Minneapolis police in the news again

[WLJ]

Good question in the comments: How does NPR know the driver is "right wing"?

He did something against someone doing something

[Perd Hapley]

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.

The driver, whose name was redacted in the report, told police that protesters surrounded her car and “a verbal altercation occurred after which the protesters began to reach into her car, scratching her vehicle window … and assaulting her, pulling her hair (pulling out a dreadlock).”

You can tell it was a right-winger. They always have those fashy dreadlock hair-dos.

In the video, the woman tries to back up to get away from the protestors. Twice. They just followed her, and kept assaulting her. So she drove forward, and flipped a guy over, and presumably got away safely. Stupid NPR.

NPR's tweet has been memory-holed.

I'm a little late on this one but I just had to say something.

"Staggering?"  Your prejudice is showing, dearie.

Local news for me
It was a black woman who got in an argument with a protester  

As to the claim that WLKY purposely omitted part of the video my understanding is that there are two videos, the one they had at the time started after the confrontation had stated and that they didn't have the second one taken by another individual showing the initial confrontation until later.

Probably the same doofus who predicted the Hell's Angels and Mongols were going to team up and destroy CHOP in Seattle.

I'd kinda like to see a Mongol horde take out the CHAZ.

You only need one Mongol to take out the CHAZ/CHOP. 

[Ben]

Or maybe a Mongol band.

Looks like Trump is the first leader, fed, state, or local, to drop the hammer regarding destruction of historical monuments. It will be interesting to see if there is a drop in the destruction of monuments on Federal property vs those in other areas.

I hope they didn't cover their tats. :)

May be an interesting experiment/demonstration of facial/somatic recognition technology.  Kind of interesting in that most of the mobsters throughout this mish-mosh were not wearing masks.  Maybe we should encourage that.
 

Hmmmm... popcorn... hmmmm.

Look out, BLM.  The U.S. Marshals are on their way.

U.S. Marshals have been told they should prepare to help protect national monuments across the country, according to an email directive viewed by The Washington Post, as President Trump has vowed stern punishment for those who vandalize or destroy such structures as part of police violence protests.

Seems like black people would be getting sick of these white people:

These white liberals are nuts:

Another resident, Mitchell Erickson, said he regretted calling 911 when two black teenagers cornered him a block away from his home, held a gun to his chest and demanded his car keys. Erickson said he mistakenly handed over his house keys, and the frustrated teens left him only to steal another car a few blocks away.

“Been thinking more about it,” Erickson said in a text message to a reporter. “I regret calling the police. It was my instinct but I wish it hadn’t been. I put those boys in danger of death by calling the cops.”

I try, but I just can't understand how someone can have that experience and not want to defend themselves in some manner - even if it's only calling the police.  I wonder if doubt he even thought about the (probable) later theft and how it may have impacted someone else.

If the thieves went to the next victim and shot them, someone like this guy would find a way to blame that victim for being shot.

And then congratulate himself on how "woke" he is.

Selfish, narcissistic bastards.

Modern society has arrived at this level of widespread stupidity because we have made it our "thing" to stop Darwinism from running its course. At some point we are going to have to allow a hands-off natural correction if humanity is to remain viable.

Hey kids. Did you know that not engaging in criminal activity reduces to practically zero your chance of being killed by a police office and greatly reduces your chance of being murdered overall?
Amazing isn't it?
Yes I know, it's unbelievable. Probably just extreme far right wing propaganda
