be counterfeit. Honestly, if I passed a counterfeit note, I wouldn't know how to explain that.

The most counterfeited note is the $20 bill, which was at the center of the situation that we are talking about. It seems to me that the proper way for the police to handle the situation would have been to handcuff the guy and put him in the back of a cruiser while they investigated. There were four cops around, I don't see why one of them could not have done that. But the information coming out on the Minneapolis police force is not comforting, to say the least, apparently it has a lot of roguish cops in it's ranks.

Maybe he was still there because he did not know it was fake. That would be the obvious. This is the LizBeth May 2020 #7
