  • Commissioner, Michelle Turnberg

    If there were a minus star, that would be my rating of this episode. I chose 1 for the sake of an actual rating. A stark contrast to the "point" you were supposedly getting at all episode long; which was how does the commissioner plan to get rid of the homeless in Fargo. I was only left to assume that was your point, since you asked one sided questions as if the commissioner has total control and/or authority to rid the city of their homeless population. Newsflash: The taxpayers have no more or ... more

I was a Deputy US Marshal for 26 years and this incident was a crucial part of the hist... more
