Yes, let’s defund the police have have more CHOPS. Then we can tell any federal government to leave our “communities” alone, no matter what we do or what “community” rules we make. But let’s only do this is some place run by Dims; they’ll be afraid to oppose us, they’ll be afraid to expose us for the Marxist anarchists we are.

Unfettered Democrat leadership on display. A once peaceful, friendly, big little town, turned into a third world hellhole, in just half of a century.
From #1 in beautiful parks and lakes in the nation, to tent camps, needles and feces, and an influx of freeloaders, in just one year. Nice work, fools!

The Minneapolis Star-Tribune reports a total of 19 people shot on Saturday.

“...not far from Bde Maka Ska, the largest lake in the city’s Chain of Lakes.”

That’s the former Lake Calhoun. The shootings were right around what is now Calhoun Square, the name is in the process of being changed of course. I’m sure that the Mayor and his city council will claim that the shootings were caused by the fact that Calhoun Square hasn’t been renamed fast enough. Look for it to be something like The Martyr George Floyd Memorial Square.

“Wife is an LCSW and she finds this ‘send in the social worker’ a bit offensive. If the cops won’t show, she doesn’t either.”
Indeed. I am LCSW at an inner city MH clinic and police are our friends!

She did APS for a few years once and if Larry the 6’ 6”” assigned cop to her and his nickle plated 44 magnum didn’t show, neither did she. He was quite the character.

I’ll just post this to see if anyone else finds the wording odd..._________________________________

I live near Mpls. At 6 am I heard this on the morning news/variety hour. I would like to know if this was a black on black fight or was it a black shooting up whites. Or was it whites shooting up blacks? I thought uptown was more hipster.

So, WHO DID THE SHOOTING TO WHOM?

I think this sounds terrible, but I’m glad it’s just gang war. It will stay off the news. If it was a race war, look out.

I went to Mass downtown Mpls this morning. They were super focused on me wearing a mask and not sitting too close to people. It really upset me. It was insane. Go to a park 7 miles from Mpls and nobody wears a mask, except ppl from Mpls.
It dawned on me, masks give the people of Mpls a sense of control. They have their heads buried in the sand. Hell has a death grip on their city. But as long as you wear a mask, they feel safe. Poor liberal bastards.

And the police can say, Sorry. We don't want to incite more violence by enforcing the law. Besides, you'll get reimbursed by your insurance company.

True, more range time might help. But relocating their metal sights from the side of their pistols to the top will have a much more pronounced effect.
