Brooklyn Center Council Member Voted to Fire City Manager Because She Feared BLM Retaliation
Legal Insurrection ^ | 04/14/2021 | Stacey Matthews

“He was doing a great job. I respect him dearly. I didn’t want repercussions at a personal level,” Brooklyn Center Council Member Kris Lawrence-Anderson said of her vote to fire City Manager Curt Boganey.

As Mary reported earlier, Brooklyn Center, MN, saw a third night of the type of Antifa/BLM-led rioting and looting that occurred with regularity last year in the aftermath of George Floyd’s death.

But as local law enforcement tried in vain to quell the chaos that erupted on city streets in response to the officer-involved shooting death of 20-year-old Daunte Wright, a different kind of chaos involving city leaders was taking place behind the scenes.

Brooklyn Center’s City Manager Curt Boganey, who is black, was out of a job Monday after the City Council voted to fire him. Boganey’s 16-year employment with the city was terminated just a few hours after he publicly expressed disagreement with Mayor Mike Elliott during a press conference where both addressed the shooting:

You don't say?

The fired city manager had the temerity to publicly state that someone accused of a crime has the right to due process....in America.

How dare he.

Seems to me that city managers are just another way for spineless elected politicians to insulate themselves from the problems in their city.

What’s wrong with having a mayor and council make hard decisions?

I understand sometimes, when a city goes broke, they bring in a manager. Other than that... it seems wasteful.

People who cave in to spoiled, obnoxious thugs ought to be ashamed.

It’s past time someone dealt properly with those terrorists.

These cities and suberbs are destroying themselves.

They fear to stop the barbarians.
The United States has been paying “Dane-Geld” to far left progressives since the middle 1960s. As Kipling predicted, the situation has only gotten worse, much worse. Most of the Dane-Geld goes into the coffers of the anti-American leftists and cultural Marxists. They have become the enemy funded with our tax dollars.

I have modified Kipling's poem, for a parody which reflects the situation the progressives have placed us in:

Paying Progressive Dane-Geld

It is always a temptation to an entitled population
To call upon a neighbour and to say: —
“We rioted last night—we are quite prepared to fight,
Unless you pay us cash to go away.”

And that is called asking for Dane-geld,
And the people who ask it explain
That you’ve only to pay ‘em the Dane-geld
And then you’ll get rid of the Dane!

It is always a temptation,  with Orwellian dictation,
To puff and look important and to say: —
“You are oppressed. White men caused this mess.
We will pay you public cash to go away.”

And that is called paying the Dane-geld;
But we’ve proved it again and again,
That if once you have paid him the Dane-geld
You never get rid of the Dane.

It is wrong to put temptation to a youthful population,
For fear they should succumb and go astray;
So when you are requested to pay up or be molested,
You will find it better policy to say: —

“We never pay any-one Dane-geld,
No matter how trifling the cost;
For the end of that game is oppression and shame,
And the nation that pays it is lost!”

We have been paying Dane-Geld to progressive ideologists and cultural Marxists  for more than 50 years. The cost has been in the trillions. The damage done to our society, moral and Constitutional norms, is incalculable.  It must be stopped, before our nation is lost. We came very close to losing the nation.

Now, with the election of President Trump, who refuses to play the game, we have a chance to stop paying the Dane-Geld. The leftist run cities and states who have been using other peoples money to buy votes for 50 years, will insist the best thing to do, is to ramp up the Dane-Geld payments.

Who benefits from this the most? America's enemies, particularly the Chinese.

I thought it was the law breaking, insurrectionist, BLM who was supposed to fear LAW ENFORCEMENT and the corresponding legal consequences of their actions?

YES!!!! And Chauvins family should get tax-free money whilst he’s in prison until sanity comes back and I pray it will starting in 2022. Chauvin is the sacrificial lamb just like Ashli Babbitt. I hope her family rakes in millions!!!

City Managers have contracts with severance benefits, and that’s what he’ll get. He can be terminated for any reason.
