Sioux Falls FOP endorses TenHaken. (Of course they do)

Out of my mailbox…

PRESS RELEASE
For Immediate Release

March 24, 2022:

The Fraternal Order of Police Labor Council Lodge #1 represents the membership of over 230 Police Officers and Sergeants of the Sioux Falls Police Department.

The Labor Council is pleased to announce it officially endorses candidate Paul Tenhaken for the office of Mayor in Sioux Falls.

The members of our labor union are grateful for the relationship we have built with Mayor Tenhaken over the last few years. He has provided exceptional leadership and the support our officers and sergeants need to ensure public safety for those who live, work, and visit in our city. His vision of “One Sioux Falls” promotes civic unity at a time where others focus only on division. That unity is essential to maintain the quality of life our citizens deserve and move our city forward.
The men and women of this membership support Mayor Tenhaken’s candidacy, and encourage all of Sioux Falls to vote for Tenhaken.

Well, of course they do. Mayor TenHaken has been an advocate for police.

And his opponent? Well, much less so. Here’s a photo from 2020 where she was demanding justice reform…

… where Taneeza Islam was advocating for policing policies to make Sioux Falls more like Seattle and Minneapolis.

In fact, I believe she may have indicated that the Sioux Falls Police and Highway Patrol’s response to the riots at the Empire Mall in 2020 were “militarized”, unjust and improper.

Labor Unions, The Fraternal Order of Police.. anyone else abandoning Taneeza in the run up to the election?

    1. Cannot agree more. I refer to him as Emperor Tenhaken. It is too bad some of the others who ran before did not choose to run again. I wonder if he regrets letting his power go to his head during the pandemic. I will skip voting on this one.

      1. What the heck are you talking about? No businesses ever shut down. AND, he only voted on mask mandates once, and he voted no. Get educated before running your mouth.

        1. Well, I am educated. Perhaps if you quit the marijuana and came out of your
          mom’s basement you would be able to remember what happened. Tell that to all of the restaurants that “voluntarily” closed. He made it known that he had the kind of influence that he could bring pressure upon the businesses. He essentially forced restaurants to close. He also lacked the cojones to actually tell businesses to close and asked the governor to do it for him. As for the useless mask mandates, it was when he found out the people were adamantly against it, he decided to change on it.

  1. The law should be “Anyone throwing a brick, rock, Molotov cocktail, or firing a projectile at any law enforcement or their vehicle may be immediately dealt with in response with lethal force!”
    2023 HB ???
