Speaking of history, I was talking to my Uncle today and he relayed this little known story (as far as I am concerned) to me…I had a couple of family history questions and he brought this up out of the blue.MDlaxfan76 wrote: ↑Mon Dec 26, 2022 5:41 pm Uh ohhh, more "history is being erased":

Former Minneapolis police officer Justin Stetson charged with assaulting Jaleel Stallings in 2020
https://www.cbsnews.com/minnesota/news/ ... s-in-2020/
MINNEAPOLIS – Attorney General Keith Ellison charged a former Minneapolis police officer Wednesday with beating a man during protests over George Floyd's death.
Justin Stetson, 34, faces one felony count of third-degree assault in connection with the May 30, 2020, beating of Jaleel Stallings. He would face up to five years in prison if convicted.
It wasn't immediately clear whether Stetson has an attorney. A Minneapolis city attorney who represented him and other officers in a federal lawsuit Stallings filed against them didn't immediately respond to an email inquiring if she knew if Stetson has a criminal defense attorney.
According to the criminal complaint, Stetson was among a group of officers enforcing a city-wide curfew that night when his group spotted four people in a parking lot. One of them was Stallings.
Get the hanging tree for that bassturd.

Racist cop restored to his old job in Minneapolis:
Former Hennepin County Sheriff David Hutchinson reinstated at Metro Transit PD
https://www.fox9.com/news/former-hennep ... transit-pd
After a controversial final year in office sparked by a drunk driving arrest that uncovered other alleged misconduct, former Hennepin County Sheriff David Hutchinson is already back at his old job with Metro Transit.
FOX 9 is told Hutchinson has returned to his old job at Metro Transit Police Department as a sergeant, where he served before becoming sheriff. Under state law, people who are elected to office are allowed the opportunity to return to their job after serving.
Hutchinson filed paperwork before he left Metro Transit that allowed him to return. Sources within Metro Transit Police tell FOX 9's Tom Lyden they "are furious we had to hire him."
Hutchinson is on administrative leave because of an internal complaint from within Metro Transit Police stemming from his behavior as Hennepin County Sheriff.
FOX 9 is told that if Hutchinson keeps his job with Metro Transit – a big if – he'll make $114,000, a pay raise of $23,000 from when he left his job at Metro Transit. That is because of a union agreement and state law requires him to return "at the same salary, which would have been received if the leave had not been taken."
Hutchinson returned from his leave of absence on January 2 and was placed on administrative leave the next day.
FOX 9 has reported over the past year-plus the multiple controversies Hutchinson has faced since his drunk driving arrest in December 2021.
Along with being convicted in the DWI case, FOX 9 uncovered Hutchinson was accused of creating a hostile work environment which included Hutchinson reportedly sending racist and homophobic text messages. Hutchinson was censured by the Hennepin County Board of Commissioners following a human resources investigation and suspended by the state POST board for 30 days related to the drunk driving crash and other issues.
Despite the swirling controversy, Hutchinson served out the remainder of his term on medical leave but didn't run for re-election. Newly-elected Sheriff Dawanna Witt took over in Hennepin County earlier this month.
Back to the DWI crash, Hutchinson pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor, avoiding more serious charges, for driving above the legal limit at speeds up to 125 miles per hour on I-94 near Alexandria.
Anybody else would have been canned for good. Lucky bassturd.

