The outrageous conduct of Jon Gurban and Bob Fine as they tried to intimidate Jason Stone underscores the bullying tactics both men employ to get their way. That they did so in such a public forum and with so many witnesses is, in a bizarre way, a public service since it focuses public scrutiny on a Superintendent and a commissioner who were clearly way, way out of bounds!
What is especially troubling is that the Park Police, normally as solid and fair minded group of people you could ever meet, were being used by Mr. Gurban and Mr. Fine simply to intimidate Jason Stone and not enforce any law. They were put in an impossible position. Not only do Mr. Gurban and Mr. Fine owe and apology to Jason Stone and the citizens of Minneapolis, they owe an apology to the Park Police as well for using them as they did.
