snip...”When I read this Thursday night, I thought to myself: Imagine what kind of city Minneapolis could be if it wasn’t spending that much of its tax dollars on policing. What if Minneapolis had invested that money in homes for the unhoused? In medicine for the sick? In public health officials to help with infectious disease? In food for the hungry? What if Minneapolis put its police budget towards the very resources which would make policing as presently practiced unnecessary? What if every city did the same?”

Why even have LE or police stations in blue states?

The only times it was proportionate was when the IDF destroyed Palestinian “Authority” police stations for aiding Intifada terrorists.

Now in the U.S. we have the Antifada terrorists. Some States would be wise to hire Israeli security experts to advise them.

This professor at Northwestern Un. (where Bernadine Dohrn, the Marxist psychopathic named cop-killer, also worked), is just as much as psychopath as Dohrn and her husband Bill Ayres, Weathermen leaders.

I wonder if a student who burned down his house because he was charging too much for his journalism classes, could use the same rational to be acquitted of his crimes.

I knew that Northwestern Un. had become a haven for Marxists but I didn’t know that they had to be psychopaths as well.

>> mass protest against police violence after the lynching of George Floyd

He wasn’t lynched

But these rioters ARE going out to beat down “some people” who have done nothing wrong. And they don’t play by established rules. Skateboard to the head, stomping on a man’s head while he is on the ground. Assaulting women, using weapons to assault women, using weapons to assault handicapped women in wheelchairs.

“... Whether or not they are actually killing or beating somebody, police are always threatening the use of lethal violence (mostly at the poor, disproportionately at Black and other nonwhite people), and that is a form of violence itself”

Hey, I never get hassled by the cops because of my pleasant behavior towards them they just figure “He knows better” and I do.

When you are an A-hole with an attitude your gonna play the game 20 questions as they interview you further to see if you require further investigation and sometimes they lose their cool

Most of them are good guys trying to do a good job.

Let’s not hassle them because you may call 911 one day and that will be ironic

There is a nugget of truth inside all this BS, and that’s the explosion of violence that was created by the forced lockdown. Tempers are short and the people are increasingly questioning the motives of the government.

The idea that COVID is disproportionately killing African-Americans isn’t true. It is disproportionately killing the elderly and nursing home residents instead. That is beyond dispute.

The order the police protect and sustain is an order in which needed resources remain in the hands of the few.

I stopped there.

Not that this idiot has ever thought anything through. But does he realize that the evidence room is in these police building along with open cases.

The torching of one police station allows rapist, pedophiles, sexual traffickers, and murderers to go free. Also, allows the ones already to convicted to request new trials and get set free from lack of evidence. Then their are the cold cases that will never get solved.
