The City of Minneapolis is spending $4,500 a day for private security for three council members who have received threats following the police killing of George Floyd.
quote:
The three council members who have the security detail – Andrea Jenkins (Ward 8), and Phillipe Cunningham (Ward 4), and Alondra Cano (Ward 9)– have been outspoken proponents of defunding the Minneapolis Police Department.
Councilmember Phillipe Cunningham declined to discuss the security measures. “I don’t feel comfortable publicly discussing the death threats against me or the level of security I currently have protecting me from those threats,” said Cunningham in a text message. Cunningham added that the security is temporary.
Councilmember Andrea Jenkins said she has been asking for security since she was sworn in. She said current threats have come in the form of emails, letters, and posts to social media. “My concern is the large number of white nationalist(s) in our city and other threatening communications I’ve been receiving,”

You just can't make this stuff up.

How many police reports filed? I call baloney on white nationalist threats.

They should save the city a lot of money and arm themselves with a firearm.

I did not see this coming.

A spokesperson for Minneapolis Police told FOX 9 the department does not have any recent police reports of threats against city council members. It is possible a report could have been filed confidentially.
Jenkins said she has not reported the threats to Minneapolis Police because she has been preoccupied with the dual crisis of the “global pandemic and global uprising” over the killing of George Floyd.
Jenkins said the threats have attacked her ethnicity, gender identity, and sexuality.

It's not private security if it's funded with public money.

Those are the people entrusted with making decisions that impact an entire city? And they were elected?
Yikes.
Yikes.

I don't know why, but I haven't been able to stop laughing since I clicked on this thread.

It's funny, and at the same time it's not the least bit funny.
Beating a dead horse, but liberalism really is a mental disorder.

Isn't this a win for conservatives?
Privatization of services instead of public funded services?
And there's no union to worry about dealing with.

No, it's hilarity. Laughing at ivory tower hypocrisy never goes out of style
Libertarians want private security.
