I’ve learned over recent years....when cops tend to get into trouble while off-duty....it’s typically because they were looking for trouble. This episode has a smell to it. Green Bay just isn’t a place where you’d go to have a four-star evening or beers with your buddies, unless you lived in Green Bay. So yeah, I’d not in belief of a couple of innocent out-of-town off-duty cops getting beat on by a mob.
After reading the story in its entirety all so can say is that the journalist who wrote the story did a horrible job. He obviously ommitted many key facts about where it happened, the events that led to it, what it was about, etc...its almost as if the journalist was drunk or high when he wrote it. The article jumps all over the place without any context. I’m guessing the officers were in a bar, might have had a little too much to drink and someone offended the other and somone dropped the N word.
So they drove 4 1/2 hours to start trouble in Green Bay? What, they couldn't find some place in Minneapolis to do that? They were probably just wearing some Viking gear.
