The Minneapolis mayor is asking for federal help cleaning up and rebuilding his city after rioters caused at least $55 million worth of damage through looting, burning, and defacing public and private property. That cost estimate is likely to increase in the coming days as government officials continue to tally the damage done in the wake of George Floyd’s death, Mayor Jacob Frey said according to the Minneapolis Star Tribune. Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and the state’s congressional delegation are also pushing the Trump administration and Congress for funding. On Tuesday, city officials released an initial estimate of $55 million in damage done to at least 220 buildings.

$55 mil is off by at least a factor of five. Libs can’t even do basic damage assessment correctly.

Well, gee. I hope they have good insurance coverage. Perhaps the idiot democrats running the city should have tried a little arder to curb the crime and violence perpetrated by their wholly owned democrat riot squads.

Not just no, but he!! no. They let the rioters run rampant and did absolutely nothing to stop them. Where I come from that’s called aiding and abetting.

That mayor has no name no face.

No press conference

He was to come out immediately to say why this chauvin guy was kept on the police force after several similar incidents

But he’s been hiding

No.

Minneapolis is a sanctuary city and thus has left the Union

America therefore has no responsibility or even authority to do anything to remedy the permitted trashing of their city. Citizens of Minneapolis are not Americans

Heck no. He directly allowed it. Probably rooted for it.
The optics of not allowing the police to defend their own precinct poured fuel on all this.

It is so apparent that the “state leaders” are really missing some things here.

They are funded by their taxpayers to protect and serve. It is obvious that they were not prepared for this or they are politically using this, or both (never let a good disaster go unused). They hire “experts” to tell them how to handle people and how to budget for contingencies. They “celled” up their citizens which, after all this time, put them on edge when it destroyed the previously stronger economy in their state and pressured people to feed their families with little of no income or sources for selection.

Everything they have done was, obviously, going to create unrest. It was systematically done for political purposes to blame Trump even though he had nothing to do with it. So now, after they have blown their jobs apart in their areas, they come crying to the federal government for funding that has already spent $6T on the covid alone,

https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2020/04/15/coronavirus-economy-6-trillion/

and is still spending paying for protection of the states, when the governors allow them to come in, the army national guard even though the states are supposed to foot that bill. But that bad ol’ Trump is helping them.

Now, after all the feds have done, and the responsibilities of the locals have been blown, they go to daddy to get some free cash? They should tell the local “leaders” that didn’t earn their money, forfeit it just like the people of the area had to forfeit theirs for your political stupidity. Maybe when your protected a$$e$ have to pay as much as your constituents that made the mistake of trusting you paid, it might serve a purpose after all...cause you’ll try something like this again. Maybe you need some scars to help you remember it, like an empty stomach, or hard to get healthcare, or even something easy for you, but impossible for others,to get a simple haircut. Welcome to the real world Waldo.

He needs to head to his bank and stock broker for a cash loan.

Don't give the feeb a damn nickel.

This is all on you. Do you think anyone believes some of that money if it went there wouldn’t funnel itself back into the pockets of relatives etc of these buffoons.

You allowed destruction so reconstruction is you problem, not the rest of the country to bail you out with our tax dollars

Since the Alinskyites are pulling money from taxpayer for new street names removal of historic monuments and police force cuts etc.... Trump should let them know he can remove funding for them out of the next education funding to come down the pike
