Colin Kaepernick funding Minneapolis protesters' legal defense after George Floyd death
Fox Business ^ | May 29 2020 | Thomas Barrabi

Former NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick has established a legal defense fund for Minneapolis protestors following the death of a black man while in police custody.

The Know Your Rights Camp Legal Defense Initiative was set up as an extension of Kaepernick’s eponymous nonprofit organization. The initiative will provide protestors who face charges with financial resources and access to top defense lawyers, according to its website.

“When there is an injustice within our community, it is our legal right to address it, by any means necessary,” the website says. “If you, or a loved one is in need of legal assistance, or has been arrested while fighting injustice in the Minneapolis area, please complete the form below with as much detail as possible.”

Here is the pyramid of blame/responsibility in Minneapolis!

1. The officers that did the choking/killing. They actually did it.
2. The police department heads, and the Chief. They are responsible for the environment that lead to the officers believing this was acceptable behavior.
3. The Black Mayor, Mayor Melvin Carter.
4. The Black Mayor, Mayor Melvin Carter, who selected the Hispanic Chief of Police, Minneapolis Police Chief Medaria Arradondo.
5. He, the Minneapolis Police Chief, Medaria Arradondo, After Not Giving Cops Armor, Chief Said the Riots were “Too Dangerous For Cops To Stop without body armor!”
6. The voters of Minneapolis. They elected the mayor, who hired the Chief of Police
7. The local mediots on tv and in news papers ignored 1-6 until the riots started.
8. This isn’t even a state issue, much less a fed/gov issue. It is a Minneapolis issue and voters!.

9. The good news for Karens in Minneapolis, FR and in America, the cops and rioters are wearing masks and apparently trying to staying 6’ part during the looting and rioting.

10. Minn. mayor gives masks to crowding rioters after warning in-person worship would be ‘public health disaster’!

10 a. Grandpa Dave.. forgot to mention..: masks are helping to make sure that any video surveillance footage would NOT allow rioters and looters to be identified thanks to their masks.

The Karens in America are cheering this great leadership until they are robbed or killed by someone wearing a mask.

He’s not funding it. He’s laundering money from the Revolutionary Communist Party.

Can I ask a stupid question? Why do peaceful protesters need a legal defense fund? Why do they need a lawyer in the first place? Peaceful protesters who are exercising their constitutional rights are not breaking any laws.

And if they are not breaking any laws then they’re not going to be in legal trouble. So then we’re back to the idea of wondering why do they need a legal defense fund?

So 50 years of liberal policies got us this. A whole segment of the country that hates the country and us and blames us for its failings.

Will people ever learn? Treating a whole class of people like incompetent children, giving them special privileges, not requiring them to work, making them dependent on welfare, got us a permanent underclass that is never happy. It’s tearing the country apart now. Leftists who want Trump out of office are fueling the fire (literally).

Just when we thought it was safe to leave the house, this happens.

One of the most liberal cities in the country. Decades of so.

Yet the Governor and his admin said the racial disparity is as bad as ever.

What the hell have they been doing for decades???

Oh yeah, keeping minorities on the political plantation.

Why would it? His black half is bringing in the bucks and the fame, bribing the other half.

I wonder if he can be sued by those that lost property, since he is providing support and comfort to the rioters who are contributing to violent acts.
