  • 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

Why not interview the survivors of US Marshal Muir and Deputy US Marshal Cheshire? See how this incident affected them. These men were sworn law enforcement officers with an arrest warrant for Gordon Kahl. It was there duty to try to arrest him. It was an ongoing case. I was a Deputy US Marshal for 26 years and this incident was a crucial part of the hist... more
