the "idea" of the police pepper spraying a child. This is rumor mongering and it is a too bad because it takes away from the credibility of those who are working to get better oversight of police actions in minneapolis. mark wilde windom park __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
