Minneapolis Mayor Comes to Striking Conclusion That Defunding the Police Increased Crime
Red State ^ | 12 May 2021 | Brandon Morse

Ya don’t say?

Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey is a man who wanted his cake while eating it too. He wanted to kiss up to the Black Lives Matter movement tearing his city apart while simultaneously distancing himself from their more extreme asks such as “defund the police department.”

When that demand was made of him in the middle of a hostile crowd he had been kissing up to that day, to his credit, Frey said no, resulting in his being booed out of the area. What he did end up doing, however, is putting rules on the police that tied one hand behind their back.

As covered by CBS affiliate WCCO-TV, Frey threw down restraining orders against the Minneapolis PD which forced them to seek authorization from the chief when using crowd control weapons, including tear gas. With trained seals within the department’s leadership clapping along with this, and city council members openly planning to dismantle the Minneapolis police department, things were looking bad for the city.

No species in the animal family, willingly picks the dumbest and most incompetent member of the herd, to be the leader.

Leave that “giant step for mankind” to the Democrats.

Maybe we should deputize 4 times as many citizens and offer them incentives to maintain domestic tranquility, a chief purpose in drafting the Constitution.

Democrats are an embarrassment. They shouldn’t be running anything including a lemonade stand.

"No species in the animal family, willingly picks the dumbest and most incompetent member of the herd, to be the leader."

I tend to think that to be true, at least with mammals. There is usually an Alpha male or female in a herd, pack, pride, pod, etc. They just lead by authority given to them after maybe having a fight between two Alphas. They have no agendas, other than to lead and protect their own and maintain their leadership. Law of the jungle, sorta speak.

Think I'll do some research on the above.

I never though I would live to see stupidity reach this level. And i’m kind of old. These morons can’t figure out what cave dwellers knew in pre-history like the gender of a child.

Every day and in every way there is one word that always perfectly describes liberals.

Incompetence.

Name one area they don’t wreck through sheer incompetence.
