MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. - In the dead of the cold, late night on Tuesday, a young Somali man was shot in the hip. Someone took him to the local trauma center, left him there, and drove off.
The man told police at his bedside that he didnt know who shot him, who took him to the hospital, or why he was targeted. Im intoxicated, he told cops, while doctors tended his wound, before insisting he didn't know anything else about what happened.
For the attending police officers, it was a frustrating, albeit familiar, response from a member of the Somali community, whose support in November sent one of their own, Rep. Ilhan Omar, to Congress. While Omar has spoken out frequently and forcefully on a range of issues - some that seem little connected to her district - most members of the Somali community she represents remain far more insular.
The national epidemic of shootings involving young African-American men in America's cities certainly isn't unique to Minneapolis. But some officers here believe issues of cultural assimilation involving the Somali immigrant community, and a struggle on both sides to better communicate law enforcement's mandate to protect and serve, makes it a particularly imposing challenge. One that politicians like Omar, they say, could do much more to effectively address.
When they come here, they come with their own experiences of not trusting the police, and from a place where the police are known to be corrupt. And the challenge for us lies in trying to get them to cooperate, said one law enforcement officer. Theyll often call 911 when they need help. But when we come, they often wont then tell us who is causing the problem so we can take action or stop the crime from happening again.

No, they weren’t. They were brought in by the Minneapolisans.
Don’t confuse Minnesota with Minneapolis. They are two different worlds.
I have questions about Omar The Tent Lady also. How many legitimately registered voters are there in her district? How many votes were cast in her district? How many legal citizens? I would bet that these questions could be asked of nearly all dem districts. And I thiMk I know the answers.
It was Cambodians and Vietnamese before. No one moved to Minnesota. Too cold. They leave so the politicians bring unsuspecting foreigners in... : )

The average IQ in Somalia is 68.

More immigrants mean declining US average, of course.
China is near the top with 108.
Close the borders and deport the criminal welfare bum immigrants. Now.

GHW Bush began the importation of Somalis.
His “adopted” son Clinton and his son George W. continued it.
Obama did too, but most of them were already there.

Pin the tail on the Muslim ***.
Leftist democrats have literally shipped the enemy to live right next to us. What is the point of all these foreign wars which try to keep the war against islam an ‘away game’ if the leftist democrats ship the islamic soldier into the US to kill us slowly?

As I remember Bush I was “stampeded” into Somalia & allowing in “refugees” by the constant showing of the Somalia Crisis (Somalia Clan Wars) on TV with the accompanying starvation (TV pics of starving babies!). Then add in the constant caterwauling “Bush & Republicans are racist if we don’t intervene!” by the Congressional Black Caucus. In short the race card was going full tilt and Bush I’s reaction was that of just a another typical Republican cowering in the corner from the use of the card. Yes Bush was weak on this but so was every Republican in their reaction to “the card”.
“The card” has only recently expired - lost its sting! Over played & people are sick of hearing it. It still works on some GOP’ers who are advised by beltway establishment types. However the trend is against them now,
Her district is Minneapolis. Almost 70% white. Blame the dodos.
Minnesota and Michigan are now muslim states.
Theyll often call 911 when they need help. But when we come, they often wont then tell us who is causing the problem so we can take action or stop the crime from happening again.
That is often the case for black and Hispanic perps. The minority neighborhoods will often protect them from the police.
I thought alcohol was haram!
How many times does the Rosenberg’s have to flip in their grave? WE NEED A SPECIAL COMMISSION AND INDICTMENTS DATING BACK TO THE BEGINING OF THE IMPOSTERS TERM TO THE PRESENT!
I dont know very much about what kind of people Somalis are. And I dont trust the opinions of white Europeans, either. I wonder what other Africans from Africa think...I wonder if we are getting Africas best and brightest people.
“So little farm communities found themselves being run by a bunch of illiterate savages.”

It took more than just the voters in the MN 5th District to elect Minnesota’s new attorney general...
Ditto in Nebraska.
The adoring media helped him all the way.
