First she is…read morereferring to hearsay from problem former clients unable to stay sober or follow a strict sober lease. Mark Thisius has run Freedom Place since founding it in 1991. If her shocking and disturbing claims were true we would not be in business for nearly 28 years. We have helped many on their path to sobriety and yes we have helped others out the door if they can't follow rules. We're fair and don't discriminate and we serve a diverse clientele. The clients from correctional facilities often have a long history of crime They are in many cases enabled by diversion programs that avoid holding many of them accountable. Many abuse drugs like methadone and cyboxin along with street drugs and have long rap sheets. The former clients who Britanny may be referring to who are co-conspirators with her fall into that category. Britanny is engaging in slander and defamation and we will take whatever legal action necessary to uphold our reputation.

It was addressed to MSRS which is an abbreviation for MN State Retirement System which is in the same building. Not only could they not bring it to the correct Suite, which is in the same building, but they opened the letter as well. My social security number, address, a blank check with bank account information was in it. Then they sent it back to me address unknown and unable to forward. This is our government at it's finest. Our Secretary of State's secretary could've been kind enough to deliver the letter considering the distance he or she had to walk. I do hope none of my information was copied or stolen.

I am a senior female of color and have been treated with great respect fortunately. This past summer two men were heard yelling at one another one morning with the result of one getting stabbed, yes at 10 am behind our garages ( 1880's house converted into 4 rentals). The perpetrator ran away from the victim right up our driveway. And our neighbor who witnessed everything called the police who arrived in minutes. The second incident was at our post office near highway 52 on a boiling June day this summer of 90 degrees. A Mexican mother ran into the post office at 5 pm yelling to borrow a cell phone speaking only Spanish I speak fluent Spanish and asked her why and she said she must call her husband ( rush hour) to come with the keys for her 2 year old child was locked in the car. I quickly told her in Spanish, no time, we must call the police who CAME in less than 5 minutes of my call. The child had passed out was sweating to an extreme her tiny body was very hot after he immediately got the door open. I told the mother to please take the child out bring her inside the cool post office give her water and the mother REFUSED. So I quickly informed the officer, he felt the child and agreed and insisted the mother remove and cool her down. He was truly kind patient calm respectful of us all. The child was SO hot... I think she had left her in the car windows all closed while she had gone into the post office .......

I am always nervous each time I meet any Police officer though sometimes I pretend not to be. But…read moretoday, 8/12/2024 I was at Children's hospital and got lost going to the Pharmacy with my grand baby and ended up into the cafeteria. There was a Police officer at the end of the line closer to me but I skipped him and looked at the person in front of him and asked him to direct me to the Pharmacy. The person did not hear me but this officer kindly directed me to the Pharmacy. He actually had to explain a couple of times the directions. It was not too far but listening to an officer was just nerve wrecking. Anyway, after the visit to the Pharmacy I went to thank the officer and I don't know if he knew that I was nervous but he carried a good conversation with me, taking the fear of unknown away from me. When leaving I asked for his name and he just said Chris, like some local, regular person, but I asked for his last name, and then he just handed me his business card. When I was in the car heading home, I looked at the card and it said "Commander" under his name Christopher Kasal. I almost melted, he was not even just a regular officer but a Commander. I was talking to a Commander yo'all! Oh Wow! What a humble human being. He actually treated me like some important person for real!. Thank you very much Commander Kasal and St. Paul Police for having people like him in your department.

I've never been around so many people with so little respect for people in custody. Also, who in their right mind serves breakfast at 4:30AM and lunch at 10:30? Doesn't make the day go by faster. They also set me up with a public defender for my first court appearance who was in no way helpful, and now I am currently having to work through that. The one star could come from the two nice individuals who I did encounter; the mental health officer and the judge were decent, as well as the officer who brought me in. As for the rest, if you feel the need to break the law in any form, TRY your best to go across the river to Hennepin.
