Mike Max called Minneapolis a "Hell hole" last night on

Burnsville Officers Paul Elmstrand and Matthew Ruge responded to the 911 Domestic Violence call - and were shot and killed.
Adam Finseth was the medic trying to help one of them when he too was shot and killed.

#MyNameIs
Vineeta. Pron: Vuh-NEE-ta. It’s an Indian name that means unassuming, knowledgeable or modest.
It was tough having an unusual name & growing up in a KC suburb. I always wanted to just fit in.
