Minneapolis police in the news again

[sumpnz]

The riots when he gets charges dismissed or an acquittal will be worse than anything else we've seen yet.

I also expect to see a substantial amount of violence against random white people by blacks.  "Revenge" for George Floyd or something as a justification.

That certainly could happen.  Too many people have convinced themselves of their opinion and won't change it no matter what evidence they see.

Already started. Black guy stabbed a white autozone employee in the neck for "payback."

The evil people pushing this hoax¹ have no idea the fire they are playing with.

Well, most of them don't. Some of them actually do want a race war, but that won't work out how they want either.



1: the "it's open season on black people! They're being murdered (by whites) just for being black!" hoax.

Wow, that image of the police training is interesting.

So... how do you restrain a huge strong man who is high as a kite without the risk of injuring him?   

It seems like any time you forcibly pin someone down there is a risk of them dying (of a heart attack, like Eric Garner, who was dogpiled, or Tony Timpa who had a knee on his back) or suffocation.  Most of the time, the person survives, obviously, but is it possible to restrain people with zero risk?

I don't think so. 

As they found out in New York a few years back, even if they stuff them in paddy wagon the suspect can still manage to break their neck.

If you dog pile them, they may die...

if you put you knee on the side of their neck, they may die...

If you put your knee on their neck, they may die...

so what do you do?

Baltimore. But point taken.

Anytime someone resists arrest there is a chance of death.

[Ron]

Sometimes you can't keep them alive if you wanted to, due to their having four times the lethal dose of fentanil in their system.

Let Officer Chompy make all the arrests? Mind you, I don't even really like cops but I am right back to where I was with Ferguson, cheering for them.

I'm just going to leave this here. 

https://www.mprnews.org/story/2020/09/15/with-violent-crime-on-the-rise-in-mpls-city-council-asks-where-are-the-police

For his part, [Police Chief] Arradondo told council members that the department has instituted several measures, including adding more officers to patrol and investigative duties and cracking down on robberies.

But council members told Arradondo that residents are hearing a different message from officers.

Council President Lisa Bender, who was among those leading the call to overhaul the department, suggested that officers were being defiant. Her constituents say officers on the street have admitted that they’re purposely not arresting people who are committing crimes.

Politics aside, human nature is only going to allow folks get *expletive deleted*it on so much.

[K Frame]

" Her constituents say officers on the street have admitted that they’re purposely not arresting people who are committing crimes."

Why TF should they go through all of the hassle of arresting people for committing a crime when the prosecutor's office has pretty much thrown up their hands and are refusing to actually do their jobs?

I can't blame the police one bit if they're not arresting people for anything other than major criminal violations.

Who wants to get screamed at for 8 hours in a shift (if not longer), spend a couple hours processing someone and filing the required paperwork, only to have the prosecutors fail to uphold their responsibilities?

I have my doubts about who started that fire.  Who the F is going to spray paint Biden 2020 on a garage that they are going to burn down.  Also, the husband was finishing up a COVID quarantine but was out 10 days ago when he had the troubling experience.

I had the same feeling.  The anarchist A is also messed up.
Reminds me of the fake hate crimes where the swastikas get painted on backward.

A friend pointed out that some insurance companies have "civil unrest" clauses in their policies and won't pay for something like this.  So if the owner did it for the insurance money ...

I wonder if isolated cases of arson separate from active civil unrest still count?
The "hoax hate" cases are often for the crowdfunded money.

In defense of the family "about 10 days ago" might mean 14...

We'll see what the police investigation finds.

Chauvin is out on bail. He better be a world champion at hide and go seek.

National Guard has been activated by the MN governor for the Twin Cities.

Holy hell, they actually think feel charges have been dropped.

Never mind, different case

We learned today that a police officer in Wauwatosa, Wisconsin, will not face charges in the fatal shooting of a 17-year-old named Alvin Cole. The Milwaukee district attorney wrote a letter to the police chief saying there was sufficient evidence that Joseph Mensah believed deadly force was necessary. For what it’s worth, Cole and Mensah are both black.
