Four Minneapolis officers fired after death of black man

[Tombs]

Minnesota isn't a stand your ground state. ... The state doesn't have a castle law per se, but it does recognize the principles of the doctrine because Minnesota law allows you to use deadly force, including shooting an intruder, to prevent a felony from occurring in your home

I have property in both Indiana and Minnesota. Working on the castle law this year

I'm not really sure what all qualifies as a felony after they've entered your home.

Guess Minnesota expects the average person to be a lawyer, lol.

I've been ordered back inside my house before when I lived over near CM. But it was because there was a near-SWAT situation (about 10 IMPD cars) at the house across the street. And they only ordered me back inside after they started kneeling behind their car doors though. That seemed reasonable.

That makes sense. Or if a dog was out.

Not allowed on your porch during curfew, if that's what it was

Q: Can I be outside on my own property during curfew hours, such as on my porch or in my yard?

A: Yes, but if a police officer or other public safety officer asks you to go inside, you must do so.

Well, there's that.

Governors mansion Indianapolis live. Quite a few protesters probably not enough police. The protest was warned to disperse already. Given more time and warned again.

Great minds.

I think that if the riots continue and the governors do nothing he will invoke the Insurrection Act. After that all bets are off.

My wife's liberal sister is watching CNN and is on the phone saying Trump declared marshall law. I tried to tell her the states have to ask for federal troops, he only makes them available. Of course I'm wrong. CNN says different.

He does. And his detractors accuse him of being a tyrant because he wants things done quickly. And then, just like with the Covid crap, in the same breath turn around and accuse him of not acting fast enough.

C’mon. He ordered the BATFEIEIO to say that a plastic accessory is a machine gun. I don’t trust anyone with that kind of power. But granted I trust Democrats even less than Trump.

Oh FFS...

One guy seems to be pretty chill and is talking to police. Police hugging the dude. Cool.

In 1992, President George H.W. Bush ordered the Army’s 7th Infantry and 1,500 Marines to quell the Rodney King riots burning down LA. Bush 41 knew that King had been unjustly treated—“what I saw made me sick”—but he knew deadly riots would only multiply the victims.

To those who claim the military has no role in stopping anarchists and other criminals from tearing apart our cities: read a book. The military has intervened to maintain public order since the Whiskey Rebellion. Here are a few recent examples.

Police walking with the protesters. Okay, good. I'm heading to bed.

 

[jsharmon7]

Protestors were yelling, “Eff 12!” Then, “why won’t you walk with us?!” Maybe it’s all the “Eff you guys” stuff?

 

[OurDee]

[FONT=&quot]Well, I guess we do it different in Indianapolis. The protesters arrived at the governor's mansion. Police were set up already after the 4 mile march. The protesters and police talked and then the protesters and police marched off together after hugging each other.[/FONT]

I think it has been mentioned that MN is a "duty to retreat" state. I believe they expect you to run out the back door if they kick in the front one. Idiots.

Well. Bless his heart for trying to think. But I’m pretty sure this isn’t gonna turn out like he planned.

Carmel has ruined their town.

As much as i'm against puting troops in the streets in LE rolls I came across this from the Rodney King riots in 92. I have to admit I did giggle a bit while reading this article.

When the Los Angeles Police Department responded to this particular domestic dispute during the 1992 LA riots, they likely didn't need the backing of the United States Marine Corps – but they had it anyway. Upon approaching the house, one officer was hit by a shotgun blast of birdshot. He called back to the Marines to cover him. Unfortunately, what "cover" meant to the Marines and to the LAPD were two different things.


Here it comes... Oorah....

The officer just wanted the threat of M-16s pointed at the house to keep the shooter from shooting again. The Marines thought the 200 rounds they fired into the house would be enough. They were probably both right. But that's not how the U.S. Army National Guard would have done it.
