If I were a cop in a blue city I would retire and find another line of work.....

~~~~~~
It's the Mayor and Police Chief that are at fault, not the average cop on the beat.
I'm sure that they would have gladly waded into the crowd of rioters with their sticks to inflict pain on those thugs.

You mean "those blacks", right, racist piggy piggy?
Maybe if we could get decent people into our police departments who didn't shoot unarmed black people they wouldn't feel the need to riot.

You're one white guy, probably over the age of 50, who does not know what it's like to feel fear when you drive down the fucking street, right asshole?

Grab ahold of yourself!
Or go out and protest tonite and start a fire,
.

Of course he did. He's a coward.

LOL!
I bet you still believe PizzaGate, too.

Minneapolis Mayor DEFENDS abandoning 3rd precinct in order to prevent 'hand-to-hand' combat between protesters and 'outnumbered' officers - as cops claim officials were 'content to let the city be overrun'

Minneapolis Mayor: '3rd Precinct was abandoned to prevent combat'

In an interview Friday, Mayor Jacob Frey claimed that he and Police Chief Medaria Arradondo also believed that vacating the building would 'deescalate the situation'.

Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey says the city's 3rd Police Precinct was ordered to be evacuated late Thursday to avoid 'hand-to-hand combat' with rioters who later stormed the building and set it on fire.
In an interview with WCCO Friday, Frey claimed that he and Police Chief Medaria Arradondo also believed that vacating the building would 'deescalate the situation' and stop police from being 'overwhelmed'.
He also furiously denied claims from cops that he was 'content with letting the city be overrun'.
'We are a police force totaling over 800 officers with far, far less than that on active duty at a given time. Simply by the numbers, we were going to be overwhelmed. It's a matter of math, not planning,' Frey stated.
Last officers left the 3rd Precinct around 10pm Thursday, although most were already out patrolling the city during a third night of protests over the death of black man George Floyd.
'Our resources were beyond tapped. We had around 30 – 50 priority 1 calls that weren't being responded to at any given moment, on top of what was happening. We were overwhelmed. Every available officer was out,' Frey claimed.
Images of rioters setting fire to the 3rd Police Precinct were beamed around the world Friday, symbolizing a city out of control.
Several people were pictured inside the building, roaming through its corridors with baseball bats, axes and torches while scrawling graffiti on the walls.

Comment:
Actually, the abandonment of Precinct 3 ordered by Mayor Frey and Police Chief Arradondo made the rioting and looting worse.
Obviously both didn't refer to history... Authorities have realized that in the UK during the riots. They just got worse, until the police took back control after four days..
Unfortunately that is the result of a Blue State Governor, Mayor and appointed Police Chief. IMHO, both the Mayor and Police Chief should be removed from their positions. Actually Governor Walz is equally responsible.
The governor, mayor, and police chief all came to the microphone with platitudes and nothing but cowardice.
They claim to be in charge but did NOTHING and used no resources at their disposal to protect the people and their property.
Typical Progressive Marxist Socialist/DSA Democrat Leftist cowardice.
Strangely, had there been an attempt to burn down the mayor’s residence you can be rest assured the perpetrators would be have shot dead faster than a rabbit has sexual intercourse.
That wouldn’t happen of course, since the mayor is helping to direct this whole charade.
Actually a volley or two of bean bags followed by tear gas and an announcement that the next volley would be lethal would have dispersed the mob assaulting the Precinct quickly.

I am more embarrassed to be an American by the conduct of thousands of Americans than from the conduct of one.

Ahh..but you see rioter and looters..while the pols see voters! Must not beanbag the electorate, right?


Btw..I'd have dusted them off with riot gas...and lots of it...if they tried to force the station...fire-hoses and nightsticks.

Did Minnesota's Governor Say that White Supremacists are Part of the Chaos in Minneapolis?

Comment:
This has nothing to do with some guy being killed while in custody.
None of these events should come as a surprise to anyone. Progressive Marxist Socialist/DSA Democrat Leftists have been telling us for the past several months that this summer was going to be riots from coast to coast. The “Russia Collusion” thing didn’t work. Nor did “Quid Pro Quo” or that kangaroo court “impeachment” BS. PMS/DSA Leftists then went for broke with their Wuhan Virus and that has been an epic fail too. Now they think rioting, looting, arson and mayhem is going to get rid of President Trump. This too shall fail.
St this very moment there are volunteers in the cities that were marred by the riots cleaning up the mess left by these thugs.
