Minnesota state Rep. John Thompson made up a story about a racial profiling incident, claiming he was stopped for driving while black. An investigation has also revealed that Thompson doesn’t even live in MN.
According to Minneapolis local outlet ABC 5 Eyewitness News, Thompson said the following during a Tuesday speech during a rally outside the Minnesota Governor’s residence:
“We’re still getting ‘driving while Black’ tickets in this state and in fact in St. Paul. So let’s just call it what it is, right…I shouldn’t have to be profiled, so this is ridiculous. Oh, and by the way, it was a sergeant here in St. Paul by the way. We promote bad behavior.”
In reality, a police sergeant stopped him because, by Thompson’s own admission, his front plates were missing.
When Thompson made the accusation, Police Chief Todd Axtell felt he needed to investigate and that’s when he found out it wasn’t true. He also found out that Thompson lives in Wisconsin.
The state rep was supposed to live in Minnesota at the time of his election so that has to be investigated.
The Chief spoke with the sergeant and went through the bodycam footage to find Thompson was lying. He now wants a public apology from Thompson.
JUST IN: St. Paul Police Chief Todd Axtell says MN State Rep John Thompson owes an apology to the St. Paul Police sergeant who pulled him over last weekend. “…I was shocked to hear that driver accuse the sergeant of making the stop based on race,” Axtell writes on Facebook. pic.twitter.com/S9DiVKNrIc

Background on Thompson
Thompson is a Black Lives Matter activist who showed up at the police union’s president’s house with a mob before he was voted into office.
We posted three stories about it here, here, and here. The cursing, threatening mob was led by civil rights attorney Nekima Levy Armstrong, candidate for state rep John Thompson, and CAIR National leaders.
The mob screamed and cursed at neighbors and children.
Thompson repeatedly and viciously beat at a pinata of Kroll’s wife WCCO reporter Liz Collin, as the mob cheered. The mob planned to get them fired from their jobs.

Based on the recent past, nothing will happen to him and he will get re elected.
“Thompson is a Black Lives Matter activist” All you need to know. Another perpetual victim racist. When they find he broke the law, not even living in the state he was running for office in, I hope he is removed from office.
If not fp0or their lies their agenda would get nowhere.
The Privileged White and Black Radicals are a danger to America. Minnesota state Rep. John Thompson is one more to be added to a list of people investigated for Un-American activities. If he really lives out of State he should be arrested by the Minnesota State Police for fraud.
A mob is an Un-American Activity. When a mob shows up at your house, you should be given Card Blanche to open fire if you are threatened, even if only a direct verbal threat with aggressive action. If some one threatens to kill you and takes just on step in your direct, a home owner should have the absolute right to drop them were they stand without having to find out if they really meant it. The intimidation from groups like AntiFa and BLM needs to stop now. NO ONE should be a victim of Terrorism in their home. No sane person can deny that a mob protesting at your personal residence is not a threat to life and limb. A mob showing up at the residence of a political figure, actually anyone, is terrorism and EVERYONE involved should get 20 years. I find it interesting that Democrats routinely threaten people at their residence, but when The People protested Congress at the Capitol it was an insurrection. The 1st Amendment allows petitioning Government, though 6 January was over the top. The 4th Amendment provides for people to be safe in their homes, from Government abuse, but when the Government refuses to protect people from organized abuse, i.e. terrorism, the Government is violating the 4th Amendment. What we see today is Government empowering non-government organizations (business and mobs) to do the Government’s bidding to get around the “spirit” of the Constitution, specifically the 4th Amendment. We MUST NOT allow this to continue. When a Mob forms, individuals must have the absolute right of protection clearly enshrined in Law with the only requirement being a reasonable belief that you or your family MAY be in danger of lose of life or limb. Then there is the Big Tech Cancel Culture, No One deserves to be cancelled by Government, business, or another individual, that is a violation of human rights.
I keep my Blanche Card next to my M146-AT4 for such an occasion….
I was driving while flatulent but too far away to drive past and float an air biscuit.
Aren’t there quotes from 100 years ago by Douglass about race hustlers?
Nothing new under the sun.
