Do what they do in Canada; send them “We Love You” cards. That’ll shame them.

Social workers to be sent on 911 calls was a suggestion (not a joke-—it was.)

So try giving a carnation and a little book of Hare Krishna chants. Will give a chance for a wild-eyed husband on meth swinging a butcher knife toward his estranged wife to think twice./s

Or a Marianne Williamson and Oprah mindfulness booklet along with vibes of gratitude.

I wonder if organized crime bosses are suppressing laughter and planning on moving in full force.

I think more public signs and more schooling with a priority on reading comprehension would be the humane way to go...

That way...signs like..... “NO TRESSPASSING—VIOLATORS WILL BE SHOT ON SIGHT”..........or....”RESISTING ARREST IS PUNISHABLE BY UP TO 10 YRS IN JAIL OR 1-10 BULLET HOLES IN YOUR WORTHLESS CARCASS

“THINK RESPONSIBLY”

My gut is to say they deserve what they get but another side says these lawless cities,towns and areas need to be taken over by the true law.

“We have to be getting at the causes of crime."

Human garbage has preference for more gooder shiite but no intention whatsoever to work.

Maybe Napalm would work. It could support the protests by burning down business as well as eliminate the looters at the same time

They want to make people feel safer, not necessarily make you safer.

They just want people to think they care, but they don’t.

Gee Minneapolis has been in the control of liberal Democrats for close to four decades you would think social utopia would have been achieved by now. I am reminded of Vladimir Voinovich’s novel “Moscow 2042” where a time traveler to a future Soviet Russia is told that true communism will not have been achieved until primary matter (food) equals secondary matter (feces). Minneapolis has been turned into a feces pile perhaps socialist utopia is just around the corner.

What would make many people feel safer is if guys like that would resign.

Maybe his heart is in the right place, but a key component with leftists is they are often completely unable to grok cause and effect. Or they invert things backwards.

Crime causes poverty, not necessarily the other way around. He also uses rhetorical tricks and verbal sleight of mouth, as if it’s an either/or type of thing or wants to equivocate or negotiate “Yes we need armed police ... BUT (insert nonsense here)

Embrace the power of “and”. We’ve heard all this same stuff, same arguments for at least 50 or 60 years. If he doesn’t want to do his job, he needs to find another line of work, simple as that.
