The governor & police chief are blaming out of state white supremists for all of this.

Open a church or business, get arrested.

Burn a church or business, no problem.

One look at that idiot Frey and my instinct is to withhold all Federal aid, troops, etc…

Leftists love job-strangling lock-down and regulation, they love high taxes, they love government and hate private business, and above all they love promoting racial and social victimhood as a means to their power.

Now, surprise, everything they promote has come together to burn their own cities. F’ em.

Well if there is one good thing about these riots, they have pretty much knocked the COVID 19 scam out of the news. Funny how all the demands for social distancing, face masks and quarantines just vanished as soon as the protestors hit the streets and blatantly ignored them.

Just one look at this Mayor says it all.

This is why Trump needs to keep the Federal Government out of Minneapolis. Just let the experts like Frey handle everything, in a non-racist way. Show the world how hate can be overcome by total surrender.

I wonder what this asshat would have done at Breeds Hill.


You can bet your ass he’d be a Tory hiding in the root cellar.

Are you serious?
Do you know the evidence lost , the cases destroyed .
The weapons stolen .
The personal files stolen.
You are clueless of the damage taking over a police station means .

what a beta.....

why do all these leftist enclaves all vote for the same type of person?

SF, LA, NY, Seattle, Portland, Sacramento, Boise, etc. Your vote has consequences.

Democrat, Low Life, Failures, Deadbeats, Mayor, Jacob Frey, (Minneapolis) & Tim Walz Governor, Minnesota not only betrayed their City and State...they led with the message to the “Soros, Obama, Biden Democrat Party” criminal attacks on other USA cities, when they put their collective tails between their butts and ran like frightened “Deer” in the forest.

I mean...come on...have you heard one word from any noted Democrat about the massive destruction of businesses, public buildings and the ruining of thousands of minority small business people of all stripes. The Democrat Party scum and vermin Democrats are loving the destruction of the USA Nation Republic!!! However...America will live on and the Democrat Party will die, politically very soon!!! This whole gig looks rigged to me....I just cannot believe that three policemen stood by and watched an innocent man get murdered by one of their own, and they did absolutely nothing to stop the murder...quite strange.

The Democrat Party, led by Obama is desperate and “Desperate people do Desperate things”... Remember a gent name Flynn?

That’s chump change. Minneapolis has bigger problems right now.

Frey could have saved his police station if he’d been more resolute three days ago. Thursday night it was too late; the mob was too big and too emboldened by having had its way.

The Secret Service last night handled it well: deploy in strength, let the mob spend its energy, but don’t go on the offensive.

The Leninists who are behind this want to up the body count. That’s their mission, and they’re focused on it. That’s what will happen if police are overpowered and forced to self defend. If you don’t have the resources to hold the line and keep your people safe, you have to make a tactical retreat lest you suffer a strategic defeat. The third precinct was not the hill to die on.

Well said. All the governors have dead interpreters and I think half are making it up, like that guy when Obama was in South Africa. Give me Garrett Morris any day

Being outnumbered would have been irreverent if police had used the one advantage they had -- firearms. As soon as any shootings began, the location would have been secured.

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

Only two in 19 years resulted in discipline. Maybe letters in the file; don't know for sure.

The former-officer under arrest probably was stern. Not at all like the rest of the police force - and elected officials - who have cut and run and left the city to the mercy of the mobs.

When the mayor of Minneapolis gets trapped in his own burning house, he may wish for an officer Chauvin-type to respond to his call and clear a path for his escape.

“The third precinct was not the hill to die on.”

Can the same be said of Minneapolis?

Can anyone provide one good reason why a police officer should risk getting charged with excessive use of force to prevent Minneapolis, in its entirety, from being burned to the ground?
