Ramsey County Sheriff Bob Fletcher was accosted by a group of young people Thursday during his popular “Live on Patrol” show.
Among the insults were: “You stupid b***h,” “I hope you die,” “You dirty ass, dumbass b***h,” “Go suck some more d***,” and “I hope you die, b***h.”
“That’s Bob Fletcher, bro,” said one of the kids. Fletcher later explained they were likely upset because Ramsey County deputies arrested their friends for auto theft.
“They’re friends of people that we’ve arrested in these stolen cars. They know that we’re out there arresting them in Kias and Hyundais on a regular basis. Our [carjacking and auto theft] team has done an amazing job and that’s the thanks we get from their friends,” he said.
“There’s no sense in confronting them in any way verbally because that’s what they’re looking for,” he added.
The sheriff said this kind of interaction is a routine occurrence for metro police officers.
“This is what the police are up against. That happens on a daily basis to officers throughout the metropolitan area. You’re driving down the street, doing your job, a group of three young people run up to you and just tell you to die,” he explained. “Sadly, that’s how we know we’re making success and putting people in jail for committing crime when their friends confront us.”
Fletcher joked about the incident and said it doesn’t bother him anymore after 40 years in law enforcement. But he did say it’s one of the reasons agencies struggle to recruit new officers.
Earlier this summer, a video captured a group of toddlers as they hit and cursed at Minneapolis police officers who were executing a search warrant in St. Paul.
“I hope you’ll share this video just so your friends can see the type of abuse that law enforcement officers deal with. Honestly it’s not just me. It’s officers throughout the metro area,” Fletcher said.

The entire neighborhood of ferals should be sterilized.
So these kids sound like they have a great future in rap no matter what their demographic.
Amish kids l’m sure.
“Fletcher later explained they were likely upset because Ramsey County deputies arrested their friends for auto theft.”
They are just getting their reparations. So what it the big deal?
These kids have obviously been influenced by Trump and MAGA Republicans. That’s why they have no respect for the law. Joe Biden and Joy Reid and Joe Scarborough told me so.
Ramsey’s obvious question to them should be, “Shouldn’t car thieves be arrested?”
Lawlessness and hell have enslaved most of this generation.
They live short and violent lives only to wake up to damnation.
Pretty pathetic existence!!!
“There’s no sense in confronting them in any way verbally because that’s what they’re looking for,”
Barbara Billingsly was great.
I guess the dad was a queer.
Oh well.
“You’re driving down the street, doing your job, a group of three young people run up to you and just tell you to die . . .”
And perhaps next time they run up as usual, but this time open fire sending slugs tearing through your car and body.
That’s why fewer men want to be police officers. And why there are fewer and fewer safe places to live in America.
Such potty mouths!!
Who are these misbehaved children?
I grew up in Ramsey Co.
Not a good place to live anymore.
“youths”
Could you be thinking of the dad in The Brady Bunch? He certainly was gay and died of AIDS if I remember correctly.
I don’t think Hugh Beaumont was gay.

Disagree.
They come on like they have the moral high ground. Confronting with with that question puts him on the moral high ground and kicks them off their self-righteous high horse.
I read that he was. Maybe not. Hope not.
Only a little bit better than Hennepin...
I’m out of words that won’t get me suspended. The rot goes deep & makes life awful for good people.
Oh, drive a manual. Idiots can’t.
