Four Minneapolis officers fired after death of black man

[Libertarian01]

I hadn't heard of Jake Gardner before today. In the video he seemed extremely decent, a good man. He was surrounded by people who clearly didn't share his politics and yet he politely and evenly defended their position.

From that small clip of him I have a hard time picturing him taking any rash or extreme action without being severely provoked. A shame that a trial will not be had to exonerate him.

Regards,

Doug

EDIT - Even more of a tragedy that he was charged after being cleared.

Here is an article.

He definitely seems like a white supremacist in this video.

He was mentioned earlier, after it happened. I think early in the riots.

Seattle City Council Overrides Mayor’s Veto, Begins to Defund the Police

And so the cutting of police begins in Seattle. Their plan cuts 100 police this year and will end up cutting 50% of the police budget in the future. I wonder if they will actually be laying off anyone or if they've already lost 100 people.

 

[jamil]

They'll probably lose more than that.

Real peaceful protestors should protest that the 'peaceful protestors" are high jacking their protests. There's a mindblower.

With the amount of taxpayer's money being used to fund the city council's private security, that money has to be off-set from somewhere. This will only get worse as the people who actually pay taxes will leave in droves, leaving bureaucrats and rioters.

Lets say you were a Seattle Cop who could retire and did retire. Not ready to just hang out with your buds at the coffee shop and mow the yard every 2.5 days. You take a gig with one of the private security firms proving security to the city council yea-hoos.

Late one night a mob of near-do-wells shows up outside the residence with skateboards and Molotovs. Do you say EFF this noise and bounce?

Wonder if that will offset the cost of the "protests"?

These cities all talk about "defunding" the police, but by the time they are done burning, they will be net zero on their budgets.

Hasn't seattle shown recently they don't need as many police?

 

[2A_Tom]

It seems the police that are there are not doing much, so just cashier theentire department.

Wheeler just declared an emergency.
People on his side burning the place down wasn't enough.
Proud Boys announced a visit, and that violence (threatened or perceived) apparently was.

They’re coming to wave their flags!!! Take cover!! Oh the horror!!!

Gasp! They’re going to drive their low mpg trucks down our streets!!


They might even be...gasp...diesel!

 

[KG1]

Don't think I've seen anything yet of Proud Boys rioting, looting and burning **** down. Maybe I missed it.

 

[2A_Tom]

The problem is, there is already an acceptable contingent of "PEACEFUL PROTESTERS" that may be offended by...

The mere sight of an American flag.
The idea that anyone that is not a sodomite would call themself Proud.
Patriots might stand their ground when attacked.
The police may defect to the LIGHT.

IF you believe invented journalism. The level of it is pretty high, but here you go.

Looks to me like he kicked the guy's hand, not his face. Probably knocked the phone out of his hand?

But, whaddaiknow?

Yup. Just the phone then he threw it over the fence. Then he fell down. Then he got back up. Then he walked back towards the crowd.


I just did a better job than the ass wipe that reported this no matter how pathetic.

Among others observations, C.A. Fitts (Assistant Secretary Of Housing / HUD under GHW Bush) has interesting things to say about Minneapolis, cities burning, whodunnit and why.
Hope you enjoy.
