@jimrome Jimmy, 1.50"+ hail reported just outside of Eagle River this morning! 'Dodger Jan-O' really got her fill of 'Sconnie' today.

@jimrome Hey Jimmy. Did DJ get a chance to experience this morning's pounding Thunderstorm in Eagle River? It was a beauty. ER ain't California baby!

@StarTribune clown show.

@amyklobuchar I shop for groceries, fill up my families fuel tanks, pay all my families bills. Sure costs have risen maybe a little, but I haven't see my costs "skyrocketing". Don't buy into the idea of hyperbole Amy it isn't you.

why does it always have to be Ghana @jimrome ? Ghana. It's always Ghana. Sincerely, England.

@Thefactsdude You forgot to mention that he cried several times that he "can't breathe" during that struggle in the vehicle. How conventient.

[Thomas Novak @TomRochesterMN]

@Thefactsdude It is truly a shame that a man needlessly lost his life. There is no doubt that several unfortunate circumstances contributed to his death. Drugs, hypertension, nervousness & the fear of being arrested. The police thought he was fine when being restrained. They were wrong.

[Thomas Novak @TomRochesterMN]

@Thefactsdude At least 10 of those "can't breathe" shouts occurred before he was placed face down on the pavement. Facts.

@DeRushaJ @wccoradio I don't understand why we don't acknowledge the shameful act of placing at least 3 innocent law enforcement officers in jail for 2+ years for simply trying to do their job in a difficult situation.

[Thomas Novak @TomRochesterMN]

@jimrome Jimmy, your Wemby take is simply wrong. That aliens' elbow is NO different than him turning around & cold-cocking Reid right in the face with his fist. Not cool & should at least get a full game suspension. No doubt 'Ears' is playing favorites here.

[Thomas Novak @TomRochesterMN]

@KTTCTV So, a man who is a pillar of your community, who steps up to the plate when nobody else wanted to & nearly coaches your H.S. BB team to a state title in his 2nd year gets disrespected & tossed off to the side? This makes NO sense at all. NONE.

@StribSports @SouhanStrib The definition of 'dumb decision making' is doing the same thing over & over again yet expecting a different result. Souhan's advice is foolish. No wonder why MN sports teams get nowhere.

@ChaoticBiVibes @celticdragon10 @onetakesaint @MattStxw @Bjmajm2216 @OzraeliAvi Our society & culture is becoming increasingly disrespectful. I don't want this to snowball any further. BTW, from what I've seen, those cops should be in jail.

[Thomas Novak @TomRochesterMN]

@ChaoticBiVibes @celticdragon10 @onetakesaint @MattStxw @Bjmajm2216 @OzraeliAvi My goal is to understand why arrests escalate. The ONE common denominator is that those being arrested ignore commands. This NOT a good reason to for COPS to get physical, but it happens a lot. So, address the escalation & you've solved much of the problem.

[Thomas Novak @TomRochesterMN]

@ChaoticBiVibes @celticdragon10 @onetakesaint @MattStxw @Bjmajm2216 @OzraeliAvi I don't believe it has been proven. It is a they said, she said situation right now. We will find out for sure soon enough. Until then, keep that door open.

[Thomas Novak @TomRochesterMN]

@celticdragon10 @onetakesaint @MattStxw @Bjmajm2216 @OzraeliAvi Not sure if you read, but the police report says Mr. Tyre was driving recklessly @ a high rate of speed, he attempted to grab an officers gun & he assaulted an officer. Not saying that is what happened, but if the cops are lying, that's a big problem.

[Thomas Novak @TomRochesterMN]

@dee4life2137 @shutah8 @OzraeliAvi I don't think you realize how much officers use physical force when subduing suspects who are not cooperating. Not saying it is right, but it happens a ton. My assumption is that it is taught.

[Thomas Novak @TomRochesterMN]

@dee4life2137 @shutah8 @OzraeliAvi what you are assuming is that at least 6 trusted officers decided to beat this man without any probable cause. If this is the case, we are in trouble as a society. I will give COPS the benefit of the doubt until I hear the whole story.
