A word from the Minneapolis airport police department...
Remember the six Imams who were removed from their flight for being disruptive?
Scott at
Power Line got an email from someone on that airport's police department:
A word from the Minneapolis airport police
One of the officers of the Minneapolis airport police force has emailed us a message commenting on the case of the flying imams:
I am a sergeant with the Airport Police. I was not working that night with the Imam incident (I work day shift), however I have spoken in great detail to the officers that were involved with the incident. Obviously as you have pointed out, these Imams are lying. Of course the media are eating out of their hands.
First off, none of the Imams were handcuffed in the airplane. They were handcuffed before they were placed in the squad car and the handcuffs were then taken off when they were brought back to our office. This is a standard operating procedure for when we transport anybody that is being arrested or being detained. Unless someone was looking out the window, it is doubtful anyone else would have known these guys were handcuffed.
Second, the claim about police dogs barking is absurd. We had a couple officers who are K-9 officers that were assisting with the Imams, however the only time that the dogs were used was to sweep the airplane after the Imams were taken off. We have 7 K-9's in our department, 2 of which are drug dogs and were not there. The other 5 are bomb sniffing dogs, 2 or 3 of which were there. None of our K-9's are "biting" dogs. THEY DO NOT BARK!!! I have been around those dogs for 4 years now and I have only heard one of them bark once when someone stepped on their tail. The Imams are basing this false claim off the sterotype of a police canine that sits in the back of the squad and barks endlessly at anyone that comes close. This of course is not being questioned by the MSM. Our dogs wouldn't last in an Airport environment with people all over if they barked.
They also claim that religious discrimination. If anyone bothered to do any research they would find out that we have taken many people off of flights for reasons much less than what they did. A couple of times I have assisted in removing people from flights for reasons that I didn't agree, but it is the pilot's decision. One time a guy was kicked off a flight because he fell asleep and his leg fell out into the aisle and the flight attendant tripped over it. Some of these people were obviously upset, but didn't make some major media campaign about it.
Please keep on this kind of stuff that happens at our airport. I have worked their now for 5 years and have been a witness to a lot of nonsense to what the Muslims are trying to push on us. It starts with little things like the alcohol and taxicab issue, then moves on to claiming discrimination. I know it is clear to me and people like you that they are trying to push their ideology onto us as a country. I was told that their "victories" have been posted on Al-Jazeera. I haven't confirmed this, but wouldn't doubt it. As you probably know, we have a large Muslim population here in the Twin Cities and I strongly believe they are using this as a starting point. We as a department have dealt with the Muslim cab drivers and myself have had cab drivers tell me that "Allah" will make me pay for giving them a parking ticket. Incidents like these aren't isolated, almost every officer that works here can tell a personal story about dealing with a Muslim and the religion becoming an issue.
There is so much more going on that I can't share due to sensitive information, but trust me it is serious stuff. I just hope that the media would be critical to it. I don't have much faith in the MSM, but I do in blogs and websites like yours. Keep up the good work. We do post articles that you have done in our office, so most in the law enforcement community know what's going on. It's just the policy makers we have to work on. Thank-you for what you do.
And this shit is just going to get worse before it gets better.
Multiculturalism is a failed theory. Never worked and never will.
