Could anyone point me to the article posted here about the Minnesota man who was tased and arrested after refusing to show ID to police in skywalk, while waiting for his kids to get out of school? A friend posted the video (linked from another video, not an article) on fb to demonstrate the problems facing many citizens in encounters with police. His douchebag friend commented that it would have bee fine if he'd just shown ID "...just saying."
I responded with a short novel. But I wanted to link that article and can't find it. I did see there's newly (since discussed here) release surveillance videos cued up with his cell phone video. I didn't watch yet. I'll go find and post it.
(ETA: I know there's a comment somewhere in my past posts but I have yet to find it. I just typed the search term in my browser bar and came up with the above since I'm inherently lazy but intrinsically "helpful" at times.)

I looked via proboards search and google, but I didn't think I found the original I saw here. I think there's a thanksgiving truce over on fb after op called his douche friend a sheep and then douche friend tagged him in some mlk video I couldn't see, so op finally said this is too big to deal with on fb or on a holiday. I'm not about to poke the douchey bear again, as I don't want it to ruin op's holiday having to fend off his douche friend online all day.
If anyone runs across the original post, let me know for future reference. I don't think I commented in that thread.
