First, what in the hell is a mayor doing at a "club" at 2:30 in the morning? Was he out fighting crime? I'll bet he was nice and sober.Akron police and Mayor Don Plusquellic are hurling accusations at each other after they tangled outside a downtown nightclub early Sunday.
The union charged Monday that the mayor was slurring his words, was abusive to officers and interfered with an investigation of a large fight that Plusquellic had witnessed after he had been out drinking.
Meanwhile, Plusquellic said he was upset that he was placed on hold twice when calling 911, a responding officer was arrogant and disrespectful, and police failed to pursue vital witnesses.
The mayor — who admitted he pestered police at the scene to interview witnesses — called the union's version a ''cock and bull story.''''What I did was vitally important to cracking this case,'' he said Monday night in a telephone interview.
Plusquellic and others called 911 around 2:30 a.m. Sunday to report a fight involving many people that had spilled outside the Lux Nightclub near West Exchange and South Main streets.
Second, Plusquellic is white, are we to assume that cops were rude to a white guy? From the Gates incident, it became clear that cops only treat black guys rudely. I don't think so.
Third, let's do this again class. Cops don't show up on the scene to listen to some drunken a-hole tell them how to do their job. When cops show up their first priority is to secure the scene. Having some douchebag tell them how to do their job does not enhance that effort. You'd think this mayor would know that. But then again, he's a middle aged hack trying to get his freak on with some young honey at a club.
