A parent sent us this copy of a newsletter received by her 6th & 7th graders at Justice Page Middle School @JPMSSTEAM in #Mpls at 50th and Nicollet Ave S.
She's concerned about the messaging to this grade level and the fact that it wasn't sent to parents.
.
.
At the bottom of the newsletter:
"The Rhino Report is a publication of @MPS_News, not Justice Page Middle School."
3/ A follower pointed out to us that the use of the word "Toolkit" is used by higher level protest organizations and wonders who's really influencing this kind of messaging.
4/ Let's pull out some specifics from the newsletter. These messages are being directed at ages 12-13:
"Wear nondescript clothing. Even if you aren’t breaking the law, law enforcement may still try to come after you, in these situations it’s better to be paranoid than careless"
5/ Don't post people causing property damage 🙄
"You’re free to document things with your phone, but please don’t post anything with people’s faces/identifying information in them, especially if it’s someone doing art/graffiti."
6/ This, plain and simple, is fearmongering. In what case would a 12-13 year old student at a protest in #MPLS ever be held for 48 hours??? Never.
.
7/ The first sentence is false information. No charges have been filed. This has not been determined to be a "murder." This is narrative indoctrination by @MPS_News and @JPMSSTEAM.
.
8/ Wear protective clothing.... not 'get out of the area if danger erupts.' 🙄
9/ Giving drug and medical advice without regard to possible adverse reactions, allergies or other possible dosing interactions.
12/ The MPS social media manager messaged to clarify that this newsletter was produced by students during an afterschool Community Ed program, not by MPS as the newsletter indicates.

Hennepin County Sheriff responds to unhinged comments by Hennepin County Commissioner Marion Green this week saying she's not willing to fund the sheriff's office to do public safety.
"Today, 41 Hennepin County Police Chiefs and Mayors sent a letter to the Hennepin County Board in response to comments by Commissioner Marion Greene. In a county board meeting on Tuesday, Greene said “We are not funding the sheriff to provide public safety for Hennepin County. And, I'll reveal my cards, I'm not willing to fund the sheriff to provide public safety for Hennepin County.” That statement contradicts long-standing practice, Minnesota state law, and the public safety realities in our Hennepin County communities. Letter below."

OMFG!
LIES. We are being lied to.
Remember the sob story about the family with the baby getting tear gassed at the north Minneapolis riot last Wednesday, Jan. 14? They said they were just passing through the area on the way home from their son's basketball game.
NO! Here they are on video at the riot NEARLY 45 MINUTES before the flash bang struck their car.
These still images are from loser Jonathan Mason's video that night at about 8:30-8:45 p.m.
The tear gas call with the baby was dispatched at 9:22 p.m. THEY LEFT THEIR EFFING KIDS IN THE CAR AT A RIOT and the baby nearly died.
2/ These lying losers, Destiny and Shawn Jackson, have raised almost $200,000 after leaving their infant to nearly die along with their other five kids while they stood around at a riot.
