Lopez, of Coon Rapids, and two married couples he knows were attacked by a gang of 10 men ages 16 to early 20s, shortly after the group of friends left the Aqua nightclub in the city's Warehouse District early Sept. 2. The brazen assault took place not more than 30 feet from the 1st Police Precinct station on Fourth Street between Hennepin Avenue and First Avenue North. Now, if I were going to get assaulted, I would think that being next to a police station would be the best place to be. Help is next door, right? Not that morning, according to an internal affairs unit complaint filed by the group last weekend. SHE SAID COP SAID 'NOT MY PROBLEM'

When there is no “description of the perps” we KNOW the description of the perps. The police won't protect us and the media (try to) hide the truth from us. All we have going for ourselves is the Second Amendment. And common sense. For example, I no longer visit Minneapolis.

“They’re beating him to death! I think he’s a cop!”
Yeah, I can see how that might get a reaction. I can’t imagine them giving a crap about a rape though...unless there’s a chick cop handy. Guys hate having to deal with that crap.

Actually, violent crimes in downtown Minneapolis logged by police through Monday of this past week are down 15 percent from the same period last year. If you don't track crimes, they didn't happen.

Even in easy shall-issue states (PA has no training requirement, and application fee is just $25), less than 5% of adults get a license, and just a fraction of that number carry habitually.
People need to understand that the police are NOT likely to be there when you need help. As this story illustrates, even when they ARE there, they might choose to not "get involved".

>> SHE SAID COP SAID ‘NOT MY PROBLEM’
>> I’d organize a daytime protest at the station
I’d organize a militia.

These silly people.
Cops are only there to shoot your dog.
