On Wednesday, a federal court gave approval to a plan by the city of Minneapolis, Minnesota to reward 12 Black Lives Matter rioters with a collective total of $600,000 over injuries they sustained during said riots.
The Daily Caller reports that the court’s decision settled a lawsuit originally filed by the far-left American Civil Liberties Union of Minnesota (ACLU-MN) on behalf of the rioters, and subsequently forbids the city of Minneapolis from using force to suppress violent riots. The injunction by the Minnesota U.S. District Court also forces all Minneapolis police officers who are deployed to riots to wear body-cameras, and limits the police force’s use of chemical agents for dispelling riots.
“Tear gas, foam bullets and pepper spray became weapons for intimidating and hurting protesters, making it dangerous for people to exercise their First Amendment rights,” ACLU-MN Legal Director Teresa Nelson falsely declared. “We hope this settlement sends a message to law enforcement across Minnesota that this violation of our constitutional rights will not be tolerated.”

When it should be time to haul antifa and other leftist protesters off to jail instead.
Peaceful? You must’ve missed the capital.
We hope, but I hope we are not past the point of no return.
I will never ever go to MN. I wouldn’t spend a dime in that state which supports rioters.
Minnesotans are getting the government they voted for and deserve!
I have no sympathy for them. I suspect that we will start seeing non-urban areas seceding from the urban areas. We may have a bunch of “city-states”, starving to death on their own liberal largesse.
Was any money awarded to the businesses that were burned out? (don’t answer that, I already know)
A fine personal tactic. For those who ask "what can be do!" the answer is relatively simple. How we spend / invest / protect ' donate will do much.
Proof of this may be seen in the losses in stock value and product sales from many companies that have played like this. People indeed do walk away.
Best wishes.
Good post.
“If it were conservatives doing the rioting, tho outcome would be much different...”
Conservatives don’t riot.
Any rioting would signify they lost and became leftists
Conservatism is not an ideology. It is a way of life. Conservatives don’t need to change others’ minds in order to maintain their thinking. So conservatives don’t riot.
By nature, conservatives depend on order and the law. Either that will prevail or the country will get crushed under by the gop and democrat leftists in government and culture
Rioters deserve lead bullets, not rubber.
God,has handed them over to their delusions and deviant lifestyles and agendas.
Kyle Rittenhouse put a stop to it and got arrested and darn near convicted for it. Thnakfu8lly justice prevailed though, but wow did the left try to falsely convict him for defending himself.
This country is truly FUBAR.
The verdict should be appealed all the way to the Supreme court (not that we the people would,win, but) this crap needs to be slapped down
Great. Now we are paying people to riot.
My mother does. She won’t listen to me.
I’m in outstate MN and thinking I should gtfo of the state completely
So then there will be more riots, and they will be bigger and more destructive.
The metro area voted for the Democrats.
The rest of Minnesota is as red as the rest of the country.
I wonder what the victims of the riots will receive.
The looting continues . .
