Minneapolis police in the news again

[Andiron]

Did you know that the Americas were stolen from blacks? They were here first.
Actually had a guy try to educate me on this.

http://raceandhistory.com/historicalviews/ancientamerica.htm

Yes there could have been early contact between Native Americans and Africa blacks, it's not that far, but this is where it really gets super wacked out

He even went on about how the slave trade and Native (Indian) wars is a lie invented to cover up the white near genocide of the rightful black owners of the Americas and white people need give it back and get the blank out. Oh, and leave all your "stolen" wealth while you're at it.
I remember finding articles on the internet about this but have since lost track and honesty I don't feel at the moment like looking them up again but it's a real movement

DAS RIGHT!

You don't know the half of it man,  but you will.  ALL of history was stolen from the blacks.  And the black Israelites are here to tell you about it.  The wuz Kangz after all....

I am hearing the Atlanta DA is up for reelection, under investigation by the GBI for corruption, and I think there was something else.  And I am hearing it was unusual for him to present all the evidence in a press conference before this even goes before a grand jury.  Also, 2 weeks before, I hear he was pressing charges on 6 officers who pointed a taser at a lady and was accusing the officers of threatening her with a deadly weapon.  At the time he said Georgia law says a taser is a deadly weapon (that is on video and is spreading around on the internet).  He also claimed one of the officers was cooperating as a state's witness.  The lawyer for that officer came out and said that wasn't true.  

So lots of inconsistent stuff and other things that make me think this is all a show.  In the meantime, he is persecuting the officers in the media.  He is trying to make a name for himself by prosecuting cops because he is set to lose his election.

Did we really need yet another poster child case to show why no-knock warrants should not be issued for drug investigations? It's a bleepin' SEARCH warrant, not an arrest warrant. The police should not be breaking down doors in the middle of the night to "serve" search warrants.

My problem is that once again, this takes an issue that can affect anyone and makes it only about black people. I wouldn't be surprised if there were WAY more no knocks on white people than on black people. An issue that everyone could come together on and maybe do some good for everyone, and we're back to "racial justice" instead of fixing what is broken.

But it seems to only be an issue to the MSM and pols when it's white cops vs blacks. When was the last time you heard any media outrage for the police killing of a white man despite the fact it actually happens more often. Why is one more wrong than the other? Why is the cop seemingly only bad when they're white? Why is the "victim" seemingly only innocent when they're black? Victim is in quotes because it seems like 99% they're the ones who started the confrontation and all too often they had a long as my arm arrest record.

Yes there are bad cops but I'm sick and tired of feeling a ping pong ball in a political game by the media and pols  

[MechAg94]

Then you also realize that firing the officer involved in the shooting doesn't fix anything.  It just means that one officer won't be serving the next no knock warrant search warrant.  Others will.

In typical politician fashion they keep offering peasants to the wolves in the hope they get satisfied before they get to them.
Some may refer to that as appeasement

One of the Minneapolis cops was black.  I didn't know that until a coworker pointed it out to me.  (from the pics I thought he might be Arab or something) He was one of the two rookies.  The media is mostly covering up that factoid.  It also seems that the MPD brass is pairing up rookies with known bad cops; I guess to teach them the ropes.  If Mpls city council really does disband the police, I'm not sure the resulting chaos will be any worse than what they have now.

If it goes against the narrative it never happened

Looks like Colorado took the Cato Institute's advice:
https://lawandcrime.com/george-floyd-death/colorados-progressive-governor-and-legislature-just-ended-qualified-immunity-for-police-officers/

Colorado Governor Jared Polis (D), a progressive, signed an omnibus reform bill into law on Friday to end qualified immunity for police officers in the state.

“This is a long overdue moment of national reflection,” Polis said at the signing ceremony. “This is a meaningful, substantial reform bill.”

If I remember right, minority police (including black police) have been involved in a number of these incidents. The Left doesn't care what color the officers are, probably because it can only complicate their fictional narrative. Also:

“She’s a cop. She was a top cop at an extremely brutal police department. She was a vocal supporter of brutal actions by police,” said Hawk Newsome, who co-founded BLM’s Greater New York chapter with his sister, congressional candidate Chivona Newsome.

“We are working to abolish police. We are working to defund police,” Hawk said in a phone interview. “When you are a police officer, you are not black anymore. You are blue.”

“When you are a police officer, you are not black anymore. You are blue.”

He's got a point.

I don't think abolishing the police is the answer.  It might be in a few jurisdictions.

Yeah i think it was last week I saw a story that said officers of color where more likoto shoot a poc then a white cop. I'm sure it is buried in the google search because it sure wasn't on the evening news

Rioters in California tear down a statue of infamous white supremacist Ulysses S. Grant:

I'm guessing at this point they're just going after any statue of a white guy.

Like that wasn't the intent from the start.


We are watching historical revision in progress.

Good question in the comments: How does NPR know the driver is "right wing"? If I were in that situation, right wing or no, I'd absolutely use my car as a weapon. As another person mentioned, some people remember Reginald Denny. NPR is the worst.
