That article says that Minneapolis has a population of 82,000. Brooklyn Park has about that (or maybe 86,000 or 79,000, thanks, intrusive stupid AI), but that's not what it says. Maybe this story takes place in the alternate universe where Minneapolis was burned to the ground in 2020, in which case, 82,000 isn't half bad.

Good catch

I think their syntax got away with them and nobody checked.

Yes, it looks like a tragic high-speed collision of two different versions of the sentence.

As for the crash, I'm glad the person in the house got out, but YIKES.

I gather US Bank executives were involved.
