Thread: Minneapolis city council shocked to see rise in crime

  1. #11
    What's that saying? "Be careful what you ask for, you might just get it."

    Just like Baltimore (during the Freddie Gray fiasco), another community drives police away only to discover that they need the police.

    If there is one bitch that I'll always love, it is Karma. Long may she live.

    Where are the police? Hopefully, laughing at the dumbasses who demanded defunding all of them.

    This sounds suspiciously like a "Let them eat cake!" moment for the Minneapolis City council membership.

    My violence interrupter comes in 9mm.
    Wouldn't "violence retarder" be a better term for the folks they want to hire?

    Just a thought...

    (My portable violence interrupter is fed with .38+P Special at the moment. But violence will be interrupted with 12 gauge on my property.)

And city officials should be prohibited from hiring private security.

    I don't know what they're yelling at the cops for. Clearly the violence retarders are the ones not doing their jobs....

    Hmmm. A quick tour around the web, eg. Star tribune, et al., shows that this thing is just as fucked up as it appears at first glance. That city council isn’t playing with a full deck.

    Well, she is going for the classic politician position of "if we just properly funded my program, we wouldn't have this problem".
    No matter how bad it gets, the solution will remain "more money for my program".

    I like the excuse that Minneapolis is supposedly a hotbed of white supremacists.

    White people live there, and all white people are white supremacist, so...
