Reading the WSJ is always a scary experience, but this morning, it was particularly scary . . .
Mostly, I was surprised by this statement about the Halloween weekend coming from the Public Information Officer for the City of Madison:
“We’re excited about it,” Madison police spokesman Mike Hanson said Thursday. “This is something we have planned for so many months, and now it’s time to play ball.”
Play ball? Is this a game? Are they trying to defeat the other team? I wonder how hard they’re willing to play and if they’ll try to win at all costs?
Sorry, but that’s a really crappy way to describe the police department attitude going into this controversial weekend. Perhaps is was a simple mistake . . . but I’m afraid it reveals a more disturbing truth . . .
