Thanks FROG, but our paper went out earlier today with the story. Too bad no one got a pic of the officer tackling the guy! When I talked to the Shakopee Police Captain today about the incident, he left that part out :)

FROG — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 20:14:42 -0600

I have three pics of which you can choose. One has a picture with two squads parked right by the front entrance like only a cop car could, the two others have a picture of each police transportation unit in the spots where the officers apparently left them as they went in to make the arrest. Just let me know and I can send them to ya.

I did take a pic. and I

Don't worry Frog, we'll have something on both arrests very soon.

Kinda harsh there FROG,

Kinda harsh there FROG, without someone telling the reporter of the story just how would they know where to be to get the story? Why did you not call to the paper? Take a picture?

There was another incident

FROG — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 09:54:10 -0600

There was another incident at Walmart on Tuesday 2 squads responded and there was an actual physical confrontation with two suspects who apparently pushed their luck too far. You could have taken a pic of Walmart with a cop car in front of it and had a storie for the paper that didnt just happen outside your window. Dont work too hard there!

I wonder If that show of

I wonder If that show of force and weapon action was the result of a felony or misdeamenor stop? That could be the difference between deepdish and hotdogs.

This was not a funny

wishbone47 — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 20:50:34 -0600

This was not a funny situation. The professionalism shown by all the officers involved was outstanding. I had pulled into the lot just ahead of this car in question and saw the whole thing unfold. After leaving my car, I was told to get inside and was glad to do so when the firepower was visible. They did their job and everyone went home safely. Well, not EVERYONE. Out of the 6 people removed from the vehicle, I guess one got the prize and 5 just had to go home and tell mom car got towed..

Pizza Hut? they were trying

FROG — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 19:15:07 -0600

Pizza Hut? they were trying to go to Mcdonalds and made the wrong entrance. Ive done it before. The headline could have mentioned McDonalds but then we might think the police were after the "Hamburglar".

If it was just a few, this

If it was just a few, this whole dress code shirt issue would not be a topic. It is a school wide problem that daily is being dealt with. $5-8 per shirt is NOT expensive. Go to any store and you will spend more per shirt. The logo is for school cohesiveness. And the majority of the 350 families polled support this possible new uniform shirt.

The school bands all have a dress code, that's not a problem? I watched a concert when my eldest was in 7th grade, approximately 6 years ago. The band uniform is white shirt and black pants (junior high). One of the clarinet players (female) showed up and played on stage wearing a white shirt, but the thing was little more that a piece of lingerie. The code stated white 3/4 or long sleeved shirt. This girl wore spaghetti straps and was extremely low cut. Why was she allowed to go on wearing that or wasn't given a button-up extra shirt that is on-hand? Obviously, a PARENT allowed this girl to wear that shirt and most likely purchased it. This illustrates also how some parents ignore the rules too.

Not so fast. Duluth's

Not so fast. Duluth's partner in the project, the city of Superior, has apparently pulled out of the project.

Duluth created a YouTube

Duluth created a YouTube video to gain support for its application. The city promised to rename its first-born children Google Fiber and Google-ette Fiber.

I agree it is an example,

Kristin Holtz — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 12:02:36 -0600

I agree it is an example, but then again isn't that how all rules are made? Typically a few people do something inappropriate so that a law/rule/guideline must be made to ensure not everyone else does it, too?
