And your reaction to this is....

They scare me more than the left-wingers. Much, much stronger and I wouldn't want to be a cop in that situation.

Glad there aren't a lot of them.

It's only going to escalate. The socialist/liberals have tied the hands of law enforcement and the anarchist are coming out in droves.

Coming to a neighborhood near you.

A growing number of Minneapolis police officers are quitting their jobs and are saying that they made the decision based on the lack of support that they have received from local Democrat political leaders.

“At least seven Minneapolis police officers have resigned from the department since widespread unrest began over the death of George Floyd last month, and more than half a dozen are in the process of leaving, according to department officials,” The Star Tribune reported Saturday. “Morale has sunk to new lows in recent weeks, say department insiders, as officers reported feeling misunderstood and squeezed by all sides: by the state probe; by protesters, who hurled bricks and epithets their way; by city leaders, who surrendered a police station that later burned on national television, and by the media. Numerous officers and protesters were injured the rioting.”

The Star Tribune underscores that the number of police officers who are quitting represents “an unusually large exodus.”

One officer that the newspaper spoke to said that officers do not feel appreciated and then questioned why he should stay when “everybody hates the police.”

Police told the newspaper that they were angered by Democratic Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey’s decision to abandon the Third Precinct police station, which they said they interpreted as a sign that he was siding with the rioters.

The Associated Press suggested that the recent calls by the Minneapolis City Council — which is controlled by Democrats — to defund the police also played a role.

A little over a week ago, the Minneapolis City Council announced its intent to disband the police department.

“We’re here because we hear you. We are here today because George Floyd was killed by the Minneapolis Police. We are here because here in Minneapolis and in cities across the United States it is clear that our existing system of policing and public safety is not keeping our communities safe,” City Council President Lisa Bender said. “Our efforts at incremental reform have failed. Period.”

“Our commitment is to do what is necessary to keep every single member of our community safe and to tell the truth that the Minneapolis Police are not doing that,” Bender claimed. “Our commitment is to end our city’s toxic relationship with the Minneapolis Police Department, to end policing as we know it, and to recreate systems of public safety that actually keep us safe.”

Bender later suggested on CNN that if someone breaks into your house and your instinct is to call the police, that is a sign that you have “privilege.” Those who would call the police in such a circumstance, she said, should “step back and imagine what it would feel like to already live in that reality where calling the police may mean more harm.”

We have a lot of folks in our area arming up.. The 55 year old lady that sits diagonal to me spent all day Saturday at the shooting range.. The owner of our company says he keeps two loaded AR's with full clips laying on a bed in his guest bedroom.. Ready... And you know the stuff I just bought.. I don't think "coming to a neighborhood near you" would be the best move for their cause. I'd wager most people on a personal level will deal with screeching autistic brat liberals a lot differently than these pussy politicians down in the city.

In 2009, a house was broken into down the street from me in the old neighborhood I used to live in. The police caught the guys responsible and they went to jail, but it drove the point home for me. I've handled guns before, but I've never owned one myself, so I went out and bought 2 that year, and acquired 3 more since then, and I'm looking to purchase #6 before the general election in November. I buy ammo every 3 months or so.

Twitter is having a meltdown after discovering that of the $35M donated to the Minnesota Freedom Fund, only $200k has been used to bail out protesters.

This is why I roll my eyes when my white girl friends (from Canada) post screenshots congratulating themselves on Instagram for donating to a fund they know nothing about.

Protests and causes aside, let this be a lesson to dummies who want to just throw money at problems with both eyes closed

This one's on my team

Notice they haven't turned it off yet? Their original goal was $1.5 million and it's blown way past that by almost 10 fold. Most times once people exceed their goal, they stop accepting donations. But oh no, not these people, keep letting that money roll in. And what's worse is, there are still people contributing to it.

You haven't contributed yet?

Did that match or vary from your reaction to similar actions by alleged "black rights" supports?
