| Description | St. Paul Police Chief Todd Axtell is demanding an apology from a Minnesota state representative who accused one of his sergeants of racial profiling.
"On Sunday, July 4, one of our sergeants working a traffic safety detail stopped a state representative for driving without a front license plate on his vehicle, which is unlawful in the state of Minnesota," Axtell said in a Facebook post. "Two days later I was shocked to hear that driver accuse the sergeant of making the stop based on race."
The police chief said he was compelled to look into the traffic stop upon hearing of the accusation from Rep. John Thompson, who is Black—an accusation he said he doesn't "take lightly." |
