A man coughed on a grocery store employee in Moorhead while blaming racial minorities for the spread of the coronavirus, police said.

The incident early Wednesday afternoon at Cash Wise Foods on Hwy. 10 briefly landed the man in jail on suspicion of disorderly conduct as well as for allegedly threatening an officer who arrested him, said Police Capt. Deric Swenson.

The suspect has refused to give police his name, and authorities have yet to otherwise determine his identity, Swenson said late Thursday morning.


I hope he is from Fargo or a Minnesotan transplant.

How about if he just gave his C-D posting handle?

So, if you're politically incorrect, you can be arrested for coughing. But, if you're politically correct and burn downtown, that's OK?

Apples and oranges comparison and a false dichotomy. In the first case, the fellow resisted arrest, coughed on someone, and refused to give an ID. All three are potentially offenses based on the circumstances of the potential crime (read up on laws pertaining to AIDS virus and stop and identify laws if your knowledge is lacking in these areas). So, I am unaware where political correctness plays apart in this unless you are referring to the racist statements of offender. People are currently being arrested for burning down buildings

More are sure to be arrested and rightfully so.

So, people are being arrested for arson but the leg work may take some time as they analyze videos of a very chaotic scene.
