I don't know how recent this sting is, but the info was released in the last few days. They arrested 30 people, but some of the guys were "normal guys". Arrested parties included an IT worker for Hennepin County, a Metro Transit law-enforcement civilian employee, a Minneapolis "coffee director," and a high-security Department of Defense background checker. So the Bloomington Police Department put out a video, but I cannot include a link because of names. But they did a somewhat "funny" skit at the beginning of the video. Go to their YT channel to see it.
I have to admit it was kind of funny when he complained that they could have arrested a lot more except that people were saying they must be ICE on social media and warning others away.
...out of the playbook from the Florida sheriff that is always getting a lot of social media clicks with his pressers. I've said it before, playing in Bloomington is a risky decision. Even if you don't get busted, good chance your being watched and documented as possibly participating.
It's not even safe anymore to park a block away and leave the cell phone in the car.
When I first saw the video, I thought it sounded like that sheriff in Florida. Since I'm on that subject, some CD attorneys don't like the sheriff for what he is doing.
I still wonder why some go to that city after all that has happened there over the past 30 years. I'm going to include SW too. A number got caught and lost it all. I think that I went there once in the past 25 years.
A bit surprised this wasn't an underage sting. Bloomington PD went after regular Johns this time. . Waste of taxpayer dollars going after consenting adults.
Jimmy dean must be happly, they use his breakfast sandwiches as a way to solicit confessions. "You can talk or eat Jimmy Deans for the next month!!! Whats it going to be?"
I’ll be honest, I found the tone more unsettling than anything else. If this is serious law enforcement work, then treat it seriously. These are grown adults and you arrested them. That’s the consequence. Turning it into a comedy skit for YouTube views feels unnecessary.
If we’re talking about exploitation, trafficking, minors... please, go all in. But when it’s consenting adults, the theatrical humiliation piece feels performative. They’ve already been arrested. Names are public. Careers may be impacted, families will see it, and the YT video will live on. That’s heavy enough without layering on punchlines.
I understand deterrence and public messaging. I just don’t love the “I don’t care, this is funny” vibe from someone in a position of authority.
Now, I will admit... the “big booty Latinas” line caught me off guard and I cackled. I had a human moment. It was absurd in that way only internet-adjacent commentary can be.
But overall? If you’re going to wield power, wield it with some gravity. It doesn’t have to be cruel to be effective.
I've seen them on Skip The Games when Senator Eichorn got caught up in the underage sting. I was curious to see what it was they posted so I read the official complaint and in the complaint was what the advertisement said word for word so I searched for that on Skip The Games and ListCrawler and it was posted in both locations.
According to the criminal complaint it was a variation of this in the advertisements they used
[emoji] cum $pend time with me [emoji] Age: 18 I am: A woman I see: Men only Hi I’m [fictitious name] ready to plz I do both [emoji] and [emoji] incall only
please keep in mind that this was for an underage sting operation and not for a regular of age sting operation that this ad was used for.
I have posted a link to the screenshot I took from the advertisement before it was taken down.
I've also added a link to the official DOJ criminal complaint for that case as well. It explains how 3rd party sites pick up the ads as well.
