I am very upset at the treatment I received by a contract security person at the Bloomington ice rink this past Saturday. While I understand the need to limit or prevent outside food and beverages from being brought into the arena prior to the playing of hockey games, I felt that I was harassed and spoken to in a demeaning and bullying manner, one of the contract security personnel and that the manner in which I was addressed was not only unprofessional, but openly hostile. I am a 58 year old father of one of the players on one of the teams, who (without realizing the policy) was entering the arena with one-third of a home made sandwich that I was finishing. I was stopped and told “no outside food or beverage” was allowed. I replied “seriously? This is a third of a sandwich I’m about to finish. My son is on the team and I want to see him warm up”. I was told “no outside food”, so I left, finished my sandwich, and return. Upon entrance, a second time I was told “open up your jacket”, which felt like I was being accused of trying to smuggle another 1/6th of a sandwich in. My “jacket” was a fleece sweater, and I protested a second time and said “No, I’m not going to do that”, the security guard I have the issue with, proceeded in a very disrespectful and unprofessional manner, to grandstand and make negative comments about the HAT I was wearing, and approached me in an aggressive and grand-standing manner. It was humiliating, intimidating, disrespectful, escalated the situation, and was totally beyond what was called for. I came to realize that the rink requires the hockey team to PAY FOR THE SERVICES OF THIS UNPROFESSIONAL AND THUGGISH service. Additionally, I noted a desecrated American flag on the shoulder of the individual I am speaking of (one used by “Stop the steal” right wing extremists and militia, as a means to self-identify and threaten and intimidate law-abiding citizens who respect our government and the institutions so many have foyluhjt and died for. I don’t have a problem with what this individual does and says in their own, private life, but when hires and paid for as an extension of a city government agency, such a display has NO PLACE AND SHOULD BE (IF NOT ALREADY) PROHIBITED. If you are going to force a university club team to pay for a security service, that service should provide a minimal level of professionalism. The whole experience ruined my chance to se MY SONS game, and still causes me distress. A public apology by the individual, as well as a public statement indicating controversial political statements will not be tolerated , by the individual’s management, combined with refunding the team 1/2 the cost of that days security expenses should be provided. I am tired of seeing paramilitary clad thugs running without any consequence to their intimidation and bullying type behaviors. The City of Bloomington Parks and Recreation department deserves to enjoy a reputation for unbiased and apolitical operations, and the Shield Security service employed this past Saturday fell far short of this.
Several street lights are out for awhile now on the 800 block of west Kirkwood ave. Would be great to have those back on. Thanks.
I need my service turned on immediately
Black Lives Matter is a terrorist organization. They vandalized People’s Park with an illegal Mural to promote their racist agenda.
I'm trying to combine five separate complaints into one, as they are similar in nature (improperly parked scooters on sidewalks) and they're likely to forwarded to the legal department anyway. So I figured I would batch them up. I think each of the five photos show a scooter that should cause the city to cite and fine the company under city code. If they're not cited and fined, I would like an explanation within a reasonable time why they're not being cited and fined. Here's the five photos by file name, with time, date, and specific location: 20211123_072235.jpg On 2021-11-23 at 07:22:35 39° 10' 15.63" N 86° 32' 0.462" W 20211123_072614.jpg On 2021-11-23 at 07:26:14 39° 10' 17.916" N 86° 32' 0.12" W 20211123_072815.jpg On 2021-11-23 at 07:28:15 39° 10' 25.134" N 86° 32' 0.624" W 20211123_083413.jpg On 2021-11-23 at 08:34:13 39° 10' 35.352" N 86° 32' 5.478" W 20211123_084830.jpg On 2021-11-23 at 08:48:30 39° 10' 6.372" N 86° 32' 5.58" W If the interface doesn't allow me to add four more photos after I hit [Submit] I'll try something different. Thanks.
I think the scooter shown in the image improperly parked on a sidewalk in violation of the city of Bloomington's local law. If the company is not cited and fined, I'd like to receive an explanation for the reason why not within a reasonable time.