Resignation Demanded After Wisconsin GOP Official Boasts of Suppressing Black, Hispanic Vote
"It is incredibly racist to brag about lowering Black and Brown turnout, it is also unacceptable to have these comments and views held by an election official," said one advocacy group.
https://www.commondreams.org/news/bob-spindell
Voting rights advocates in Wisconsin on Thursday called on a far-right conspiracy theorist and member of the state's election authority to resign following revelations that he boasted about suppressing Black and Brown Milwaukee voters during last year's midterms.
Urban Milwaukee first reported that Bob Spindell, chairman of the 4th Congressional District GOP and a member of the Wisconsin Elections Committee (WEC), gloated in an email to thousands of Republicans that "we can be especially proud of the city of Milwaukee (80.2% Dem Vote) casting 37,000 less votes than cast in the 2018 election, with the major reduction happening in the overwhelming (sic) Black and Hispanic areas."
"From participating in a criminal conspiracy to overturn the 2020 election results, to now boasting about the suppression of votes from people of color, Spindell clearly cannot be trusted to fairly and adequately carry out a position directly related to the integrity of the Wisconsin election system."
Spindell explained that "this great and important decrease in Democrat votes in the city" was due to a "well thought out multifaceted plan," which included negative ads targeting Black voters, Republican lawsuits that increased voting restrictions, and an effort to convince Democratic voters to stay home on Election Day.
"While this is incredibly disturbing, we are not surprised by this recent revelation of additional Republican tactics used for voter suppression," the political action group Black Leaders Organizing for Communities (BLOC) said in response to Spindell's email. "Many of us have been sounding the alarm about how sinister voter suppression tactics have become, and Spindell's comments reinforce what we already knew."
"It is incredibly racist to brag about lowering Black and Brown turnout, it is also unacceptable to have these comments and views held by an election official," BLOC added. "We join calls from various grassroots partners... to rescind Spindell's appointment to the Wisconsin Election Commission."
Chris Walloch, executive director of A Better Wisconsin Together, a progressive research hub, tied Spindell's email to the official's support for former President Donald Trump's "Big Lie" about the last presidential election.
"There's no easier way to put it—Spindell is a Trump faction conspiracy theorist who has actively tried to sabotage and influence the outcome of Wisconsin elections based upon his own partisan bias," Walloch said in a statement.
"From participating in a criminal conspiracy to overturn the 2020 election results, to now boasting about the suppression of votes from people of color, Spindell clearly cannot be trusted to fairly and adequately carry out a position directly related to the integrity of the Wisconsin election system," Walloch added. "Wisconsinites deserve better, and we are demanding better."
Spindell was already a controversial figure. A prominent purveyor of Trump's "Big Lie," he was one of 10 fake Republican electors who plotted to fraudulently hand Trump a second White House term.
"The comments Commissioner Spindell made are not only egregious, they are the antithesis to what a true democracy is all about," Samuel Liebert, the Wisconsin state director for the advocacy group All Voting Is Local, said in a statement. "Nobody should be celebrating the disenfranchisement of Wisconsin voters, least of all an election official serving on the Wisconsin Elections Commission."
"The targeting of Black and Brown voters and the rejoicing over tens of thousands of us casting fewer ballots than in previous elections is alarming and leaves little doubt that barriers to the ballot and the spreading of disinformation regarding voting and elections have specifically been implemented and utilized to prevent us from voting," he continued.
"No matter our color, background, or zip code, most Wisconsinites believe that voters pick our leaders, our leaders do not pick their voters," Liebert added. "Elections officials, such as those serving on the WEC, should deliver the promise of American democracy to all, regardless of party affiliation."
Wisconsin RepubliCONs. Is anyone surprised? McCarthy's evils live on.

Re: Is America a racist nation?
mmm, that's about as clear a proof of willful intent to suppress voting on the basis of race that I've seen.
But you're right, it shouldn't be a surprise, as there's a heck of a lot of this happening, just usually with protagonists not so stupid as to say it out loud, much less to put it in writing.
The "smart" people are no less perniciously anti-democracy. Just not dumb.

Re: Is America a racist nation?
Here in Lake Wobegone some folks would laugh at the thought of certain Wisconsinites as being "smart". They put down the Cheesehead state more often than New Yorkers put down Jersey. But it is true, there has been much vote suppression there with (not surprisingly) very little commentary or objection from the far right.

Crappy stereotyping that isn't all that funny and hasn't been for quite some time. Not to mention, mostly inaccurate and inane.
