Last week, every #MNmedia outlet ran with a faux outrage story about the new Community Safety Commissioner Cedric Alexander @Calex_law basically telling a couple of loudmouth agitators to STFU over their complaints about some empty squad cars parked in #MplsDowntown.

Every👏Single👏#MNmedia👏Outlet👏 that reported on this nothing-burger story failed to tell you that the main agitator Cedric Alexander was responding to is a whiney defund/abolish police proponent whom he shouldn't even have bothered to respond to in the first place.

Last year, the above loudmouth agitator was one of several people who submitted a letter to the Star Tribune in support of every 'defund police' city council candidate.

Yet, the @StarTribune couldn't be bothered to include that not unimportant tidbit in last week's article.

The suspect was found unconscious inside the business laying in their own vomit around 6:30 a.m.

Plot twist. The 911 caller said that he took down a board from when it was boarded earlier, and the unconscious person inside was the manager from a neighboring restaurant.🤔

Rescue was cleared from the scene by EMS, but the status of the person who was inside is unclear.
