Arizona AG Pleads No Contest To Leaving The Scene Of An Accident

Yup, looks like my representative, Karen Clark, voted for the bill:

Minnesota set to allow gay marriage after House approves bill

"My family knew first-hand that same-sex couples pay our taxes, we vote, we serve in the military, we take care of our kids and our elders and we run businesses in Minnesota," said the bill's sponsor, Karen Clark, a Minneapolis Democrat who is gay. "Same-sex couples should be treated fairly under the law, including the freedom to marry the person we love."

Two cops shot, shooter dead

Five blocks from home. Been a long time since anybody's been shot on the corner.

Ittsa Blue Light Special!

Going on just across Lyndale. Wall of police cars. They towed a car out of the apartment building on the NW corner of Harriet and 28th Street. Cop car followed the tow truck. Not sure if it indicates anything. Thought about taking a picture about the time the tow truck and the cop car disappeared down 27th Street. Shooter dead. Two cops shot, and the motorcyclist the cops hit dead at 26th & Blaisdell.

I took Lake Street down to Harriet tonight rather than trying to shoot 27th Street from Nicollet. The route was clear. I could see the cop cars on 28th across Lyndale.

I'd rather Mpls finest not take out motorcyclists. It's bad for the insurance and their reputation, not to mention being kind of hard on motorcyclists. I guess having a couple of cops shot riles 'em up a wee bit.

Have not heard what the car/pedestrian chase was all about. I'm just hoping it was something serious. Not sure a "traffic stop" should account for two dead and two wounded.

2 Minneapolis officers shot, suspect dead

If you're going on 35W & 94 through Mpls this weekend

Please check the traffic. Parts are closed to work on the Park & Portland bridges. My expectations are a clusterfuck of huge proportions. (I also expect to remember this warning three minutes after I drive down an entrance ramp, but that's another story.)
