Tim Walz 
#ourguy
Kamala Harris' freshly minted veep pick, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, was once arrested for drunk driving after he was pulled over for driving more than 40 mph above the speed limit.
Walz, 60, who was 31 at the time and working as a teacher in Alliance, Neb., was caught on police radar driving his silver Mazda 96 mph in a 55 zone just before midnight Sept. 23, 1995.
When the trooper approached his window, he detected "a strong odor of alcoholic beverage" emanating from the vehicle, court documents show.
After flunking a field sobriety test, he submitted to a breath test, which pegged his blood-alcohol level at 0.128%, well above the state's legal limit of 0.08%.
Walz was arrested and taken to Dawes County Jail. He was given a blood test, but those results could not be immediately confirmed.

Let's speak the truth: people are protesting because Black people have been treated as less than human in America. Out country has never fully addressed the systemic racism that has plagued our country since its earliest days.
