Knowing the city of Minneapolis could erupt in riots again, city and state officials say they have learned from the unrest following the death of George Floyd and will better respond to trouble in the future. They’re improving their communication and planning. They have contingency plans to deploy personnel. Still, they face the challenges of a dwindling Minneapolis police force, a technologically limited 911 system and the uncertainty of when and where more unrest might occur. “I would be foolish to try and go on record and try to guarantee safety. I can’t do that,” said John Harrington, commissioner of the Minnesota Department of Public Safety.

The citizens of Minneapolis might try voting Republican, and squash the de-funding of police nonsense.

If people want this to end, they should vote for different people.

The entire country needs better intelligence on how these "local" events are planned, coordinated, and funded by shadow organizations like BLM that are shells for international political movements feverishly working to undermine our faith in law enforcement. The pattern they are following is based on the "color" revolutions used in Europe and the Middle East. Stop wringing your hands and follow the money by infiltrating these groups and arresting their criminal operatives.

Minnesota has the WORST IT Systems in the country! I consulted there and was later at a health insurance company. Minnesota could not accept an SFTP file. (Secure File Transfer Protocol). They could only do FTP, which nobody had done for at least 10 years because of the ability to easily hack these transmissions! (SFTP is a bare minimum for security, by the way). They are terrible and under current leadership they will continue to deteriorate!

Elections (misguided) have Consequences. A recent GOP report nailed it. NoBalz Walz and JV Frey can share the blame for the lack of leadership during the so-called peaceful demonstrations (riots).

Obama's Black Shirt Fascist thugs will join forces with the ANTIFA Black Shirt Fascist thugs and burn Minneapolis to the ground when it is proved in court that George Floyd died of a massive fentanyl overdose, methamphetimine overdose, chronic heart disease, and COVID-19 (yes, folks, he tested positive and probably is listed among the ones "killed" by the China Virus).

I was talking to a friend yesterday about seattle in particular - they have lost, through retirement and resignations about 10% of their police over the last couple of months with many more to follow I'm sure.
The big question for these idiot lib cities is who are they going to get to replace the mostly honest, dedicated, usually courageous to one degree or another officers? The lowest prehire test score in my academy class (many decades ago) was 95%. By the 1990's depending on ones affirmative action category they were hiring with scores of 70%. Most of those people were adequate with some outstanding. I can't see anyone with a room temperature IQ and a somewhat clean rap sheet wanting to be a big city cop these days and it will probably take decades for that to change, if ever.

A dozen good men with shotguns and the will to use them would end the burning and looting within 3 nights.

Why would they be worrying for all their peaceful protests resuming? I would say that the big target date for the peaceful protests resuming will be the day after it is announced that President Trump has been re-elected!

I`ll predict, here and now, that Donald Trump will carry Minnesota. He came close to picking off the state in 2016, and after the grotesque negligence of both the Democratic governor and the soy-boy Dem mayor of Minneapolis, I`d wager that Minnesotans are as mad as hell. There`s a lot more to Minnesota than the Twin Cities, a fact that Democrat "operatives" forget at their peril. We`ll see well-attended Trump rallies in Minnesota, no doubt about it.

Quick! Hire a slew of social workers and professional de-escalation gurus. Problem solved! You're welcome, Minnesota.

Moga M'bip Ska has neither the ability nor the desire to control Peaceful Protestors, yet they desperately need tax revenue from retailers whose stores will be blown out again when the protests "turn violent." Talk about a liberal high-wire act. Hang in there, baby!
