St. Paul police released bodycam footage Tuesday of an Independence Day traffic stop involving Minnesota state Rep. John Thompson after the Democrat lawmaker claimed that he was the victim of racial profiling. Following the incident, Thompson received a ticket for driving with a suspended out-of-state license. Minnesota Rep. John Thompson claims he was racially profiled after being pulled over by police.Says he was stopped because the officer “saw a black face.” Yeah, I’m sure it has NOTHING to do with the lack of a license plate, suspended drivers license, and excessive speed. pic.twitter.com/rA25EoipcH — Suburban Black Man ?? (@goodblackdude) July 15, 2021 A St. Paul police officer pulled Thompson over in the early morning hours of July 4, reporting that morning that the state representative was driving without a front license plate, which is illegal in Minnesota. Thompson claimed during the traffic stop and via press statement afterwards that the cop pulled him over because he is black.
The body camera video starts with the police officer approaching Thompson’s car. The audio is silent in the beginning when the footage buffered, according to the police department. The silent first 30 seconds means the initial words spoken by the officer and Thompson cannot be heard, Bring Me The News reported .
“Why in such a hurry?” the officer asks Thompson after the buffering.
“I don’t think I took off like a bat out of hell. I just drove off,” Thompson replies.
The officer notes that Thompson’s license is from Wisconsin. Thompson said in the Monday press statement that he obtained a Wisconsin license because his family was considering moving back to the state to care for a family member.
“I’m actually a current state representative in this district right here,” Thompson tells the officer in the body camera video.
“And you got a Wisconsin [driver’s] license?” the officer asks Thompson further.

The cop returns to his police cruiser for about 14 minutes of the approximate 16-minute long video. After printing off a citation, the cop exits the squad car and approaches Thompson’s vehicle, apologizing for taking so long. The officer says that Thompson’s license had been suspended. […]

They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
