**Warning - Rough Language

You shouldn’t say the following things if you are drunk, a City-County Councilor, and have just said, “Do you know who I am!??!”: The following is a summary of the police report. You can verify this by reading the police report here. (Not edited for language. Names of other suspects, DOB, Addresses, and other sensitive information edited out.)

Three IMPD officers have arrived at a west side residence. They see Doris Minton-McNeil in the front yard.

”I’ve got a pedophile in my house, and I just want him out! You need to go in and get him out!” McNeil yelled. Before entering a house to arrest someone that had a knife, the police wisely wanted to know whom they were chasing. The Councilor became indignant.

“That Mother F^&ker is a pedophile, and I called him out on it! And he got a knife, and he tried to cut me!” She then approached one of the officers, who had not yet spoken to her.

“You are an arrogant Mother F&%ker, and so is he,” McNeil yelled. She walked to another officer and stated, “I’ll talk to him, because he’s the only one not being arrogant.” The officer pressed her for more information on the pedophile. She started yelling again.

“You’re arrogant, and I don’t like you. You ain’t here to help me. You are a racist Mother F%$ker like all the rest!” She then asked, “What district are you from?!” She began asking for their Major, or Commanding Officer. They then searched the house, finding no one. They asked her where he was, and she yelled again.

“You Mother F%$kers are going to get this guy out of my house!” They continued wandering through the house, and she kept asking about their superiors. The officers could not find anyone. Without provocation, McNeil started yelling angrily again.

“You guys are a bunch of racist Mother F%$kers! You ain’t here to help!” Councilor McNeil wandered to the back of the house, while the officers were in the front of the house. She began yelling, so the officers ran back to check on her. When they reached her, she was fine. She was fumbling around with her City-Council business cards. She tried to give them to the officers. She became irate when the officers refused the cards. McNeil pushed the first officer in the chest that had refused her card. The officer (Officer Emily Perkins) fell, and hit her hand on the side of the house. The other two officers ran to Officer Perkin’s assistance. McNeil was ordered to put her hands behind her back.

“No! You can’t arrest me! I’m on the City-County Council.” McNeil began to yell out the names of city officials that the officers needed to contact. (Wouldn’t you love to hear that list? Leave guesses in the comments.) McNeil resisted being cuffed. She twisted her body, and moved her arms, to avoid being cuffed.

“All the white officers on this f%$kin department are racists!” McNeill yelled. “I’m not going to be arrested.” She then tried to break free again, causing her to be put in wrist restraints. She continued to yell about various city officials that should be contact. The officer assured her that their supervisors were on the way.

The officers smelled booze. Asked if she had been drinking, she replied, “I haven’t been drinking, I’ve only had two margaritas.” She asked to take a breath test. When the officer presented her with the test, she changed her mind.

“I changed my mind. I ain’t taking no test cause I ain’t drunk. “

She was loaded in to the wagon, and taken to lock-up. The report says that when she was taken out of the wagon, she “had urinated in her pants, and in the wagon.”

–30-

After reading this, is there any way that she can continue on the council? A lesson for all of those in public service: You are here to serve the public. We are not here to serve you, and you are not superior to those you serve.
