On hiring.......more police



$6.4M to hire more police

quote:

Minneapolis will spend $6.4 million to hire dozens more police officers after a large number of cops left the department in the aftermath of George Floyd’s killing and the protests that followed.

Several cops quit, retired or went on extended medical leave, many for PTSD claims, after last spring’s riots that included a precinct being burned down and calls to end the police force. Some 155 officers remain on some form of extended leave, the report said.

In the months since the protests, many residents have urged the city to hire more cops, saying they’re waiting longer for responses to 911 calls amid a surge of violent crime.


who didn’t see this shite coming....

Day and night, the bullets zip through this predominantly Black neighborhood, hitting cars and homes and people. The scores of victims have included a 7-year-old boy, wounded in a drive-by shooting; a woman who took a bullet that came through her living room wall while she

Makes no sense to vote unanimously for the additional police while some of the same folks that voted for the funding are also actively seeking to defund and dismantle the Minneapolis PD. Crazy world these communists are creating.

actually, defending police and then refunding allows you to refill the ranks with people that are supportive of certain political ideologies. to become communist you have to have loyal police and military. that is why trumping are being purged from military

All this because of George Floyd.

I will never understand why everybody took this and ran with it the way they did


Out of all the people. George Floyd

There is no doubt in my mind that people in this country are some of the dumbest in the world
