OK, that’s not really what Minneapolis Mayor Betsy Hodges had to say in response to Police Federation President Bob Kroll’s comments supporting off-duty police officers who refused to work security at a Minnesota Lynx WNBA contest over the weekend. Kroll, who considers shirts bearing the caption, “Change Starts With Us” some sort of implicit threat to law enforcement, has played the “false narrative” card (apparently Philando Castile is alive and well and is simply keeping a low profile in order to smear the police), but not without adding that only 4 officers were required to work the game because, “the Lynx are such a pathetic draw.”
For whatever it’s worth, Saturday’s win over the Dallas Wings had an announced attendance of more than 7,000, which is probably more people than you’d get for a Trip Shakespeare reunion or a Jesse Ventura performance of this song.
