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!

Rob Schneider Dragged For Criticizing Elizabeth Banks' 'Dangerous Rhetoric' After She Called Out White Female Trump Voters

After actor and filmmaker Elizabeth Banks—who played Effie Trinket in The Hunger Games—called out white women who voted for President Donald Trump, MAGA actor Rob Schneider lashed out against what he referred to as her "dangerous rhetoric."

Those who've read the book and seen the film adaptation of The Hunger Games know that Trinket—known for joyfully announcing, "Happy Hunger Games and the odds may be ever in your favor!"—is a mistress of propaganda for a hostile government that forces teenagers to fight to the death every year to intimidate critics and keep society's poorest and most vulnerable in line. Trinket eventually embraces the rebellion.

Trump's Border Czar Ripped For Hypocrisy After Telling Pope Leo To 'Stay Out Of Politics'

President Donald Trump's border czar Tom Homan was called out for hypocrisy after telling Pope Leo XIV to "stay out of politics" after he clashed with Trump over the widely unpopular war in Iran.

Last week, Pope Leo criticized the war and called on the world "to reject war, especially a war which many people have said is an unjust war, which is continuing to escalate and is not resolving anything."
