After the brutal killing of a Black man went viral and triggered national protests, Minneapolis police underwent an abrupt shift: Officers began making fewer traffic stops, drug and gun checks, Reuters found. With the city engulfed in violence, citizens ask: Where are the police?

Get it? Crime went UP because POLICE made fewer traffic stops and drug and gun checks.

QED: The police are responsible for rising crime.

Saint George died of a self-induced fentanyl overdose.

Too bad. So sad.

Attention Police. DO NOT Arrest anyone darker than Johnny or Edgar Winter. It's not worth your job or your life. Your Supervisors, Administrators, Mayors, and Governors will throw you under the bus. They will try to appease the Mobs of Feral Animals and you will be offered up as a sacrifice. If Johnny or Edgar Resist Arrest let them go! Smile and wave Goodbye.

Don't worry about the innocent civilian who might be robbed, raped, or murdered. They would be with the mob calling for your head if you used force. Retire if you can. Quit if you can. Ride around with Radio Off and Blinders on if you have to. Those of us who support you can defend ourselves and what is ours. The Feral Animals will thin out the weak and Snowflakes eventually.

Be Safe Brothers.

>>With the city engulfed in violence, citizens ask: Where are the police?<<

You defunded, defanged and disrespected them. No one in their right mind will go into a situation where no matter what you do you get crapped on.

The ONLY sane answer is: “let ‘em kill each other.”

George Floyd died of fentanyl he tried to hide in his own butt. He killed what little credibility America’s “press” might have had, on his way out.

Demerats are constantly sticking pool cue’s up their own a$$ and then complaining everyone else isnt doing enough to ease their pain, or why everyone else doesn’t have a stick up their a$$ too. Sheese, mpls residents will gladly help you insert a free government supplied pool cue up your a$$. Just live their 2 days and the neighborhood watch will stop by with approved pool cue’s. Hell, they hand them out at the airport for people just passing thru!!

Wrong association.

It wasn’t Floyd’s death that caused the police to pull back from enforcement. It was the lack of support from the politicians and the rush to judgement.

Kudos to the Minneapolis officer who asks in his radio call back to headquarters if the perp is light-skinned enough to stop.

Get it? Crime went UP because POLICE made fewer traffic stops and drug and gun checks.

Not only crime - vehicle fatalities among Blacks similarly soared 36% in June–December 2020 versus the same period in 2019, compared with a 9% percent increase among the rest of the population - and 13% DECREASE in average miles driven by all Americans.

In June alone, the worst month of BLM rioting, 743 black people were killed in traffic fatalities, up from 478 in June 2019, a 55 percent increase.

A certain radical element of blacks hate cops, because in their hearts, they are ashamed what blacks will do to themselves without cops around.

Fake headline. It wasn’t Floyd’s death that made the police stand back. It was the phony fixed political show trial. What other cop wants to go through that?

Don’t arrest blacks. It’s not worth the hassle. I get that. But, if you will, please encourage them to remain in their own neighborhoods, and tell them you won’t be going there anymore. Guaranteed to make blacks love the police.

In order to get back in the good graces of Blacks, perhaps the cops should help them loot stores and set fire to lots of other stuff.

Cops do NOT want to have a run in with blacks. Period. They’ll be wrong no matter what. I see an arrogance now that reflects a “can’t touch dis” attitude BIG TIME! And it’ll only get worse.

If the police are afraid to do their job because they don’t think their management will support them then they really should quit. Management is not going to change. Things won’t get better. Find another position where you can do your job without worrying about being second-guessed.

Amen. They threw the entire dept under the bus, along with other major cities, and now wonder why crime is way up.

Police were influenced by years of the “community” and its behavior.

Now the officers dinseenuffin and dinhearnuffin.

Still in uniform but dindonuffin.

Sounds like Sharpton and Ben Crump are in for a few lean financial years.
