Keith says; This dismissive, ad hominem, gratuitous, and unsubstantiated attack on the conduct of the Mpls. Police departments patrolmen mocks the rest of the posters message. He asks for proof of the family's allegations against the waitperson and manager. Yet he accepts, wholecloth, the families complaints against the police. He asks "...is anyone surprised?" We should all be surprised by the ease, and acceptance, of dissing the Mpls. Police.

The poster doesn't even bother with unsubstantiated attacks on me -- he goes right for the insults and pretends to know what I was thinking. I said nothing about proof of the allegations -- saying I did is a complete fabrication by the poster.
Was I even attacking the Minneapolis Police Department? Did I say I believed the family's complaint against them? No, I was saying that such remarks about the police department are so commonplace these days, that it's no surprise to find them in this story, too.
That does not say anything about which way I feel about the MPD.
I think they are frequently and unfairly maligned.
The whole point of my message was that there is a severe lack of common courtesy and an over-abundance of knee-jerk law suit filing in today's society. The poster just demonstrated my point with his over the top inflammatory rhetoric and fabrications.
Sheesh.

TEMPORARY REMINDER: 1. Don't feed the troll! Ignore obvious flame-bait. 2. If you don't like what's being discussed here, don't complain - change the subject (Mpls-specific, of course.)
