While protests on Saturday were mostly peaceful, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey was met with a chorus of boos after telling a group of demonstrators he did not support abolishing the city police department.

Multiple videos on social media show the confrontation, which took place when protesters marched to Frey's home and called for him to come out, according to CNN affiliate WCCO-TV. Protesters asked Frey directly if he supported defunding the Minneapolis Police Department.

When Frey replied that he did not, the crowd booed him as he walked away. They also chanted "Go home, Jacob, go home" and "shame," according to video posted to Twitter.

Excommunication for not being 100% pure to the cause. Yep, this is a cult we're dealing with.

I thought their council approved defunding the department. I must’ve misunderstood?

I think Starbucks should support BLM by refusing to serve the mayor. Then he won't be able to get his soy lattes.

What’s sad is, he probably doesn’t. White liberals are fricking morons and will never learn.

And they'll still vote for him anyway because he has a (D) next to his name, and continue to wonder why nothing ever changes.

He’ll be getting on his knees to apologize and promising to defund the police by Wednesday.

I wish one big city would defund its Police Department. It would certainly put that issue to rest.

Let them abolish police. Then watch how many murders, rapes, kidnappings, robberies and all sorts of things happen. Then you’ll have the rise of vigilantes. Who will be ruthless and kill who they suspect on sight. They’ll probably go after the wrong person and kill innocent people. We’ve been down this road before.

While it's nice of him to not bend to that ridiculous demand, he's still a jackass for his handling of the beginning of the riots in Minneapolis to begin with, seeing as how he told the police to stand down and evacuate the 3rd precinct while the city burns along with the precinct.

Agree with everything we say or you have two options:

Death or re-education:

How are these people not either fascist Nazis or tyrannical communists again?

One usually follows the other. No both hate freedom, capitalism, and each other.
