doesn’t look good for the cops.

It doesn't look good for the bank that employs the security guard. From other information in the article it seems the bank is improperly claiming the skyway as its own. They wouldn't even allow photography there.

Given the circumstances I believe the police had grounds to make a temporary detention.

agree with your first point, not so sure on the second. the police should know the scoop inre: private versus public areas and marked vs,. unmarked spaces.

the bank sure seems to be in deep doo-doo. IF we’re being given all the info

Well, that’s why some places have laws against loitering. Like I said, I don’t the particulars of the situation. If it was a public area, then the guy shouldn’t have been forced to move. If it was a private area, as some have claimed, then different laws apply.

Its private property, not city

Some crow for you to eat.

St. Paul man arrested in skyway was in public area, city prosecutor says

I hope it goes well with the taste of kiwi and leather.

I'm not sure I wouldn't be as angry about it as he was.
