Why does this seem more like "Girl, Interrupted" than violence interrupted — or anything like actual crime prevention?
Taxpayer Philanthropy: Minneapolis ‘violence interrupter’ founder’s pay tripled The substantial salary came in a year in which Minneapolis leaders approved a big increase in annual funding to his nonprofit to about $1.5 million, according to city records.

WATCH: State auditor candidate Zack Filipovich struggles to respond when called out by opponent Scott Jensen Jensen noted that Filipovich worked for an accounting firm whose owner swindled $235,000 from the Duluth Area Chamber of Commerce. Filipovich worked for Eagle Accounting from 2013-2019; court documents say the owner's criminal activity occurred from 2017-2019. Filipovich: "I am talk ... I'm talking in in general and um, you know, that, that you're talking about um, you brought that up." Jensen: "I'm talking about the guy who hired you." Filipovich: "It's clear you don't know how an accounting office works because I was working on different projects." Jensen: "Down the hall from him." Filipovich: *chuckles*

If St. Thomas has "a responsibility to provide a welcoming environment," then "CUNT" must mean "welcome" —or is there a sociolinguistic renaissance the rest of us missed...? @UofStThomasMN
Minnesota media rushes to smear St. Thomas student, ignores vile history of left-wing provocateur Derek Torstenson, a well-known left-wing activist and frequent protester, was shouting and reportedly holding a sign displaying the word "CUNT," details largely missing from subsequent media coverage of the St. Thomas student's viral response to Torstenson.

Another fine example of a well executed "run-and-hide" media strategy...
Hey @kare11, while you’re at it, this “community leader” has been awfully quiet since our story… Look into CAIR-Minnesota’s Executive Director. He hasn’t had much to say much about Somali gang violence this week. alphanews.org/exclusive-cair…

This is the Minnesota that Democrats are proud of. Criminals are so emboldened by the promise of no consequences that they commit organized crimes en masse, openly and without fear.

An important perspective and proof that "editorial integrity" is a theory — not a practice...
/THREAD Over 33+ years of practicing law, I have been fortunate to have many clients in high-profile cases. I can state unequivocally that over my career, no media outlet has been more unfair than the @startribune—especially about law enforcement. The latest has been spewed by “reporter” Josie Albertson-Grove. Because her X/Twitter username is @josie_strib, I’ll use her preferred name, “Josie.”

Once upon a time, back when social outrage demanded "zero tolerance"... #NotHer
Full report reveals St. Paul mayor's unwanted touching, sexual meme and multiple policy violations Investigators substantiated three workplace policy violations and confirmed that Mayor Kaohly Her's unwanted touching caused Police Chief Axel Henry considerable discomfort. His attorney called the city's initial two-page summary a taxpayer-funded "whitewash."

Another example of false reporting. St. Paul's HR director did a summary of the investigation that we've already proven was false.

Explanations welcome...
BREAKING: St. Paul police chief sues Mayor Kaohly Her, alleges sexual harassment and retaliation The lawsuit alleges Her twice touched Chief Axel Henry's upper thigh, referred to herself as a "MILF," made sexually suggestive remarks and created altered photos depicting police officials shirtless with "prominent bulges" in their crotch areas. "Chief Henry knew that if he altered a photograph to place a woman’s image, let alone the Mayor of St. Paul, to replace the face of a female bodybuilder wearing a bikini, he would be immediately terminated," the complaint states.
