The video was posted by TikTok user Megan Toivonen (@megantoivonen). We reached out to Dasean Toivonen, her husband, in regards to the incident.
He told us that the law enforcement vehicle was setting up for a police chase that was underway. An orange cone also appeared to fall out of the open trunk. After he backed up over the spike strip, a tow truck hauled the police SUV away.
Toivonen said he wasn’t sure “what department the car belonged to either as it appeared to be undercover.”
We reached out to the City of Minneapolis Police Department, and they told us that the vehicle did not belong to them. Further, they said the department doesn’t use spike strips.

Drive towards decentralising the police [opinion]

OBVIOUSLY inspired by South West’s Amotekun and North’s Shege Ka Fasa, South East’s Ebube-Agu would sooner or later trigger South-South’s peculiar security outfit. In the meantime, while we await that unshakeable expectation, it’s indeed becoming clearer and clearer – perhaps oblivious to the great Nigerian government – that the country is practically gradually moving towards what’s obtainable in the so-called First World nations in terms of a decentralised policing architecture.
Indeed, the journey of a thousand miles begins with a single indelible step. I could see Nigeria in the making of a polity in the same pedestal of competitive classical democracies, say in the U.S., or in the U.K., and, of course, the creation of regional policing is a benchmark for such unmistakable classification and calculation.
