Bodycam footage released by the police appears to contradict Democrat Minnesota state Rep. John Thompson’s claim he was pulled over for “driving while black.

“Why in such a hurry?” an officer asks Thompson in the released footage.

Thompson replies “I don’t think I took off like a bat out of hell, I just drove off.”

The officer asks for proof of insurance then returns to say “You’re suspended in Minnesota.”

The state legislator shakes his head no, prompting the officer to say, “That’s what the computer says. If it’s wrong, you’ll have to deal with DVS [the Department of Vehicle Services].”

Thompson asks in the video why he was pulled over and the officer says it was because his vehicle has “No front plate, and the way you took off from the light back there.”

Thompson then complains “I’m too old to run from the police, man. You profiled me because you looked me dead in the face and I got a ticket for driving while Black. You pulled me over because you saw a Black face in this car, brother. There’s no way in hell I’m taking off with you behind me. … You looked in this car and busted a U-turn and got behind my car, and that’s the reason – ”

In a Facebook post, Todd Axtell, the St. Paul chief of police demands an apology from Thompson.

“We also take responsibility for our actions. When we make mistakes, we own them and try to fix them. It’s what our community expects of its public servants,” he says.

“The driver, an elected official who does not dispute driving without a front license plate, owes our sergeant an apology,” he added.

THE ACTRESS TOLD INSTYLE YOUNG NOAH HAS BEEN SUBJECT TO “MEAN, AWFUL PEOPLE AND CRUEL PEOPLE” ONLINE.

“I DON’T WANT HIM TO EVER HAVE TO READ THAT SHIT BECAUSE HE HEARS IT FROM LITTLE KIDS AT HIS OWN SCHOOL WHO ARE LIKE, ‘BOYS DON’T WEAR DRESSES,’” FOX, 35, SAID.

HERE’S HOW INSTYLE REPORTED ON FOX’S CRYING WHEN ASKED ABOUT HER CHILDREN:

WHEN I ASK HER ABOUT HER KIDS, FOX DOES SOMETHING WOMEN ARE TOLD CONSTANTLY TO AVOID IN PROFESSIONAL SETTINGS: SHE CRIED. AT FIRST, SHE APOLOGIZED FOR HER EMOTIONS BUT THEN IMMEDIATELY STOPPED HERSELF AND WENT ON WITH WHAT SHE WAS SAYING. LIKE HER EPIPHANY AROUND HER CAREER, SHE ACKNOWLEDGED THERE’S NO NEED TO HOLD BACK A FEELING JUST BECAUSE OF SOME ARBITRARY BEHAVIORAL RULE SET OUT FOR WOMEN. AND WHEN IT COMES TO HER “BABIES,” ALL THAT MATTERS IS PROTECTING THEM, ESPECIALLY HER OLDEST, 8-YEAR-OLD NOAH, WHO HAS BEEN SUBJECT TO “MEAN, AWFUL PEOPLE AND CRUEL PEOPLE,” ONLINE. “I DON’T WANT HIM TO EVER HAVE TO READ THAT SHIT BECAUSE HE HEARS IT FROM LITTLE KIDS AT HIS OWN SCHOOL WHO ARE LIKE, ‘BOYS DON’T WEAR DRESSES,’” SHE SAYS.
BACK IN 2019, FOX TOLD “THE TALK” THAT NOAH, THEN 6 YEARS OLD, WORE DRESSES TO HIS “REALLY LIBERAL, HIPPY SCHOOL,” NOTING THAT SHE’S TRYING TO TEACH HIM “CONFIDENCE” TO HANDLE BEING PICKED ON.

“SOMETIMES, HE’LL DRESS HIMSELF AND HE LIKES TO WEAR DRESSES SOMETIMES,” SHE SAID ON THE PANEL, ACCORDING TO PEOPLE MAGAZINE. “AND I SEND HIM TO A REALLY LIBERAL, HIPPY SCHOOL, BUT EVEN THERE — HERE IN CALIFORNIA — HE STILL HAS LITTLE BOYS GOING, ‘BOYS DON’T WEAR DRESSES,’ OR ‘BOYS DON’T WEAR PINK.’ ”

See, this is the problem with liberals – they expect everyone around them to bite their tongue and alter their behavior to suit their feelings.

The reality is that you can’t control what others are going to say to your child, especially other children  – so, why set them up for failure? Why use them to conduct your own progressive experiments and make your societal statements?

This is just poor parenting.

On July 4th progressive “squad” member Cori Bush caused a firestorm by tweeting “When they say that the 4th of July is about American freedom, remember this: the freedom they’re referring to is for white people. This land is stolen land and Black people still aren’t free.”

Senator Ted Cruz has now fired back tweeting

Hateful, divisive lies.

The Left hates America. Believe them when they tell you this.

Two years ago, Colin Kaepernick tried to spread the same lies on July 4. I responded with the wisdom of the great abolitionist Frederick Douglass:

HATEFUL, DIVISIVE LIES.

THE LEFT HATES AMERICA. BELIEVE THEM WHEN THEY TELL YOU THIS.

TWO YEARS AGO, COLIN KAEPERNICK TRIED TO SPREAD THE SAME LIES ON JULY 4. I RESPONDED WITH THE WISDOM OF THE GREAT ABOLITIONIST FREDERICK DOUGLASS:HTTPS://T.CO/XPTXLFRRP6 HTTPS://T.CO/A2PAKMUKMA