Too bad the thugs in Atlanta didn't do to CNN as what was done to Precinct 3 in St. Paul.
Supposedly both the Governor, Mayor and Police Chief in Minnesota have threatened to come down on the rioters today/night.
Personally I doubt it. Why haven't there been any arrests up to now?
In addition AG Barr just announced that people arrested found to be non-residence of the State they're arrested in while rioting will be tried under federal statutes.

"This has nothing to do with some guy being killed while in custody.""

It has to do with a LOT of UNARMED black guys being killed over the past decade by WHITE COPS, you stupid cockroach.

You Republicans have really donned the Donald mantel of eschewing personal responsibility and deflecting the blame from the actual perp.

Hmm...., Statistics don't support your allegation, while black on black crime and murder makes your accusation look irresponsible. While we're at it. What was your response last weekend when 42 black people were shot and ten killed in Chicago? Did you protest for those victims?
George Floyd allegedly committed a federal crime by passing a bogus $20 dollar bill. This triggered his arrest and his death because of his underlying heart disease. The coroner's report has revealed this and he did not die from asphyxia or strangulation.

People shot to death by U.S. police, by race 2024 | Statista

The trend of fatal police shootings in the U.S. seems to only be increasing each year, with 1,097 civilians, 225 of whom were Black, killed by police in 2022.

Most in deep blue Progressive Socialist cities and areas. you will kill your own big time when in total power along with those deplorables. Labor camps and extermitoriums as far as you can see. And the jobs created to do this. Oh the jobs.

Show me a large city that isn't Democratic.
And please, you wouldn't know a real socialist if one walked up and slapped you across your bloated, sweaty fat face.

I lived in cities. Worked in the inner city and have met some political people and block captains and community organizers. Maybe I have not met a socialist according to you. But they sure sounded like that. And I do not have a bloated, sweaty fat face. At least not now.

 

[Andylusion]

They likely never should have gone in. Once you do you are committed. Retreating likely made them bolder.

Agreed. Once you pull back, that gives the apes the idea they can push authority around. It will just make them more dangerous in the future, and possibly more lives lost.

I grew up in Williamsburg Brooklyn, lived in East New York and City line and met people like Schumer and Nadler who made promises to voters and never lived up to those promises.
I have yet to see Schumer pay for dinner even when his father was alive. Chuckie seems always to have short arms and is in slow motion reaching for the bill. A good Socialist all the way.

Shameful blue city cops....an embarrassment to law enforcement....run away...like little cowards....

You're right....they're shameful all right.
Derek Chauvin, officer arrested in George Floyd’s death, has a record of shootings and complaints

Derek Chauvin, officer arrested in George Floyd's death, has a record of shootings and complaints

The Minneapolis officer fired after George Floyd's death was involved in police shootings during his 19-year career.

But if you think these assholes are Dems, there's an 84% chance you are wrong.

The 2016 POLICE Presidential Poll

There have been few presidential elections in U.S. history where both major party candidates were so disliked by much of the electorate as this year's contest between Democrat Hillary Clinton and Republican Donald Trump.

www.policemag.com

Chauvin is a white cop in a Democratic run city in a Democratic run state. And, yet, you blame the right. 18 complaints; 2 shootings. And the black police chief did nothing about him. And you blame the right. You realize, don't you, that that just makes you an idiot?

 

[Levant]

But the cops ARE standing down! Cowards all.

Some will defend the police, pointing out that the mayors or their leaders ordered them to stand down. If I were a cop I would uphold my oath. If I saw a crime I would arrest the criminal. And if the mayor ordered me to stop and interfered, I'd arrest him, too. If I couldn't do that, for whatever reason, I'd either get a police job in a city where I could arrest criminals or I would change my line of work.

 

[easyt65]

'hand-to-band's combat?

To hell with that....you shoot 1 or 2 - drop them right inside the door, and it stops .... Immediately.

If you show this shit won't be tolerated ... AT ALL ... You have far less of a problem letting animals get away with whatever they want teaches them they can do the same thing over and over.

Hell no.

THIS is no longer about FLOYD.....

National Guard and law enforcement ran in with tear gas and rubber bullets. Whole different scene here tonight. Better not be on the streets here or face injury and arrest.
They are not screwing around tonight. 4500 troops deployed with others responding to Fargo, Duluth, St Cloud.
