Minnesota Mob Intimidates City Council
Violence works. Brooklyn Center city counselor voted against her conscience on the firing of the city manager. Her opinion was he was very competent and he was correct on the officers need for due process. She didn’t want to deal with the violent mob. Doing anything that supports the Democrat party is a mistake.
People know who really has the power in this state. When state representatives threaten to burn down cities and the governor endorses them… what else do you need to know? #TCNT https://t.co/f3Onc15DXC

They have done this in several quiet neighborhoods already. One of the leaders got elected to the state legislature.
Published in Politics
Vice President Harris donated to the Minneapolis bailout fund. Hannity just played her rhetoric in support of the violent protesters.
The mayor obviously got the message.
“Violence works”.
Ah, but only for one party…
“Unbelievable” appears to be an extremely gross understatment…
This is quite a discussion if you click into it.
This is what I was referring to in the original post. The guy got elected.
Start at 7:35. He got elected to the state legislature.
We are in a dystopia. Laws are only used against one side.
This probably explains why Daunte Wright resisted arrest: a 2019 armed robbery:
“Daunte Wright had a warrant out for his arrest for attempted aggravated robbery charges after ‘choking and holding a woman at gunpoint for $820 in 2019,’ court papers reveal
DailyMail.com can reveal that Wright, 20, had a warrant out for his arrest for attempted aggravated robbery charges at the time
Charging papers allege Wright and a second man, Emajay Driver, attended a party in December 2019 at the home of two women in Osseo, Minnesota
The women allowed the pair to crash after they said they didn’t have a ride home
The next morning, after one of the women went to withdraw $820 in rent money, Wright allegedly held her at gunpoint and demanded she give him the cash
His bail was originally set at $100k with orders that he should not contact the victim or any witnesses, refrain from drugs and alcohol and not have any weapon
It was revoked in July last year due to his ‘failure to not possess a firearm or ammunition’ and not keeping in touch with his probation officer
DailyMail.com has also learned that online speculation that Wright did not know there was a warrant out for his arrest is false”
That is because only one party is serious about the use of every available tool to produce desired political outcomes.
Terrorism works when your society is lawless.
Re: video in comment # 6 (the one in Mr. Leroy Jenkins’ tweet)
I notice, at the end, when they’re naming people for whom they’re taking a knee, they don’t include David Dorn or 8 year old Secoriea Turner.
An awful lot of Democrats are comfortable with lawlessness.
2019 armed robbery. Warrant issued. 2021 he is still walking/driving the streets. WTF? Was he out on bail? What am I missing?
I watched the video. The police woman who shot Daunte Wright appears to have thought she was holding a taser. Someone in a comment section at PJMedia said a gun feels very different from a taser. So, either she meant to shoot Daunte Wright and was pretending to be too distracted by the situation to know what she was doing (unlikely, judging by the way she sounded) or it was a fatal accident and this woman shouldn’t have been in police work.
I’m assuming it was after Wright was killed that all the protesters turned up at Bob Kroll’s house. Will someone explain to me what he had to do with it? Was he in a position to know that this policewoman was incompetent, maybe from her past record or something ?
She was a 22-year veteran. She shouted, “Taser! Taser! Taser!” at least once. For whatever reason, she thought she was holding a taser.
So, there wasn’t enough intent for murder, but there is certainly enough negligence for manslaughter or negligent homicide.
Just as there’s no excuse for any other negligent discharge, there’s no excuse for pulling the trigger on a weapon and not knowing what weapon you’re holding.
What an incompetent piece of work. Someone should take him on a ride along.
I find it curious that a state containing a district that elected to Congress an America hating Somali so rapidly appears to becoming Somalia.
I agree. If , in 22 years, she showed dangerous incompetence on other occasions, would Bob Kroll have known it ? Or has Bob Kroll done things to prevent incompetent officers in general from being fired ?
That was related to Floyd, to be clear. cont.
I’m just pointing out how vicious it’s getting up here.
Daunte Wright, George Floyd, Michael Brown, etc. etc. Has anyone noticed that almost every time one of these traffic stops goes bad, the victim is a felon from a prevous run-in with the law?
No, it’s not right that these individuals lost their lives but maybe it’s just a good idea to go along with what the police officer says and, if the situation warrants, get a lawyer and take the police officer to court. Just sayin’.
Nah. This is in the category of one time is bad enough.
I have little-to-no problem siding with the party that exercises ethical restraint.
I thought this piece in the Spectator accurately identifies the larger issue.
The Real Reason for Daunte Wright’s Death
I just clicked on the link and read it. Whoever this Scott McKay is, this piece in the Spectator is so good I want to read everything he’s ever written.
Thank you, Henry Racette, for making me aware of it.
FWIW I read elsewhere that she’s a 26-year veteran.
I have seen comments elsewhere asserting that one screwup like this proves general incompetence, but I have read of disasters caused by people who were universally regarded as competent and experienced. Why they screwed up that one time can be a mystery. Regardless, we will surely learn more sooner or later.
Yes, maybe for instance, she was trained so well that she was following a script; she called out Taser! as she was supposed to do, I assume. Stuff happens. Even screw-ups.
