Minneapolis leaders say added security around Chauvin trial won't infringe on peaceful protests

MINNEAPOLIS (FOX 9) - As the trial for one of the former Minneapolis police officers charged in George Floyd's death approaches, city leaders are promising security for the trial won't prevent peaceful demonstrations in the city.

There's been a noticeable increase in security around the Hennepin County Government Center over the past few weeks as the city and state partners prepare for the start of Derek Chauvin's trial.

"We know that with the beginning of this trial, it also means an increasing number of protests," said Mayor Frey.

City leaders say they know the heavily fortified Hennepin County Government Center, with multiple layers of fencing and barricades and barbed wire, looks daunting. But, they want community members to know it’s not there to stop protests and demonstrations. It's to prevent a repeat of last spring's riots.

If this goes the way I think it will, we’re looking at two 1-term mayors and a 1-term governor.

Could it be an insurrection?

It will be during the daytime. So yes.

It will not be against a Federal building, So no. You can burn down any building you want but as long as it isn’t owned by the Feds, it is not an insurrection.

peaceful protest

Is that the kind where buildings get burnt to a crisp--or the kind where bystanders get beaten up and stomped on...?

This is like the old days. A trial of a hated race, the courthouse surrounded by a mob the local government quietly approves of.

https://www.tshaonline.org/handbook/entries/sherman-riot-of-1930

This happened in the past a lot when a black guy would be accused of rape. They’d surround the courthouse to try for a lynching.
Nothing new under the sun.

Every decent cop should spend that thousand bucks or so and create a new emergency identity with passport, birth cert, drivers license, and a couple of credit cards.
Get a few thousand in cash and put a little more in Bitcoin.

Let it sit there. When an emergency happens you will only have a matter of 24 hours or less to recognize your life is no longer viable and to hit the road. A black hoodie and a coronavirus mask is your friend. Put your cell phone in a zip lock bag on a semi-truck at the local truck stop. The faster you can leave the country the better.

Facts of life in an authoritarian nation. Sad when a cop needs an E&E kit. Sadder to spend decades or even life in prison as a political prisoner where you are likely to be murdered.

Don’t forget, the autopsy showed druggy George Floyd died of too many drugs.

The thing that triggered these riots was the MSM reporting of the Floyd demise and spiking the facts behind his condition at the time. Because of that getting those facts out are desperately needed

The democrat controlled media racist killing reporting was a deliberate miss portraying of the six foot seven inch 200 plus pound Floyd as an innocent black who was being forceably restrained because he was black not because he was resisting arrest.When He was legitimately arrested for passing a counterfeit $20 dollar bill he was resisting arrest and was a threat if not secured. But the media was not mentioning his size or reporting that Floyd was removed from a squad car because he was acting up under the influence of drugs and also later was discovered to have COVID 19. Which suggests his physical condition may have led to his death which the media turned into a murder change and a charge of serious abuse by police because of police efforts that were tried to get him who under control.

If Obama had urged blacks to believe in the justice system and comply with the police would we be confronting his use of creating racial division now ?
The results of politically induced miss reporting incidents where blacks have resisted legitimate arrest began to be used earlier during and after the post Zimmerman trial, then on to the Ferguson episode. Obama’s abuse of the “Bully Pulpit” which seemed to promote resistance to legitimate arrest led to black gangs attacking non blacks found innocently traversing black neighborhoods and to a score of murders or life changing injuries and later attacks of theft and vandalism on local businesses as well as attacks and murders of police officers during that period

I doubt very much that any of the cops can get a fair trial. There is no way to assemble a jury that hasn’t been tainted, and even if you could, there’s no way to prevent the jury from being intimidated.

As they say, it’s a matter of 13 1/2 — 12 jurors, 1 judge, half a chance.
