Maybe sometimes having police is better.
In Minneapolis — where law enforcement as we know it may be on its way out — a mass shooting occurred Saturday night.
As reported by CNN, the melee — which took place on Hennepin Avenue South — saw 12 people shot.
One has died, while the others have non-life-threatening injuries, according to police.
The motive remains unclear, and no arrests have yet been made.
Arrests may be part of the Old World, anyway — as I covered previously, on June 12th, the Minneapolis City Council made the announcement that cops were canceled.
The five members who penned the resolution explained thusly:
“The murder of George Floyd on May 25, 2020, by Minneapolis police officers is a tragedy that shows that no amount of reforms will prevent lethal violence and abuse by some members of the Police Department against members of our community, especially Black people and people of color.”
The police will be replaced by a “community-led public safety system.”
Whoever they are, they might wanna be armed — what took place Saturday night sounded like warfare.
Witness Erik Thompson at first thought he was hearing fireworks, but the explosions didn’t stop.
He recalled, “We started hearing whizzing by our ears, and it was the bullets coming towards us.”
Restaurant manager Fred Hwang said there were at least two groups shooting at one another.
More from CNN:
Police said the gunfire continued down a block early Sunday morning.
After the gunfire stopped and victims were taken to the hospital, Hwang said he surveyed the scene and found ammunition shell casings that appear to be from three different types of weapons.
Hennepin Avenue South was also recently the site of looting and mayhem in the aftermath of George Floyd’s terrible death at the hands of four Minneapolis law enforcement officers.
And given the City Council’s decision, the area may not be safer any time soon. As noted by RedState’s Bonchie just a little over a week ago, a replacement plan for the Men and Women in Blue isn’t securely in place:
Lisa Bender, the president of the Minneapolis City Council, really wants to destroy her local police department. What she doesn’t know is essentially anything that comes after that.
Hopefully, they’ll get that figured out.
In the meantime, if you’re looking for a great place in Minneapolis to hang out, Hennepin Ave. shouldn’t top your list.
And nationally, we could be asking for more bullets flying in more directions. The Hennepin incident brings to mind voices across the country crying, “Defund the Police.” People don’t seem exactly clear on what that means, but if you weaken law and order, something tells me you strengthen crime.
Perhaps not everyone agrees with me, but I’d be willing to bet some criminals do.
Unexpected...
Send in the social workers!!!
community led....I think that’s what they call vigilantes and why in God’s name would towns people fund them.
anyone educated will leave this nightmare.
cannot imagine a physician or engineer
moving to this Islamic terror state.
They should plant a garden on top of the grass in a park. Dumbasses.
I can’t wait until armed CHOP raiding parties begin venturing outside of the CHOP zone in search of food, drugs, money, womens.
Gee, that’s a shame.
People don’t seem exactly clear on what that means, but if you weaken law and order, something tells me you strengthen crime.

Weakness invites aggression. Strength deters it.
Our cities have chosen the former and they are already reaping the whirlwind.
>> Send in the social workers!!!
Dey was depraved cuz dey was deprived.

I’m surprised they haven’t already engaged in some “territorial expansion”. Additional “lands” are there for the taking. A few more blocks of the city and then onto Seattle itself.
posted a video last night I saw on twitter of a Soy Boy showing off all the beautiful artwork in CHOP on a streaming live feed..and then.....
someone robs him and you hear him keep yelling THIEF THIEF THIEF
“Just normal life in a big city now.” “People have to learn to be resilient.”
“Police - so passé.” “Anyone calling for a police department is a racist.”
LOL Easy. Same 'motive' as Chicago thugs had shooting 90 people this weekend.
It's NOT 'gun violence' it's out of control 'black community' thug violence.
CHOP needs Lebensraum!

Problem is, it’s the college IDIOTjucated ones who are creating this nightmare!
