This happened tonight on 4th Street North. A resident was in her home when a menacing, shadowy figure knocked on the door, not identifying himself. He kept knocking. The resident...
...knows very well that all of her friends would NOT act that way, but would make it clear who is at the door. She shouted "NO!!!!" out the window and caled 911. The police response time was a mere two minutes.
The guy on the doorstep seemed to be some kind of confused, no-account person who kept saying something about a shovel. The police questioned the resident to make sure she didn't know him. She didn't. She had only one request: MAKE HIM GO BYE-BYE.
And the Fourth Precinct did just that. They made him go bye-bye. Wow, a two minute response time and the scary dude banging on the door went bye-bye. You'd think we live in Edina! GOOD JOB, FOURTH PRECINCT!
