http://blogs.citypages.com/blotter/2011/08/antiwar_protester_fbi_building_bike_stolen.php The guys who walk around downtown Minneapolis in yellow jackets aren't police officers.
They're private employees working for a non-profit, Minneapolis Downtown Improvement District, and their job is to help make downtown "cleaner, safer, greener and better in order to achieve a more vital and vibrant downtown." They're called "ambassadors," and according to DID are supposed to be the "friendly faces" of the city.
But you wouldn't know it from watching a video of two DID "ambassadors" harassing an anti-war protestor who was chalking the sidewalk in front of the FBI building on Friday night. The ambassador came up and snatched her bike, claiming it had been "abandoned," threatened her for "defacing public property," and said he could have her arrested for cursing.
The unfriendly ambassador puts her bike into his truck at the start of the tape, recorded by anti-war activist Melissa Hill.

What an unbelievable ass. Sounds like he's got a cop complex.
