Whoever is the only person to not vote for Ichiro — turn in your BBWAA card immediately. What a joke. How could you look at his career and not think he’s an HOFer??

For the record, the media didn’t invent this divide. But when one of the candidates champions skepticism and violence against the media, can you really blame them, as humans, for adopting an us vs. them mentality?

Wild night last night ended peacefully as Sawchak was taken into custody. If I may editorialize a bit: @MinneapolisPD did an impressive (albeit tardy) job of seeking every possible avenue to avoid violence. I wish that approach was used in every case.

Things have ground to a halt and I’ve been keeping and eye on this thing for 8 hours, so I’m going to bail out. Follow and subscribe to your local news sources, folks, they keep people like me employed!

Heard a few “wooo”s from the MPD crew in the back alley, but I can hear work continuing in the front as a police vehicle works on the front of the house

@WCCO Just a small moment of levity — I really was excited for a bonfire in my backyard tonight but I guess I get to work instead. Periodic popping sounds now, singular and spaced out.

In case you’re not caught up, @WCCO did excellent reporting ahead of me on the incident:

A Minneapolis man has been charged with attempted murder after allegedly shooting his neighbor for pruning a tree he believed was on his property line, court documents show.
