“the hypocrisy of arresting a guy for drinking in public on his birthday when porchfest is 1 day away…”


Varnum and Kansas Ave, NW (across from 9th)

“Dear PoPville,

I think the hypocrisy of arresting a guy for drinking in public on his birthday when porchfest is 1 day away and everyone and their moms will be drinking outside on the sidewalks is just sick.”

Full report:

“at Varnum and Kansas Ave NW; across from the cafe
A man was detained, handcuffed behind his back and ultimately arrested

at first 2 MPD officers and 2 HS officers in vests then ultimately 9 officers altogether on 1 handcuffed man

it is his birthday today, according to his friends, working at the cafe across the street and he was “drinking something” one of hte officers said. And they were teasing him.

a few things–he wasn’t resisting. 9 officers on 1 man.
Porchfest is in one day where hundreds of people will be “drinking something” on the sidewalks

I’m sickened. Sick sick sick.”
