Tonight, a police chase apparently ended in front of 3002 Queen Ave. N. tonight. A black four door car, possibly a Dodge Magnum, license plate 438 BXH (Minnesota) was thoroughly searched by half a dozen police, who even checked under the hood. As much as two blocks away, two police officers were observed looking in a hedge for something, and there was a reliable report of a group detained near a church a block from the where the car remained at 3002 Queen.
At least one individual was apparently in custody, a dark-skinned black male in a long white t-shirt, approximately in his 20s. Another individual--a light skinned black male in late teens or early twenties, with long hair tied back in a bun--was observed to be released at the scene. Fourth Precinct Commander Mike Martin was present.
Rumors flew in the crowd: that the incident was a...
...shooting. A high speed chase. A high speed chase AND a shooting. A call to the Fourth Precinct produced the following cryptic information: the incident had nothing to do with the immediate area of 30th and Queen except "the car we were after ended up there." There was no shooting but, in fact, a shooting was "what we were trying to prevent."
It was noted that 3002 Queen Ave. N. had an incredible crop of burdock weeds and so, when I got home, I dropped an email to the 311 system, attaching a photo.
God Bless The Fourth Precinct.

Word comes that no-accounts are always hanging out at that particular intersection.
ReplyDeleteWeeds? Well at least they weren't trying to fix a car in the street. Thanks for making that call John.
ReplyDeleteNo doubt the 4th rocks! I wish there was some kind of Domestic Terrorism Service Medal we could give them. Talk about a "forgotten war"!
ReplyDeleteI agree, with gangs called The Taliban running around we should be able to utilize the Patriot Act against them.
ReplyDeleteInteresting idea Hans. I like your name... reminds me of someone I know
ReplyDeleteI got word back from the 311 system about the incredible crop of burdock in the back yard, as follows:
