Usually we highlight stories about cops having to deal with drunk and belligerent people engaging in violent and otherwise unsavory behavior. But in this story out of Minneapolis, it was the cops themselves who got trashed and caused all the problems. Shame they couldn't have made the SAFER choice... It was Police Gone Wild in Minneapolis last week after a police department softball team got a little too wild and starting tearing up the town.
Now the Minneapolis Police Department's internal affairs is
investigating the incident after their excessive drinking allegedly led
to threats and brawls on the streets.
According to FOX9 (via SOTC)
the softball game took place at Northeast Park last Tuesday after
Minneapolis firefighters. When the off-duty cops arrived at the Double
Deuce strip club in their softball uniforms, the owner said they were
too drunk and wouldn't let them inside. When they were refused entrance, things went downhill fast. More from FOX9: The owner says the officers even started flashing their
badges, trying to intimidate the bouncer. And in retaliation, one of
the officers allegedly urinated on the club's wall. The incident was
caught on video.
With closing time nearing, the team went to Mayslak's Bar a
few blocks away. The owner and staff told FOX 9, the officers picked a
couple of fights and told patrons no one could stop them because they
were all cops.
Outside the bar, one of the cops allegedly assaulted a man, who was passing by, after he tried to break up one of those fights.
