Minneapolis Mayor DEFENDS abandoning 3rd precinct in order to prevent 'hand-to-hand' combat between protesters and 'outnumbered' officers - as cops claim officials were 'content to let the city be overrun'

“The governor & police chief are blaming out of state white supremists for all of this.”

Last weekend, just as one example, 49 people were shot down on the streets of Chicago. Many of the victims, if not most, are black.

There have been few arrests for the shootings because no one knows who the shooters are; nobody saw nothing. And nobody seems curious.

Question: Is it possible the shootings in Chicago every week are the doings of white supremacists that, we are told by many influencers, are under every bed and behind every sheet?

No one knows who is doing the shootings so the possibility can't be ruled out.

What is wrong with this thinking?

Do the police there not have shotguns? Shotguns can help prevent hand to hand combat.

When you run out of ammo, it’s time to fix bayonets.

“That is how leftists argue.”

Still, you were the one that said letting the rioters burn the third precinct Thursday night was the right thing to do.

Yep.the Minneapolis police thinks it’s better to stick businesses with the
cost of repairing burned down and looted local businesses than to protect
those businesses. Except if they violate the lock down order.

It was either that or give Antifa the body count they lust for. Bad decisions four days ago left the city with no good options.

The governor, mayor, and police chief all came to the microphone with platitudes and nothing but cowardice.

They claimed to be in charge but did NOTHING and used no resources at their disposal to protect the people and their property.

Typical democrats: Cowards.

This is not about George Floyd. This is about inept government, no matter your political views.

Here is the pyramid of blame/responsibility in Minneapolis!
Plus a common sense summary by: Charlie Daniels:

1. The officers accused of the choking/killing, apparently did it.
2. The police department heads, and their Chief are responsible for the environment that lead to the officers believing this was acceptable behavior.
3. The soy boy mayor, Jacob Frey, an uber liberal progressive! Is guilty as noted below:
4. The soy boy mayor, Jacob Frey, who selected the Hispanic Chief of Police, Minneapolis Police Chief Medaria Arradondo.
5. The Minneapolis Police Chief, Medaria Arradondo, After Not Giving, Cops his cops, Body Armor, Chief Medaria Arradondo, 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 liberalvoters’ issue. Elections can have serious consequences, life and or death.

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. soy boy mayor, Jacob Frey gives masks to crowding rioters after warning in-person worship would be a ‘public health disaster’!

Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey (D) requested on Thursday that “protesters” in the City of Lakes practice social distancing and wear masks to reduce coronavirus ...

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. Masks are for everyone!

Cop violence you will not see on ABCNNBCBS:
Equal Opportunity Video Of Black Cop, Violently Choking Young Man Surfaces In Jackson Miss. – MSM Silent As White Cop, George Floyd Video Makes all “The Headlines”!

Summary by: Charlie Daniels: Until America starts electing leaders who are willing to take responsibility for their own actions and the actions of those under their command, there will never be street-level justice in America.

The useful idiots who elected Spicoli to office deserve all that they get during these riots.

[The cop being blamed (regardless of his guilt) had so many prior claims against him it begs the question of why he was still on the force. In fact, there were criminal charges against him in the past, as a cop, that Amy Klobuchar - when she had the chance - did not prosecute him on.]


The thing about crooks is that they’re not morons. They know how to work the justice system. An acquaintance was a chef in NYC. He worked nights and was robbed multiple times while heading home in the small hours. He bought an illegal gun because getting a carry permit in NYC almost impossible. One night, he flashed it to deter a mugger. The mugger called the cops, kicking off over $10K in legal expenses for the chef, and a stint in an NYC holding cell alongside the scum of the city.

Given that cops deal with crooks daily, it’s a wonder that this cop had only one complaint a year. Hundreds would not be surprising. That’s the thing about the media. Its dishonesty, laziness and any number of other defects makes it hard to pinpoint exactly what the problem is. Bottom line is that any time it attacks a group it hates in favor of a member of a group that is perpetually a source of trouble for the country, I’m apt to think there’s something media accounts have left out about the perpetual troublemakers.

Posting pictures without providing captions or identities underneath or above very amateurish. Lowers the the value using FR by not identifying the purpose of posting pictures to the article being posted.

PROTESTERS?????

If you want to protest, be sure you know what is being protested...that it affects you and whatever skin you have in the cause....all others are the beginnings of Anarchists, the end of constitutional protests. Anarchy is a crime happening.
