depicted are actually St. Paul police officers.

While there are many frustrations with the police on the
north side, I find many of them should belong with the city management
(council, mayor, police chief). Recently
however, I observed something that was a complete lack of judgment on the part
of the responding officer. Several calls
to 911 had been placed by residents reporting a loud party complete with 4
people in a vehicle parked in front of the house next door. Several people came
from the party with glasses in their hands, got into the vehicle and were
lighting and passing something around. There was one individual who urinated in
the middle of the street.
When the police showed up around 20 minutes later (not a bad
response time for that time of night on a non-violent incident), they proceeded,
from their squad to tell the people from the car that they “should go back
inside as their neighbor was pissed at them.” Now since the speakers in the party house were on the side of the house
they were parked in front of, they quickly placed the blame on that neighbor
for making the call...
