Trouble in Lake Wobegon
Garrison Keillor didn't much like the way in which some "burly" security men behaved during his trip to Texas last year, but this post indicates that security matters can get a bit out of hand even in such progressive outposts as Keillor's beloved Minneapolis. A couple of Minneapolis' finest apparently decided to arrest, rough up and Taser a citizen who had the audacity to attempt to ride home from the local airport on his bicycle. The bicyclist ended up spending 24 hours in jail before being released on a $2,000 bond. A trial, in which the bicyclist is apparently representing himself, is scheduled for mid-July. Stay tuned.
