Joseph A. Gangi. Attorney for Michael Johnson 507-625-2525:
Does or doesn't your client Michael Johnson plan in filing a criminal complaint against pistol packing Minnesota Animal Humane Society Humane Agent Keith Streff for impersonating a peace officer and wearing a pistol into the Watanwon County Courthouse on 04-19-19 without the proper authority? Hmm? Inquiring minds want to know, don't they?

P.S. Did you know that every single time that I contacted the plaintiff's attorney for 27-CV-20-8908 that magically and mysteriously the attorney for Minnesota Animal Humane Society dropped their motion for Summary Judgment?

How To Conduct A Successful Animal Cruelty Investigation II. The Investigator: A. Image: (A profile of a good humane investigator) 1. Know Your Authority and Jurisdiction: Under Minnesota State Statutes, a humane investigator has little more power than a private citizen regarding the enforcement of State Statutes.

A. They threatened to take the most important thing in my life. And you have three - - three officers coming in and even an officer that’s armed just like them. Very - - very unexpected. It just - - just just extremely intimidating and I’m ashamed to say it cause if I would have known today - - if I would have known then what I know today it wouldn’t have been the same. They couldn’t have bullied and intimidated me if I would have know today - - or known then what I know today; how bad it is.
Q. I am going to come back to that. When you say “armed like them”, who do you mean?
A. Mr. Streff was - - looked just like he did today. Just like a peace officer with his - - euipped just like a - - like any other deputy. But it’s - -
Q. And how about - - how about Deputy Slater and Sargant Gulden?
A. The same. They were - -
Q. Did they have a side arm with them?
A. Yeah, Yeah, they all did.
Q. And a badge - - badge on?
A. Yeah.
Q. They were in uniform?
A. Yes, they were.
Q. You said you felt intimidated. Why?
A. They came on right from the beginning bullying and badgering and I didn’t - - I didn’t - - I haven’t hid the fact from anyone that I have some bad feet. But they - - I didn’t try to to hide it on the tapes. I didn’t try to cover up from anybody. I didn’t lie to them. I didn’t - - they could have asked me if - - why I killed Adolf Hitler and I’d a said I had to. I didn’t know if I was foot or horseback that day. I didn’t
have a clue with the threatening and badgering and it was on and on like that. And it was the speaking, the gestures, everything that they did. I love my ponies. And when they threatened like that, you’ll hear someplace in there where I say that it’s the most important thing next to my family. Well, it’s the third most important thing to me. There’s God, there’s my family and there’s my ponies. And when I told - - when I told Mr. Slater in that tape that I would feel better of he shot me, I wasn’t lying. That was very true. They don’t have a clue, You can have all the experts in the world, but if you want to see a horse in pain, that grey horse that they show for their Rowdy, that grey stud that they show for their poster child, with all the nasty pictures they have, you don’t have a clue what pain is until you’ve seen a bad farrier trim them.
