The Duluth News Tribune reports that Duluth Police respond in large numbers to an incident at Woodland Hills, citing a “riot” and arresting residents, even though the director of the facility said no such riot happened.
Impact: Although the facility director insisted there was no riot, police charged at least one of the residents with inciting a riot. This further contributes to the perception that the police do not have a good working understanding of what constitutes a riot.
