Three members of the Minneapolis City Council have been provided with a private security detail after receiving death threats for supporting proposals to defend the city’s police department in the wake of George Floyd’s killing.
A city spokesperson said the private security details ordered for council members Andrea Jenkins, Phillipe Cunningham and Alondra Cano have cost taxpayers $63,000 over the past three weeks – a rate of $4,300 per day.
News of the arrangement surfaced Friday, the same day the council voted 12-0 to abolish the Minneapolis Police Department, initiating steps toward establishing ‘peace officers’ and a new ‘holistic’ approach to public safety. The police force, which is largely white, has failed to regain the city’s trust after the death of Floyd. The new proposal would eliminate the existing police department and instead create a ‘department of community safety and violence prevention’.
While the measures have been welcomed by those protesting in the city’s streets and calling for the department to be ‘defunded’, many of the council members said they have received death threats from ‘white nationalists’ for publicly backing the proposal.

Yeah...ok...sure...
What private security firm in their right mind would take this contract? Are YOU willing to put your life on the line to protect these degenerates? Yeah, me neither.
‘Death Threats’ is the new ‘you’re as bad as Hitler’ accusation. Everybody’s gotten one and everybody claims to have gotten one to elicit sympathy.
‘defend the city’s police department‘...dam, doesn’t anyone proof read their shit anymore!
Does anyone here know a white nationalist?
There is always a reason to justify spending public funds when you have control of those funds. These folks look unprofessional and hypocritic.
“Are YOU willing to put your life on the line to protect these degenerates? Yeah, me neither.”
They won’t either, but they will take their money and haul ass when when shooting starts.
“”””Does anyone here know a white nationalist?””””
I am an uneducated deplorable. Can I be a white nationalist, too?
Probably hired black panthers both for protection and a way to funnel money to them.
I don’t doubt that they spent the money. I DO doubt that they got threats from ‘white nationalists’.
“”” after receiving death threats from ‘white nationalists’ “””
WOW-— That was quick.
If I read the headline correctly, the Minneapolis City Council has already determined exactly who made the death threats and that the people who made the threats are white nationalists..
Why would “white nationalists” support the police? Aren’t they supposed to be the major terror threat?
“ defend the city’s police department‘...dam, doesn’t anyone proof read their shit anymore!”
Why would white nationalists threaten someone who defends the Minny police dept? That makes no sense.
In other news, a herd of Unicorns was caught running through downtown Minneapolis.
Go take a look at how many new listings there are for homes in Minneapolis.
People have begun voting with their feet.
“White Nationalists”
Otherwise known as law-abiding, taxpaying citizens. And what makes them think they’re all white?
“Go take a look at how many new listings there are for homes in Minneapolis. People have begun voting with their feet.”
Unfortunately they’ll probably flee to Red States and keep voting the same dumb Democrat way.
Tax-payers angry that the police are being disbanded = “White Nationalists”
