Minneapolis’ Frey accuses Walz of dragging feet during early unrest
Fox News ^ | August 03 2020 | Edmund DeMarche

Mayor Jacob Frey, the Minneapolis Democrat who faced sharp criticism over his handling of the George Floyd riots in June, on Monday seemed to place much of the blame on Gov. Tim Walz, another Democrat, for failing to act quickly on early requests from the city for state intervention, a report said.

The Minneapolis Star-Tribune published a detailed report that shed light on the interaction between the mayor's office and Walz in the early days of the protest. The governor's office made it clear that National Guard Troops were ready within 24 hours of the mayor's informal request, but Frey seems to be unconvinced that the governor's office took the unfolding crisis as serious as the moment demanded.

The report also shows clear fissures in Frey’s relationship with Walz. Frey told the paper that he remembered a press conference that the governor held outside the smoldering Third Precinct when he called the city’s response to the unrest the night before an “abject failure.”

If it makes you guys feel any better, you’re both cretins. In fairness though, Frey is a less experienced cretin.

Yes, whether national Democrats or that even-more-radical (historically speaking) Democratic-Farmer-Labor segment native to Minnesota.

I seem to remember Jacob Frey answering a reporters question that he thought the officers murdered George Floyd. Inciting a riot by his own hand.

So....just like DeBlasio and Cuomo. They’re arguing over who takes the blame. There plenty for each of them.

Frey is a empty-suit type character who pretended his way to get the mayor’s job, and lacks the skills required to carry the city ahead. I’d say that for most of the city council as well.

If you own a business or home in the metro region....I’d go ahead and dump it/sell it, and relocate at least a hundred miles away.

I will say for the 2020 election...it will absolutely go to Trump this time because of the state’s public perception of a Democratic lost cause.

I wonder what the polls look like for these mayors/governors. Anyone see any?

They are both tied for the most guilty. Frey encourages left-wing violence at every opportunity. He envies the mayor of Portland. They both sat on their thumbs for about 3 days.

“””I seem to remember Jacob Frey answering a reporters question that he thought the officers murdered George Floyd. Inciting a riot by his own hand.”””

He fired them all immediately and then the scumbag AG Ellison threw them all in jail for murder.

When the Somali cop leaned over his partner to shoot an unarmed white woman who was reporting a crime it took them eight months to investigate before he was charged. He stayed on the payroll the whole time.

For the record: Minneapolis was pillaged, looted and burned. A black drugged out criminal was declared more important than the city

The thing that triggered these riots was the MSM reporting of the Floyd demise and spiking the facts behind his condition at the time. Because of that getting those facts out are desperately needed

Why not print this up and pass around in your precinct

The democrat controlled media racist killing reporting was a deliberate miss portraying of the six foot seven inch 200 plus pound Floyd as an innocent black who was being forceably restrained because he was black not because he was resisting arrest.When He was legitimately arrested for passing a counterfeit $20 dollar bill he was resisting arrest and was a threat if not secured. But the media was not mentioning his size or reporting that Floyd was removed from a squad car because he was acting up under the influence of drugs and also later was discovered to have COVID 19. Which suggests his physical condition may have led to his death which the media turned into a murder change and a charge of serious abuse by police because of police efforts that were tried to get him who under control.

If Obama had urged blacks to believe in the justice system and comply with the police would we be confronting his use of creating racial division now ?
The results of politically induced miss reporting incidents where blacks have resisted legitimate arrest began to be used earlier during and after the post Zimmmerman trial, then on to the Ferguson episode. Obama’s abuse of the “Bully Pulpit” which seemed to promote resistance to legitimate arrest led to black gangs attacking non blacks found innocently traversing black neighborhoods and to a score of murders or life changing injuries and later attacks of theft and vandalism on local businesses as well as attacks and murders of police officers during that period

Is this the same Frey who told his 3rd Precinct cops to get their personal stuff out of the station, at 11:00 a.m., because he was going to let the terrorists burn it down later that night?
That soy boy Frey?
I thought so. Shameful!

Frey handled this just like he handled the previous demo/riots over the last couple of years. He’s just hoping everyone has forgotten and can’t see the pattern.
