BLM borrowing Klan tactics in the suburbs
Bob Kroll is the president of the Minneapolis Police Officer’s Union.
His wife, Liz Collin, is an anchor at WCCO, a local news channel.
Kroll endorsed Trump and criticized BLM.
The mob went into his neighborhood, lead by a Minnesota State Representative candidate endorsed by BLM and Ilhan Omar.
It was ugly.
The guy yelling and cursing at neighborhood children and neighbors of police union leader Bob Kroll is John Thompson, a Dem candidate for the MN House of Representatives.
He has been endorsed by Rep. Ilhan Omar, MN Gov. Tim Walz, and MN AG Keith Ellison.pic.twitter.com/A1IcVAguzX

The message on the back of the effigy of Collin that was beaten in the driveway of her home referenced her work as a journalist. This violent protest was meant to intimidate a journalist in Minnesota. This behavior needs to be denounced by the @mnspj and other journalists. pic.twitter.com/FD1rd0KwsU

How terribly different is smashing an effigy from burning a cross? It’s still a threat of destruction.
A mob gathers in the front yard of a house to threaten the family, the children, of a man they disagree with, engaging in the worst racist language.
The colors may change and the uniforms may be different but the Democrats are still using the same Klan tactics.
