Hand to hand? Have they taken away the cops’ firearms and ammunition?

Of course. The MSM will now focus on the race of the rioters and try to imply these white supremacists are right wingers and racists.

Mayor Jacob Frey of Minneapolis will never be mistaken for the late, great General Douglas McArthur or great fighter General George Patton. How come all of these places that defend so poorly are run by Liberal Democrats? Get tough and fight (and arrest the bad ones). STRENGTH!

Jackson cop is placed on leave after video emerges showing him with his hands wrapped around a suspect’s neck as onlookers yell ‘he can’t breathe’

BLACK COP, BLACK PREP PRIORS.

Asphyxiation not the cause of George Floyd’s death: Autopsy EXISTING HEART, CORONARY DISEASE

Asphyxiation not the cause of George Floyd’s death: Autopsy Asphyxiation not the cause of George Floyd’s death: Autopsy
George Floyd died Monday from a combination of preexisting health conditions exacerbated by being held down by Minneapolis officers, not from strangulation or asphyxiation, based on the medical examiner’s initial report.
Preliminary findings from a Tuesday autopsy conducted by the Hennepin County Medical Examiner found “no physical findings that support a diagnosis of traumatic asphyxiation or strangulation,” according to the criminal complaint filed Friday against former officer Derek Michael Chauvin.
“Mr. Floyd had underlying health conditions including coronary artery disease and hypertensive heart disease,” said the complaint from the Hennepin County Attorney. “The combined effects of Mr. Floyd being restrained by police, his underlying health conditions and any potential intoxicants in his system likely contributed to his death.”
The Minneapolis police officer fired earlier this week was charged Friday with third-degree murder and manslaughter after kneeling on Mr. Floyd’s neck for 8 minutes and 46 seconds. Video showed he was unresponsive for the last 2 minutes and 53 seconds.
“Police are trained that this type of restraint with a subject in a prone position is inherently dangerous,” the complaint said.

In other words, his officers are only permitted to stand up to hapless drunk black guys who can’t even stand up...or perhaps to people trying to attend church or cut hair...

Are the Democrats trying to recreate 1968? Impeachment didn’t work. The Wuhan Flu isn’t working. I guess it’s back to race cards and riots for the RATS. The elected RATS are staying quiet about all the looting and mayhem because it’s their people doing this sh*t and they know it! Trump should take a page out of Nixon’s 1968 election playbook and make law and order a major theme in the campaign. It will strike a chord with many common sense thinking Democrats and independents! The left is completely unhinged and out of control.

Frey was right to give up the precinct. The professional agitators inciting riots desperately want one of their useful idiots to die in a confrontation, to move this rebellion to the next level. Make no mistake: this is about regime change in America. These people are Bolsheviks aiming to tear up the constitution. Frey has handled this badly, but was right to deny the mob the martyr they seek.

What you do, curly, is order the cops to shoot anyone who is setting fire to a building, or who is physically attacking a human, or has just done so.

In a riot situation there is no time to apprehend and take into custody. You shoot them. Those throwing firebombs should have been shot. Those who beat up other people should have been shot.

That way the professional agitators and agents provocateurs will not be able to go on to the next gig and start trouble there too.

So Minneapolis is in ruins. I guess the curfew didn’t work. Looks like the lockdown is over. This will end when there are no more stores to loot, no more office buildings to torch, and no more little old ladies in wheelchairs to attack.

Those photos should be titled:

“The ultimate result of continually electing democrats into office”

Last time they had a Republican Mayor was 50 years ago. This is yet another area where Democrats have ZERO accountability, no threat of losing elections and they end up doing NOTHING but collecting paychecks and pay under the table, and one day the sheit hits the fan like what we have here.

What was a cop with 24 complaints against him still doing on the force? ZERO accountability. Imagine keeping any other job in the private sector where you have 24 complaints against you. Just ONE would be enough to get your ass canned.

It’s NO coincidence whatsoever that almost all these killings by cops happen in areas where Democrats rule unopposed. Baltimore, NYC, Los Angeles on and on and these mofos try to blame Trump?

And these protestors, 17 blacks were killed in 2019 by cops while 7,487 were killed by black on black crime created by the Democrat welfare Holocaust yet NONE of these hypocrites protest that do they.

But if a business was trying to open up in violation of the lockdown, the cops would be out in force.

Doesn’t the Mayor have a hacky sack game to attend to?

As long as the so called leaders take this kind of a stance then things are going to get much worse. There were no consequences for this destructive behavior. But then these riots were exactly what these leaders wanted. Anything to blame on Trump and win an election. They will also be asking for a lot of federal money.

The cop being blamed (regardless of his guilt) had so many prior claims against him it begs the question of why he was still on the force.

18 conduct complaints is not very many in a 19 year career. I have talked to officers, who said their supervisor told them if they did not get any complaints, he would wonder if they were doing their jog.

That said, the exact nature of the complaints matter.

But 18 in 19 years seems a little low for the type of area he was working in.
