Top Cop Identifies State's Biggest Threat

Corporal Timothy Jenson is the President of the Minnesota State Patrol Troopers Association. He's seen a lot of horrible things in his 24 years of service. In the latest union newsletter, he details his involvement responding to the 1983 murders of two Federal Marshalls and several civilians by radical tax protest group Posse Comitatus.

1982 was not 1970 and the Posse was protesting paying their taxes, not race issues. If they had been, someone as influential as former St. Paul Police Chief William Finney might have said:

"This was a 'To Whom It May Concern' killing. There was a whole lot of conflict going on between the African-American community and the city of St. Paul and the police, and there was a whole lot of anger. Things were changing from the way they had been to the way they were going to be. We were all revolutionaries back then, but we didn't all take the same path."

As evil as the murderers of the Posse were, they only killed a handful of people. The "We Don't Want to be Taxpayers League of Minnesota" wants to dismantle the safety net that protects the poor, eliminate public and higher education, build 15-lane highways named after Ronald Reagan and turn Minnesota into Haiti. All for the sake of a few million bucks in a few millionaires pockets.
