On the fifth night of rioting, looting and arson in Minneapolis, the criminal elements were driven from the streets.

By whom? By the same cops who had been the constant objects of media derision and mob hatred.

Without the thin blue line, far larger sectors of dozens of America's cities would be in ruins, burned to the ground by the mobs that showered police and their vehicles with rocks, bricks, bottles, Molotov cocktails and any debris that could be thrown at them.

Delusional political correctness or liberalism is the antithesis of civilization.

The cops are protecting the protesters from the armed citizenry.

Cops have been told to stand down - in most democrat hellholes they’re not even allowed to protect their police cars from being burned.

The people to blame are democrats and their thugs.

Liberalism/ Marxism is moral hypocrisy in full bloom.

Cops saved the cities? How? By showing the yellow streaks on their backs as they run away? These big city cops are almost worthless. The cops kiss up to these radical leftist mayors for pay raises and benefits and the police unions give these coppers cover as they abuse their power. These same unions donate big money to see these same radicals returned to office. Once in a while, a rouge cop must be sacrificed, that’s all that’s required. This is nothing but a friggin’ racket.
