Today, I’m proud of the work we’ve done to make Minnesota the best place to live and raise kids.
I’ve decided to step out of the race and let others worry about the election while I focus on the work.

Also, article defends actions of the police. Okay, in this instance they were doing something positive. But there's a reason is Acab, not Mcab.

So Nola dot com wrote about the fiasco with Sports Drink filming the cops, and I still stand by my inquiry - WHY are we dressing law enforcement in faux military garb that's all indistinguishable yet similar?
