WATCH: Cops Release Video of Democrat Claiming He Was Stopped for ‘Driving While Black’
Police in Minnesota released bodycam video of the traffic stop involving state Rep. John Thompson (D), raising questions pertaining to his claim he was stopped for “driving while black.”
The St. Paul Police Department released the video Tuesday showing the moment an officer approached Thompson’s vehicle on July 4, according to Fox News.
“Why in such a hurry?” the policeman asked Thompson, who replied, “I don’t think I took off like a bat out of hell. I just drove off.”
Once the officer asked him for proof of insurance, Thompson said it was on his phone and added he is a state representative.
“With a Wisconsin license?” the officer questioned.
“Yeah, with a Wisconsin license,” Thompson stated.
“You’re suspended in Minnesota,” the policeman told Thompson a few minutes later, to which he replied, “No.”
Thompson’s license was reportedly suspended in 2019 when he failed to pay child support in Ramsey County, according to the Fox article.
