A Minneapolis police lieutenant faces an internal investigation into recent comments that fellow officers say implied that U.S. Rep. Keith Ellison is a terrorist. The comments allegedly were made during a required police ethics training class this week by Lt. Bob Kroll, according to Mayor R.T. Rybak. In a highly unusual move, Chief Tim Dolan sent an e-mail to all employees saying the comments were unacceptable and unflattering to the department. Dolan also issued a public apology to Ellison, a Democrat from Minneapolis and the first Muslim elected to Congress.
Kroll, an officer with Minneapolis for 18 years and vice president of the Police Federation, denied Thursday that he called Ellison a terrorist or that he even mentioned him by name during the class. Kroll will remain on duty during the internal investigation.
He said he'd be "a little smarter than that" -- than to make such comments with his boss and the deputy chief of professional standards in the room.
Rybak said the comments are "shockingly ignorant" if it's true Kroll made them.

How did i know something like this would happen with Ellison? What a race baiter.
Are they going to investigate whether Ellison really is a terrorist?
All I can say is, " if the shoe fits." but that isn't politcaly correct
He is probably right.
Naw, that would be "shockingly ignorant".
As an act of good will Lt Kroll should send Ellison a box of cigars.

Ellison will swear on a stack of Korans that he's no terrorist.
sounds like Kroll has a ticket to rehab.
He may not be a terrorist. He's a terrorist supporter. And I'd never apologize to the dirtball in a million years.
" if the shoe fits."

Here we go. A certain highly priviliged minority "religion" has taken for itself the highly coveted title of "Most Priviliged Minority Group". Any time any one of them imagines or invents an insult, it it raised to a higher level than real crimes.
That's how it works in pc-dominated USA.
