Minneapolis will always be led by ‘rats. But even the local media was decrying the lack of leadership and action.

The suburbs are part of the “Twin Cities” metro area.

Shouldn’t have to be any hand to hand. Bean bag guns, rubber bullets, water cannons, dogs.

I guess they are poorly trained in more areas than subduing a forger.

So they chose to lose the battle and some how expect to win the next one. Draw the line and if they cross that line with weapons in their hands it should be DRT, dead right there.

If you have two in the terrorists front lines instigating and throwing things at the cops then run a quick strike in, grab those instigators and haul them off to prison and charge them with domestic terrorism.

Standing back and being targets or withdrawing and just letting them win is a flat guarantee that they will continue to riot, destroy their city, attack cops, and win.

It seems that Hil LIAR y and Obama have convinced the stupid ignorant masses that the rule of law can and will be withdrawn if you can claim your armed, violent, terrorist,riots, are over a race issue.

Remember the cops involved in the murder were democrats represented by a declared democrat union, the rioters/terrorists, are democrats, the mayor is a democrat, members of the city council are democrats, this is from beginning to end a democratic play and all of the players are democrats.

So now we know how things always turn out when the democrats are left unsupervised, they screw up everything and try to kill each other.

This soy-cuck mayor simply reflects Minnesotans. They are one and the same.

The Minneapolis voters deserve him (and Omar), just like the Venzuelans deserve Hugo Chavez and Maduro. F’em.

“It was either that or give Antifa the body count they lust for. Bad decisions four days ago left the city with no good options.”

Can you give an estimate of how many more police headquarters must be sacrificed in order to prevent casualties among the arsonists?

“1. The officers accused of the choking/killing, apparently did it.”

Note well the word apparently.

The summary of the autopsy already raises questions as to the cause of death.

I’m told a heart attack can cause shortness of breath - something Mr. Floyd was said to experience before going to the ground.

That depends on the law enforcement resources available, and on government’s determination and skill in putting them to use. It’s not smart to announce a curfew when you can’t or won’t enforce it, as that only advertises your powerlessness.

“The governor & police chief are blaming out of state white supremists for all of this.”
***************************************
Laughable.... but, sadly, some of the more gullible of the citizenry will actually believe it.

It's like I posted this morning:


What happened to all that he-man military equipment the police departments got after Obama left the Middle East?

I guess no Democrat governor wanted to have the mess of quelling a riot on their resumes?


No Democrat in authority EVER will authorize the use of force against anyone. They'd rather see the people burn down the city so they can blame Republicans for it while their citizens starve and freeze.

“That (how many more police headquarters must be sacrificed in order to prevent casualties among the arsonists) depends on the law enforcement resources available, and on government’s determination and skill in putting them to use.”

You just can’t seem to say that the use of reasonable force, including deadly force, is sometimes necessary to stop firebombings.

Problem identified.

Point well taken.

“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?”

You resented it when I asked the above question yesterday.

Now this: “Gov. Andrew Cuomo will ask State Attorney General Letitia James to investigate the NYPD’s conduct during Friday night’s “disturbing” clashes with protesters during anti-cop marches in Brooklyn sparked by the police custody death of George Floyd.”

“The AG would report back in 30 days on violence including one cop’s caught-on-video shoving of a demonstrator in Brooklyn, the governor said.”

You need to understand blue culture better.

Really glad this idiot mayor wasn’t leading things at the Alamo.
