We Are Change Minnesota
September 20th, 2009

We Are Change Minnesota struck up a conversation with Hennepin County Sheriff Richard Stanek after his speech on public safety at a meeting hosted by SD-45 Republicans. After hearing an account of our confrontation with suspected provocateurs at the 2008 Republican National Convention, he began his response by joking that they were, "probably older white guys," but went on to admit that, "they had a lot of cops working in the crowd."

Sheriff Stanek, who is also a former Minnesota State Senator, is elected to serve Hennepin County—neighbor to Ramsey County which hosted the 2008 Republican National Convention. Citing a difference of opinion with the Ramsey County Sheriffs Department, Stanek stated that he neither "condone(s)" nor "believes" in the practice of deploying agents provocateurs and that his officers did not participate as provocateurs.

The sheriff was also asked if any mandatory vaccination plans are in the works and whether he would cede authority to Federal agencies to implement such plans, to which he responded that he was not aware of any and explained that the Sheriffs department would have only a limited role in response to pandemic outbreak by providing an orderly way in which people could seek vaccinations and assisting in the transportation of vaccine. Furthermore, he stated that he couldnt foresee the department ever force-vaccinating.

"Maybe the military is working on something else, heh, they havent let me in. I can tell you wed be very cautious, though, of ceding any authority as the Hennepin County Sheriff over to anyone else. Thats why we work for the people, honestly, thats why Im elected by all of you—the 1.3 million residents of this county."

I couldn't hear the sheriff admit to police provacateurs. He may well have said it, but with all that background noise I couldn't make that out of what was said. RN

This sheriff is from a different county I think then the one were the convention was held. I am sure he sent some men there to help out.

There is a big difference between having deputies in plain close and keeping an eye out for some one with 20000 lb fertilizer and diesel fuel and deputies with 200 lb of fertilizer and diesel fuel and detonators that will set it off so rest of the cops can get to beat the hell out of someone.

Cops = thugs!

[Nancysissypants]

I'm not shocked, it's an old tactic used by the police.

I'ld like to point out that having cops assigned to work in a crowd is a far cry from them being "agent provocateurs" but then again, what else should we expect from Obama supports but more lies, distortions and untruths, right? Man, was Biden ever so right when he said that Obama was not ready and the US would be better off under McCain.
