University of Minnesota student leader caught on video telling peers to place fake police calls to make life hell for cops
A member of the University of Minnesota's student government was caught on video imploring her peers to make the lives of police officers "hell" by placing bogus calls for help.
Lauren Meyers is the chief financial officer of the Minnesota Student Association and the co-chair of the Office for Student Affairs Mental Health committee. During a video conference with fellow members of the MSA, Meyers instructed her fellow student government members to use several tactics to "annoy the s*** out of" campus law enforcement.
During the video call, another student asked Meyers, "When you say disrupt UMPD, what exactly do you mean by that?"
Meyers replied, "Make their lives hell. Annoy the s*** out of them. Like, use up their resources, make their officers show up to something."

The Minnesota Police and Peace Officers Association and Law Enforcement Labor Services issued a joint statement on Tuesday, where the police unions called for an investigation into the situation and warned that making phony 911 calls can be a felony.
"Minnesota law prohibits using emergency calls to report a false emergency or crime, and claims that lead to serious injury or death is a felony publishable by 10 years imprisonment and/or a maximum fine of $20,000," the letter reads.
Minnesota Police and Peace Officers Association Executive Director Brian Peters added, "Actively planning to thwart UMPD by generating false calls for help is insulting to the overwhelming majority of the campus community that rely on public safety services."
"Last month the campus community had 13 incidents of aggravated assault, 52 burglaries, 22 car thefts, 4 sexual assaults, numerous thefts, and a murder on or near campus," Peters continued. "We're frustrated that elected student leaders would purposefully choose to stir further division to make the campus less safe."
Law Enforcement Labor Services Executive Director Jim Mortenson said, "Everyone deserves to be safe, and advocating to impede police from assisting victims of crime is mindboggling."
The police unions called for an outside agency to "conduct a criminal investigation into this incident to determine if charges are warranted."
Meyers' comments were reportedly made while MSA members were discussing a recent letter the student government sent to University of Minnesota president Joan Gabel. The letter demands the resignation of University of Minnesota Police Department Chief Matt Clark.
The letter alleges that Clark has failed to increase "campus safety and wellness" for students of color and allowed the "utilization of UMPD as a physical arm of the oppressive state to subjugate and silence community members."

More Indoctrination of Youth in Minnesota Schools
Minnesota Police Association Says Book Used in Burnsville Class Encourages Children to Fear Officers as Racist.
The largest association of public safety officers in Minnesota says a best-selling children's book listed by state agencies as a resource for talking about race "encourages children to fear police officers as unfair, violent, and racist."
In a Friday letter to Gov. Tim Walz, Minnesota Police and Peace Officers Association's executive director Brian Peters requested the state stop recommending the book for instructing elementary students and asked for a follow-up conversation about the approval process for the book.
"Something Happened In Our Town: A Child's Story About Racial Injustice," published in 2018, is about the aftermath of a police officer shooting a Black man. Written by three psychologists, the picture book features two families - one Black and one white - who "talk about the shooting, about the history of racial injustice in the United States, and about how they can help break the pattern of racism," according to a description by publisher Magination Press.
But Peters wrote to Walz that "(l)anguage in this book leaves the impression unchecked that police officers routinely pull over, arrest, and kill black people without consequence."
He referred to passages in the book, including, "The cops shot him because he was Black;" "This pattern is being nice to White people and mean to Black people;" and "Cops stick up for each other. And they don't like Black men."
Peters continued in his letter: "There are worthy discussions for our state to have surrounding race and equity in society and what children can do to be part of a more just world. We absolutely support making stronger community connections and bring people together. But divisive language that leaves children with the false impression police officers are out to hurt people based on the color of their skin is defamatory, wrong, and harms genuine public safety efforts."
