Who's saying she asked the police to change her tire? Do you agree her behavior was reprehensible or not?


No, I don't agree. I think it was dumb to call the District Commander, but it was an error in judgment.

Anyone familiar with the FOP knows they are completely full of it and desperately want to get her voted out. If anything I think the police are abusing their powers for political gain.



Wow, what flavour was that Kool-Aid? Please adjust your tinfoil hat. Clearly, THEY are getting the frequency past your protection.



Such a coherent post, so convincing

Btw I estimate there are approximately two DCUM posters that live in Mink's district. The rest of you have no power to vote her out.

A councilmember who two days ago called for police not responding to traffic incidents called the *district commander* over a flat tire.

Pretend there was an “R” next to her name and the outrage would make the reopening of Newell street to cars look like nothing.


She has a capable social media presence…they are running damage control, I’m sure. The alternative would be to admit fault and apologize, which would in unthinkable.

She abused her power and authority. No one that knows about her is surprised by this. Some animals are just more equal than others, I guess.

“The Montgomery County police union is accusing a newly elected council member of abusing her position of power to get her flat tire fixed.”

They do change tires. All the time. Community policing as well as roadway safety.

Would have gone a long way if she had tweeted her appreciation for their help after tweeting that they were basically Memphis.


YES. She's so clueless. Why ask a cop for help when she basically stated they weren't needed. That's her first fail. Then her second fail was when she tweeted with her lame excuse without saying her appreciation and thank you to the cops who helped her.


Well... That's their job!


This must be her husband.

Many 3D officers were tied up with a real call at the time, so they WERE doing their job. This was worth a non-emergency call, not a call to the district commander, especially not by someone intent on further limiting policing in the county.

And her statement? The police who “eventually” showed up? Nice words from somebody who prioritized herself and pulled them from calls.

So yes, a small sign of gratitude would be appropriate. It certainly isn’t expected, given her anti-police stance.


I couldn't believe she didn't even bother to include a single sentence thanking the police who helped her.

I’m making comments about her qualifications, not anyone’s appearance.

I knew I couldn't support her when I came across a video of her where she seems absolutely crazed and unhinged, repeatedly screaming, "Trans women are women!" in front of the Supreme Court. It's all about performance and virtue signaling with her. The county will be worse off due to her time on the Council.

My favorite part is when she’d show up to every neighborhood event in her election golf cart…I’m pretty sure we weren’t far away from her showing up at childrens birthday parties and thanking the children for attending her event.

Also, the weird thing where she actually posted about how her husband encountered someone with a yard sign supporting her opponent and went to speak with them about it…and then encouraged people in the neighborhood to do the same. What kind of weird reeducation effort was that?

The only thing I am shocked by in this situation is that she didn’t demand a photo op with the tire and blame it all on racism.


I remember when she posted on the neighborhood listserv about a bunch of her campaign signs being stolen - and how much it upset her kids.


I believe that she won a Tony Award for that performance.
