Mayor Fred Heidmann of Nisswa, Minnesota has a long history of courting controversy with ill-advised, often racially-charged comments.

On Tuesday, September 1, however, he was arrested for pushing his vitriol a bit too far at the absolute wrong moment.


After seeing a pair of police officers searching a car, Heidmann began an angrily confrontation which culminated in his calling the officers a couple of "f*cking dinks." The officers then arrested the Mayor.

Twitter couldn't help but snicker at Heidmann's misfortune.

Heidmann reportedly approached the officers angrily, snapping:

"You guys are emptying his f*cking car out on the road. What the hell are you guys up to? Don't you guys have something better to do, like patrol the goddamn streets?"

The officers asked Heidmann to leave, but he still had some choice words to share.

"You know what? I'm the mayor of this f*cking town, and you guys get the hell off our highway out here."
"You'd think up in this area we'd have some decent f*cking cops. You're as bad as the f*cking dinks down in Minneapolis."


Heidmann then left the scene as the officers asked, only to return later with more harsh words, at which point the officers arrested him.

The Mayor told The Dispatch he was worried "what impression this was making with the hundreds of vacationing families going by seeing what appeared to be tourists having their goods rifled through."


Many online called for Heidmann's resignation.



It seems Heidmann's public image has been ever so slightly tainted.


It seems these officers weren't swayed by Heidmann's mayoral powers.


This incident serves as yet another reminder that you should never call anyone "f*cking dinks." It's just rude!

Melania Just Held A Bizarre Press Conference To Debunk 'False Smears' Related To Jeffrey Epstein—And Everyone Had The Same Response

First Lady Melania Trump had everyone thinking the same thing after she held a bizarre press conference on Thursday to deny that she had anything but casual ties to Jeffrey Epstein, the late disgraced financier, pedophile, sexual abuser, and sex trafficker.

Mrs. Trump publicly denied any ties to convicted sex offenders Epstein and his procurer Ghislaine Maxwell, saying claims linking her to Epstein are “lies” meant to damage her reputation. She said she met her husband, President Donald Trump at a New York City party in 1998 and did not meet Epstein until 2000, contradicting a witness statement in the Epstein files that alleges Epstein introduced the couple.

Dem Rep. Sarah McBride Perfectly Shames Nancy Mace For Her Transphobic Response To McBride's Condemnation Of Trump

Delaware Democratic Representative Sarah McBride pushed back at South Carolina Republican Representative Nancy Mace after Mace responded with transphobia to McBride's criticism of President Donald Trump's genocidal threat to kill the "whole civilization" of Iran.

Trump has insisted that God supports his war on Iran and declared—before a provisional ceasefire was announced—that "a whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again" ahead of a deadline to bomb Iran’s power plants and bridges that legal scholars and world leaders have said would constitute war crimes.

Comedian Explains How Millennials' Midlife Crises Are Different From Past Generations—And He's Spot On

Don't make promises you cannot keep, unless your goal is to hurt someone.

Millennials know that practically better than anyone. They were fed a long and impassioned series of advice, hyper-focused on the importance of getting a college degree in order to find a good job. They were also force-fed traditionalist ideals of getting married, having kids, and buying a nice house with the money they'd be making from that great job, of course.
