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."

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.
