Suing the city is really suing yourself, these criminals running it are free and clear of any wrong doing or punishment for their actions. THIS IS THE PROBLEM

Don’t be surprised if Trump flips 100k votes around the city of Minneapolis. Biden might still marginally win in the city, but state-wise, it’ll be 200k-plus votes for Trump over 2016 results....enough to beat Biden. Then the blame really goes back to the destruction of the city, and defund-the-police chatter.

The are suing public officials to do the job taxpayers are paying them to do. The Minneapolis city charter requires a certain level of police per resident (I think it is one police officer per 150 residents.) Regardless of the exact number, the city council has to maintain a police force.

Cops in Minneapolis are pretty inert right now. All they are doing is putting chalk lines around the bodies, because that way they don’t annoy the politicians and the press.

“The are suing public officials to do the job taxpayers are paying them to do.”

I understand that reaction completely - provided the plaintiffs are actually taxpayers.

The real way to deal with this is to vote the Marxists out.

That is only a temporary solution. It's not a real solution at all. They always come back.

Other than the fact they're half stupid and half insane? Or, maybe it's 60% stupid and 40% insane. Or, maybe it's 30% stupid and 70% insane. Or, maybe........
