In a democracy you get the government you deserve.
The people of Minneapolis are getting exactly what they deserve.

City and State run by whimpy ass idiots. Yes, justice needs to be swift, not some timely ass shit as spouted by the Minn police chief, when a firm hand is required against the rioters, time and time again, they utterly fail. Frakin’ puss***. Sh*t is hilarious since they the ones always talking CWII, etc. F’ing whimps couldn’t beat themselves out a wet paper bag....they run, just as those cops did last night.

I would suggest that this ‘lack’ of leadership extends to just about every corner of the state (the city council of Minneapolis, former DA of the city....Amy Klobuchar, etc).

As intended.

Agree that Trump’s tweet was unhelpful, although I too will vote for him and would never vote for any Dem, ever.

But there definitely is a problem with the police turning into state goon squads that essentially regard all citizens as enemies of the state and thus legitimate targets for violence. The rioting going on in another state is over a young woman who was shot in her bed by police carrying out a drug raid on the wrong address or at least the wrong person at that address.

The police forces definitely need better leadership not only at the command level but at the political level. I think a lot of the support they once might have gotten from local citizens is evaporating because the cops have been used by the politicians to enforce the “lockdown” restrictions on citizens just going about their ordinary business and even a lot of law abandon people, of any color, don’t trust them now.

Activists in charge? Anarchist is a better word choice.

I've long thought that Minnesota voters see government and elections as a joke, ever since they voted for Jesse Ventura and then Al Franken. Sort of like when high school students vote for a dog for student council president or some such.

Kind of looks like Minnesota elected representatives feel the same way about their citizens, which isn't surprising when you think about it.

Blackmon is normally just a little excitable, but well-meaning. Here, he’s just off-the-wall. We don’t even know a crime has occurred here, and he’s raring to hang the cops from the nearest lamp post. Maybe we should test each rope on his neck just to make sure the knots are tied on right.

If a Democratic administration isn’t sure they have the goods on the cops, it’s a cinch that no crime has been committed. Because blacks are probably 25% of the city’s population and ~50% of the Democratic primary vote, any shred of incriminating evidence would have prosecutors landing on the embattled cops’ heads, out of political expediency. And yet, crickets.

The question is, how much of this is purely grassroots civil rights anger, and how much of this is pushed, organized, and fueled by outside forces.

I could be completely wrong, and I base this ‘feeling’ on very limited little hints and pieces of evidence here and there, but I get the feeling every time one of these cities goes up in flames that there are disaster-managers who swoop in like deep cover commandos and rally the right people into toppling these cities. But if it’s true, the deep state is too busying framing political candidates to do any kind of investigative and enforcement into it, and probably have no clue who any of them are, let alone the desire to stop them. ... and the very sad thing about it is, the top of the pyramid bent to tear down the United States surely exists outside our borders. George Floyd may be a genuine social and civil rights travesty, but to these damage and discord planners, he is an opportunity.

IS THERE AN ADULT IN THE HOUSE!!!!
Im glad I caught a previous vid run on tucker with the mayor of Baltimore saying “WE NEED TO GIVE THE RIOTERS TIME TO LOOT AND BURN”. Soros is at the front of all of this with the media fanning the flames. Trump needs to cut the head of the snake and his demon seed to start
