The Minneapolis City Council, in an unbelievable move, given the powder keg on their doorstep, voted 11-1 to oppose the use of tear gas and other non-lethal munitions in response to civil disorder. It would be fair to wonder if someone dropped these 11 elected leaders on their heads as children. In the last 48 hours, we have had a sitting member of Congress, Representative Maxine Waters (D-Calif.), inciting violence if former officer Derek Chauvin is convicted of murder, and two National Guardsman injured in a drive-by shooting. The Chauvin trial is in closing arguments, and the jury is expected to begin deliberating with the threat of mob justice over their heads.
Luckily, this vote is, to some extent, worthless virtue signaling. Mayor Jacob Frey controls the Minneapolis Police Department, which he completely demoralized and ruined during last summer’s riots. Hopefully, he will ignore the insane members of the city council. Governor Tim Walz has activated 3,000 members of Minnesota’s National Guard in advance of the verdict, which is a significant improvement over his lag in doing so last year.

The City of Cucks.
We don’t need no water...
HANDICAPPEDPOLICE
The whole force, every officer, should resign.
Nelson killed it today with facts and the law
State playing on all emotion
July selection favors state because no older white males and half POC
Despite juror pool being 75 percent white
In other words Biden voters
Then it deserves to burn.
I’m sorry, but it does.
Minneapolis getting just what they voted for.
Good and Hard.
Hopefully, the entire Minneapolis Police force, and those of surrounding suburbs will walk out the moment the Verdict is announced.
Blue Flu.
so if tear gas and other non-lethal measures are prohibited the MPD, they will have no choice but to shoot first
a stupider city council is hard to imagine!
Guilty/Not Guilty/Hung Jury = Burn baby, burn. No way the city will NOT burn.
One needs to wonder what is in the water in those 1000 lakes?
What is that old song, burn baby burn, disco inferno?
My guess is many are looking elsewhere for policing positions.. At this point arresting anyone or stopping a crime in process means the cop will be put on trial
Perhaps they’re restraining the police in the hope that private citizens will engage in self-defense. You know, insurrection.
The police need to walk off the job then move to a Police friendly state. I would not live in a Democratic State or City.
Black citizens ... honest, lawful black citizens depend on the police to keep them safe... there could be a mini war in that Jury room
should call in sick or call a union meeting and demand the removal of the entire city council...
