Former City Council member and current school board candidate Don Samuels is taking heat for calling the cops on a hot dog giveaway organized by Neighborhoods Organizing for Change on a sidewalk right outside its north Minneapolis headquarters at 911 W. Broadway Ave.
Samuels says he thought the hot dogs were being sold illegally by a group without a license to sell food. In fact, however, the dogs were given away as part of NOC's "impromptu pledge-to-vote barbecue," as a post on the organization's Facebook page puts it.
Here's video of a cop arriving at the scene and giving folks a hard time about whether the dogs were being distributed for money or in an attempt to "elicit votes." Note how the officer confirms he's there because of a 911 call made by Samuels: (video at link)
And here's a sampling of what people have had been saying about the video and Samuels's decision to call the cops on Facebook:
