According to the Strib, "Minneapolis City Council Member Natalie Johnson Lee said Friday she hasn't decided whether to pay the fine or formally dispute a police citation she received for blocking traffic and disobeying a police officer in her North Side ward."
http://www.startribune.com/stories/462/4045205.html Sounds like a clash of 2 people with attitudes. Seems that the Minneapolis cops have enough problems with out this, Inspector Dolan only fans the flames. Most drivers would have simply driven around a person stopped to engage in conversation. In this case when the officer was already dealing with a medical situation (taking someone to the hospital) and he takes time out for this? And is it really a lawful police order to tell a Council Member to move a conversation with a constituent? Somehow I don't see the same results if it had been Zerby in South East or Ostrow in Northeast. Terrell Brown Loring Park 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.) ________________________________ Minneapolis Issues Forum - A City-focused Civic Discussion - Mn E-Democracy Post messages to: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Subscribe, Un-subscribe, etc. at: http://e-democracy.org/mpls
