U.S. Rep. Maxine Waters, D-Calif., showed up at an anti-police brutality protest in Brooklyn Center, Minnesota, on Saturday evening, saying demonstrators needed to "stay on the street," demanding justice until police reform becomes a reality. "I’m going to fight with all of the people who stand for justice," Waters told reporters shortly before an 11 p.m. curfew. "We’ve got to get justice in this country and we cannot allow these killings to continue." Asked about the Derek Chauvin murder trial in Minneapolis, Waters told reporters if the former police officer isn't found guilty of murdering George Floyd, "We've got to...

America's foremost race-baiter latches onto latest opportunity to distract black voters from the unmitigated carnage Democrats have foisted on generations of urban Americans Barack Obama claimed on Twitter that his “heart is heavy” over the fatal Minneapolis police shooting of Daunte Wright, an unarmed 20-year-old black man who resisted arrest. I’m calling BS on that claim. America’s foremost race-baiter I believe Obama is thrilled every time an unarmed black person is killed by police. Why? Because each such killing is a fresh opportunity for him to advance the obscene narrative that America’s law enforcement community is replete with racist cops...

BROOKLYN CENTER, Minn. — The former police officer who shot and killed Daunte Wright this week will be charged with second-degree manslaughter, Washington County Attorney Pete Orput said Wednesday.

Moments before police fatally shot Daunte Wright during a traffic stop Sunday in a Minneapolis suburb, he called his mother and told her he'd been pulled over for hanging air fresheners from his rearview mirror. It's not clear how much of a role the air fresheners played in the traffic stop. Brooklyn Center Police Chief Tim Gannon told reporters Monday that Wright was originally pulled over for an expired tag and that when officers approached his car, they saw an item hanging from the rearview mirror. But Minnesota is one of at least several states with laws that prohibit hanging...

The National Guard has been called out to control rioting in the wake of a police shooting in the northern Minneapolis lower-middle-class suburb of Brooklyn Center (whose Caucasian population is 44.5% according to Census Bureau estimates). Rioters behaved with a hair trigger response, with at least one shot fired into the police station, and looting reported locally and many miles distant, on Lake Street in Minneapolis, which received the brunt of the riot, looting, and arson damage following the drug overdose death of George Floyd while in police custody.KARE TV 11 reports:A curfew is in place for the city of...

Daunte Wright, the 20-year-old black man fatally shot during a traffic stop in Minnesota, was “afraid police would do something like this to him,” according to a local educator who mentored Wright. Jonathan Mason, a youth development specialist who became close with Wright when he was a student at Edison High School in Minneapolis said he, Wright and other young black men often talked about how to handle interactions with cops.

BROOKLYN CENTER, Minn. (FOX 9) - The police officer who shot and killed 20-year-old Daunte Wright in Brooklyn Center Sunday afternoon was identified as Kim Potter by the Minnesota BCA Monday night. In a release, the BCA said Potter has been with the Brooklyn Center Police Department for 26 years. She has been placed under standard administrative leave.

Charlotte, NC — Look no further if you were in search of more proof that Democrats see black Americans as political pawns to be used up and cast aside. The only difference now is it’s not an election year. If you’re looking for an example of this stupidity, look no further than Joe Biden’s idiotic call for ‘protests’ over yesterday’s shooting of Duante Wright. The shooting is being described as an accidental discharge. Also, race played no factor in this matter, but rather outstanding warrants and fleeing the scene of a traffic stop did. Sadly, there are insane people living...

@JamesOKeefeIII We showed you evidence in MN of ballot harvesters ON TAPE literally paying cash for votes saying “we don’t care that it’s illegal.” No arrests or prosecutions from the FBI. You didn’t care. No equality before the law much? Why people are pissed. Focus on the underlying issue! @FBI The FBI is seeking to identify individuals instigating violence in Washington, D.C. We are accepting tips and digital media depicting rioting or violence in and around the U.S. Capitol on January 6.

Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.) this week claimed that President Trump is “trying to burn this country down on his way out” of office by not supporting the new coronavirus stimulus and government funding bill passed by Congress on Monday. In an appearance on Rachel Maddow’s MSNBC show Tuesday night, Klobuchar responded to the president’s remarks shared on Twitter earlier in the day, in which he called the $2.3 trillion package that includes stimulus checks of $600 to Americans “a disgrace,” adding that the payments should be increased to $2,000. The Minnesota senator and former 2020 Democratic presidential candidate told Maddow...

Rep. @IlhanMN: "Republicans really are part of a Party that is enabling this president -- who's not only humiliating himself but humiliating our country."

Forty-nine percent of likely Minnesota voters support former Vice President Joe Biden, while 44 percent support President Donald Trump, a poll by Change Research commissioned by MinnPost finds. The online poll was conducted among 1,021 likely voters in Minnesota last week, from Oct. 12 to Oct. 15, and the results’ margin of sampling error is 3.1 percentage points. Separated by just five points and within the margin of error, this represents the closest the two presidential candidates have been in a recent public poll. Recent polling Fewer pollsters have surveyed Minnesota lately compared to in August and early September, when...

Why has Marc Elias, the Democratic National Committee’s election lawyer, filed more than 50 lawsuits around the country challenging state election laws in advance of next month’s presidential election? Elias says he’s fighting against “voter suppression.” But most of the state laws he’s challenging have been in place for years — including when he was the legal adviser to the John Kerry and Hillary Clinton presidential campaigns. Why is Elias suddenly asking courts to overrule state election laws and count ballots that come in after Election Day, or force states to have unattended ballot collection boxes? Someone who knows Elias...

Every weekend since May, Dustin Sanchez and his neighbors have blockaded their uptown neighborhood after sunset shutting down and patrolling their own streets, communicating on walkie talkies, sometimes armed because those are the most dangerous hours. It is a risky routine. In late June, a shootout erupted around them. Eleven people were hurt, with close calls for his crew. Dustin Sanchez: It happened about 12:30, and you just hear a pop, pop, pop. And then pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop. Scott: The bullets were whizzing by you? Sanchez: They hit some windows there. They hit the movie...
