Minneapolis Mayor Betsy Hodges blasted the jackass remarks made by the head of the citys police union on Tuesday, while Police Chief Janeé Harteau issued a more measured response in the wake of four Minneapolis police officers who walked off an off-duty job at a Minnesota Lynx game Saturday.
The officers quit the job before the game over the decision by players to criticize racial profiling and wear pregame warm up jerseys, that said Black Lives Matter, but also included the Dallas Police logo.
Minneapolis Police Federation President Bob Kroll said in an interview with the Star Tribune on Monday that he commended the officers for leaving their post and predicted other officers would do the same.
He also said only four officers worked the Saturday game because the Lynx are a pathetic draw.
In a statement on her Facebook page, Mayor Hodges wrote, Bob Krolls remarks about the Lynx are jackass remarks.
Let me be clear: labor leadership inherently does not speak on behalf of management. Bob Kroll sure as hell doesnt speak for me about the Lynx or about anything else.

How does she compare with RT?
Minneapolis sure does elect a boatload of jackass politicians!
Her hometown Wayzata MN must be TOTALLY ashamed of her. Most of the folks there will vote for Donald.
We have a winner.
Long past time for the police unions to get involved. Their members are getting shot on the street and the politicians they’ve been contributing to are calling them jackasses for protesting it. That isn’t going to fly.
Unions vote democrat. No matter who they represent.
Just mindless.
Note the Star & Tribune paper refuses to allow comments on any of the stories about the gang member or the terrorist group Black Lives Don’t matter (in Chicago they are quiet). They are part of the democrat party narrative that police are criminals,
Also known as the Star and Sickle.

Another stupid cow. The cow reference has nothing to do with her looks. She, like the rest of the progressives, has the wits of a cow.

I have nothing against Cows.
In fact, some of my best friends are Cows.
Cows used to supply the bases when we played ‘pasture baseball’ as kids.
Elsie is a good Cow.
A Cow jumped over the moon - Hi diddle diddle
I feel you are in bad taste comparing cows to idiot politicians.
You owe Cows in general an apology.
Thanking you in advance. Moo Moo Moo
