HENNEPIN COMMISSIONER CALLS TO DEFUND SHERIFF’S OFFICE "Commissioner Marion Greene @HennepinD3: 'I'm not willing to fund the sheriff to provide public safety for Hennepin County.' You serious? Our @HennepinSheriff Sheriff's deputies—professional, battle-tested—have kept this whole county safe since 1852. And Lake Minnetonka Lodge 6 @FOP6LakeMtka covers most of it—our own members are those badges. You're calling them unfit? Exhibit A: April 2024, Minnetonka warrant service. Deputy Christopher Heihn takes an AR-15 round to his trigger finger—amputated. Doesn't quit. Learns to shoot middle-finger style, left-handed. By February 2025? Back on full patrol. His words: 'What’s the alternative? Mope about it or get back on the horse?' That's grit! That's why we don't defund—these guys run toward gunfire while you float social-worker fantasies. Remember 2021? 'Defund the Police' tanked—crime exploded, voters revolted. Don't repeat it! We stand with @SheriffWittHCSO along with the men & women of HCSO! Real law enforcement! Real results! #BackTheBlue #BackTheBrown #SupportOurSheriff #HennepinStrong #FOPStrong 🇺🇸 #HennepinSheriff #DeputyHeihn @AlphaNews @lizcollin Fraternal Order of Police Lake Minnetonka Lodge 6 @KevinRofidal, Lodge President
