George Floyd Protest/Riots

[Rickyvol77]

Protesting police brutality is a "waste of time"?

In this form and fashion, yes. It’s a problem that is rare and has different causes in different areas

No corruption i’m sure!

No doubt Black Opps “special forces” will get a big piece of that action.

In all seriousness, which department will take over if MPD were to be disbanded? St. Paul? Hennepin county sherriff's department? Staties?

You do realize that the second that takes place, the criminal element will take full advantage of that situation?

They (some council members) were talking about disbanding and reforming the department. Why do you guys keep leaving out the "reforming" part?

Brave souls, these Antifa people. Their heads need to be turned into a canoe.

These are your Antifa heros Zeppelin, this is who you want to turn Minneapolis over to? LOL, good luck with that. I guess the next time a travesty happens in Minneapolis they'll continue to blame the right? Idiocy.

Seems like some council members in Minneapolis want to reform the police department. Black-shirts murdering folks in the streets seems to be a Trumpist type thing.

Not reform...disband. do you support this

Minneapolis City Council president, Dem Jeremiah Ellison claim they'll 'dismantle' police

Jeremiah Ellison, a Minneapolis city councilman and son of state Attorney General Keith Ellison, is calling for the "dismantling" of the Minneapolis Police Department following days of nationwide protests over the death of George Floyd -- and he soon got the support of the City Council's president.

"We are going to dismantle the Minneapolis Police Department," Jeremiah Ellison tweeted Thursday.

Jeremiah Ellison posted his remarks in response to a user asking if any elected officials were brave enough to take on the police in their city or state. Days after Floyd's death, he tweeted in support of Antifa, an anti-fascist movement comprised of loose-knit groups that have drawn criticism for physical violence against far-right supporters and figures.

"I hereby declare, officially, my support for ANTIFA," Jeremiah Ellison tweeted May 31. "Unless someone can prove to me ANTIFA is behind the burning of black and immigrant-owned businesses in my ward, I’ll keep focusing on stopping the white power terrorist THE ARE ACTUALLY ATTACKING US!"

Because it will be nothing more than hamstringing police even more while making criminals even more brazen based on nothing more than a false narrative.

 

[zeppelin128]

And a rational person would assume he refers to rioters, not peaceful demonstration, would they not?

Why gas a peaceful demonstration for a photo op?

Why gas a peaceful demonstration for a photo op?

Because he has zero ****s to give about our civil liberties

 

[0nelilreb]

Speaking about what we see on here.

We are all talking about changes that needs to happen and not one person ( well not one liberal ) talks about the leaders in these urban cities that it happens in . Now I’m not a very bright person , but its kinda is like digging up the apple tree and moving it because you found some worms in the apples . Why don’t you just spray for the worms ?

Ok. What type of reform? Disbanding meaning zero police presence and that's not a wise move within any community.

Funny how some on here got triggered when Trump walked across the street to St Johns church, but not a word about the thugs trying to burn it to the ground.

I've denounced Antifa a while ago. And even admitted I thought they were legit at first back in 2016.

What does Trump have to do with police brutality?

That is pretty damn good.

And to think my wife who grew up a comrade in the Soviet Union, thought she had left all that behind.

Now here comes the pushback.

That is pretty damn good.

Olivia Jade donates to National Bail Out fund after facing backlash for 'WHITE PRIVILEGE' post

Olivia Jade Giannulli is trying to make a difference.

The YouTube personality, who is also the daughter of actress Lori Loughlin, announced on Instagram Thursday that she has donated to the National Bail Out fund.

Giannulli, 20, shared a video of herself participating in a viral trend in which a random generator suggests a Black Lives Matter organization to donate to. The game suggested she donate to National Bail Out, which works to "end systems of pretrial detention and ultimately mass incarceration," per its website.

In the video, Giannulli offered a thumbs up and also called on several other people, including her sister Isabella and boyfriend Jackson.

Next, the YouTuber shared a screenshot of her donation receipt, though she avoided revealing the amount of the donation.

The financial contribution comes a few days after Giannulli was called out online for her comments on using her "white privilege" to combat racism.

In a post on her Instagram Story, Giannulli committed to calling out racist acts as thousands of demonstrators took to the streets across the nation over the weekend to protest the death of George Floyd.

The influencer, whose parents recently pleaded guilty for their participation in the college admissions scandal, wrote that white people "need to understand that just 'not being racist is not enough' if you hear people saying disrespectful things, correct them."

But she faced criticism online.

"SHES THE DEFINITION OF WHITE PRIVILEGE SHE CONTRIBUTED TO IT WILLINGLY...her parents cheated her way into a school and only got 2 months in jail..she is not allowed to speak on the matter," one person wrote on Twitter.

"Her white privileged got her out of trouble," said another. "She needs a reality check! So tone deaf!" someone else expressed.

Again, some council members in Minneapolis talked about dismantling the MPD and replacing/reforming it with something different. That doesn't mean anarchy in the streets, or some shadow ass evil soros funded Zep supported Antifa squad taking the reigns.

And to think my wife who grew up a comrade in the Soviet Union, thought she had left all that behind.

It gets ugly at times for sure, but is inherent. If the violence was somehow politically organized and executed, it would seem we are in a new era. And I do not say that naively, just the scale.

Not reform...disband. do you support this

“I think we’ve had a vision for a while of wanting to see another kind of city response to those [911] calls,” says Council Member Steve Fletcher, whose Ward 3 covers parts of downtown.

Calls about mental health crises could be answered by mental health professionals. Calls about opioid abuse could be answered by addiction experts. Instead, both get cops, usually armed.

OMG EVERYBODY PANIC
