Carbon Footprint Small
As conscientious green anti-democracy hooligans think globally, attack cops locally. Star Trib:
Police arrested 19 bicyclists, including three juveniles, after a protest ride took an ugly turn in downtown Minneapolis Friday night.
About 200 bicyclists were riding on La Salle Avenue, with two officers monitoring the protest that called for reduced reliance on automobile transportation. The ride was also linked with weekend protests of next year’s Republican National Convention in the Twin Cities.
When officers tried to arrest a rider they felt had been trying to provoke them, a scuffle broke out, said Minneapolis Police Lt. Marie Przynski.
“When the officer went to arrest him, his buddy came up, and they started to struggle with the officer,” Przynski said.
A group surrounded the officers, and begin to chant “Let them go!”Then several people tried to prevent the officers from arresting these individuals,” she said, and a skirmish ensued.
Soon, the two officers were surrounded by about 30 people, and they issued the call “officer needs help.”

Next time, let these riders know that somewhere along their route, if they hear Harley Davidson motorcycles at full throaty roar, they may either be police or a group of Hell’s Angels who don’t take kindly to outsiders on their turf - especially those joyriding on wimpy bicycles.
Would these bike riders want to tangle with hardcore Hell’s Angels? Not if they like all their teeth and their bones unbroken!
