Charges against a House DFL candidate won't be filed after he shouted expletives outside the home of Minneapolis police union president Bob Kroll.
DFL activist John Thompson, who won his primary last week for House District 67A, was shown via video on Twitter shouting into a microphone to a group of protestors and using expletives near neighbors and children.
Washington County Attorney Pete Orput and Sheriff Dan Starry said Thompson's comments did not violate any felony statutes. He addressed the demonstration on Facebook.
Activists outside the home of Kroll and his wife, WCCO TV reporter Liz Collin, smashed piñatas made to represent the pair. More than 100 people urged that both be fired from their jobs before dispersing.
Activists have been criticized for their actions in smashing the piñata representing Liz Collin.
