Four off-duty Minneapolis police officers working the Minnesota Lynx game at Target Center on Saturday night walked off the job after the players held a news conference denouncing racial profiling, then wore Black Lives Matter pregame warm-up jerseys.

Lt. Bob Kroll, president of the Minneapolis Police Federation, the union that represents rank-and-file officers, praised them for quitting. "I commend them for it," he said.

Kroll said the four officers also removed themselves from a list of officers working future games. He did not know who the officers were. "Others said they heard about it and they were not going to work Lynx games," he said.

Asked if other officers will fill in for those who quit, Kroll said, "If [the players] are going to keep their stance, all officers may refuse to work there."

The lesbian chief in Minne-dishu might want to punish these guys but they would not have been on official duty at these games. They are hired for security. Bet the chief is infuriated though at their walkoff.

Also bet she is chewing the carpet in anger.

The St. Louis team made false accusations against cops.

Yep. Some try to stay on message but the truly ‘special’ ones just can’t help themselves from betraying their truly feelings. We know what they want and many of us are preparing in case they get bold enough to go after it.

Yeah. The games are played at the Target Center, in the middle of the warehouse district of Minneapolis.

I don’t go where my (LEGAL) personal protection is not allowed.

There were Detroit Lions players (Reggie Bush and others) who wore anti-cop jerseys after the Eric Garner incident in New York.

And then there was the Beyonce half-time show.

Yikes! It is a women’s team. LOL! Sorry I don’t pay that much attention to basketball. I’ll bet they still wear jockstraps though.
