[TB] I'm not going to claim to be the biggest defender of the Mayor,
but did you ask if he's done anything? If not, the Mayor's phone
number is 612-673-2100.
The question seems more of an accusation of not doing anything than a
question.

[TB] Probably not the biggest defender of the Police Department here
either, am I to think that anytime a person is arrested, any group that
s/he is a member of is being harassed by the cops? I'm not familiar
with the charge of "dancing in the street", but I can think of a whole
bunch of problems with that particular activity.
Generally if one is going to have a party in the street, it's a good
idea to get a permit and some barricades?
Out of curiosity, did the street dancing take place during the bus
strike?
