false arrest suit

Memorial Park District seems to be within Bellwood, Illinois. Bellwood is less than half the population of Oak Park, Berwyn and Cicero. And while Berwyn has two park districts, as far as I know, none of these larger park districts have their own security forces.

So, it seems suspect for Memorial Park District to have police.

And, shock-of-shocks, the person arrested under allegedly improper circumstances was a local political candidate.

It sure makes campaigning easier when you can call out your private police force to arrest the opposition.

But you can make your own call. See the Melrose Park Herald (John Huston).
