Not sure

but some were upset that he said the cop who fired the fun should get ‘due process”

and the city council voted 3-2 to give control of the police department to the mayor last night

The blue line flag has nothing to do wire poorly trained cops. It’s a show of respect for those killed in the line of duty.

Someone needs to stand up and educate everyone what symbols mean.

But this mayor is a woke idiot with a stupid cop. Minnesota is going to have to raise their taxes for all the lawsuits.

They’re pissed because she resigned before they fired her. Good grief.

Minnesota police officer Kim Potter, who shot and killed Daunte Wright during a traffic stop, resigns, officials announce.

LOL! Seven minutes later the chief resigns. It takes guts to stand up to bullies. Kudos to this former chief.

I knew the city manager was relieved of his duties because he said the cop deserved due process, but I’m curious why the chief resigned.

Ben Crump: “It is unbelievable … 10 miles from where the Chauvin trial regarding George Floyd was taking place that a police officer would shoot and kill another unarmed Black man. If you told me and I didn’t see little Daunte’s face … I wouldn’t believe it.”

The ‘Thin Blue Line’ flag is not inflammatory. That’s nonsense. But having said that, I wish folks wouldn’t modify the American flag in any way. Old Glory is supposed to represent all of us.

That’s a quaint notion, I know.

Not exactly riot weather

low 40’s, windy with snow flurries

may keep things at bay

I feel bad for the acting police chief. Yikes - he better watch his back.

***************************************************
And listening to the mayor at his “press conference” sure doesn’t instill a sense of his competence.
