Minneapolis mayor booed out of protest after reportedly refusing to defund police

Minneapolis’ Democratic Mayor Jacob Frey was booed out of a protest on Saturday after reportedly refusing to back far-left calls to defund the Minneapolis Police Department -- a week after riots and looting tore through the city in the wake of George Floyd's death in police custody.

“Go home Jacob, go home,” the demonstrators yelled at the mayor, as others booed and chanted “Shame, shame, shame.”

The angry reaction from the crowd came after Frey said he did not back calls to defund the city's police force. He is seen walking away slowly as one protester gives him the middle finger and at least one object was thrown at him.

**SNIP**

But as protesters grow agitated at his answer, the unidentified leader demands a "yes or no" answer, saying: "We don't want no more police."

"I do not support the full abolition of the Minneapolis Police Department," Frey says.

“Thank you for calling the Minneapolis 9-1-1 system. Is your emergency for police, fire, or medical?”

“Police. I need to report a crime.”

“Please hold while I connect you with the mayor’s office.”

All in all it’s just another brick through the window...

How our society has fallen when a mayor is blamed for NOT defunding a police department? These people must want anarchy.

I think the cops should just say “The police department came up with a great solution to save money, and that is that we will no longer patrol, respond or arrest anyone in black neighborhoods.... until the black community begs us to come back, Oh and by the way, fire departments and paramedics will not enter into hot zones, so enjoy policing yourselve, putting out your own fires and driving yourselves to hospitals! Meanwhile we will still due our duty to patrol and protect everyone else.”

Liberal fools always learn the hard way about what happens when you compromise with real radicals. There is no compromise. You will do everything they demand or they will destroy you.

Now he’s had it no matter what he does.

Just find the addresses of those calling for the police to be defunded, and have the police NOT respond to any calls within ONE MILE in all directions, with a note to the affected neighbors explaining exactly whom is responsible.

Let the area residents look after the problem.

“Thank you for calling the Minneapolis 9-1-1 system. Is your emergency for police, fire, or medical?”

“Police. I need to report a crime.”

“Please hold while I connect you with DoorDash, to whom we are now farming out such calls. The Police Department has been defunded. Have a nice day.”
