Do not defund police/ add more police (Minneapolis, St. Paul: office, rated)

[Umbria]

All this city has to do is enforce the existing laws. You do the crime you do the time. let them whine all they want. If you start burning things down - that's arson - major time. Bit by bit we will get rid of the trash.

Fair enough - I have never denied there are crazies who would support this sort of stuff, who look like me. They are the product of a system of K through college that has taught them to hate themselves.

With that said, a lot of people I saw on the news leading the charge on the 'Vote Yes' were POCs.

Certainly white people did support it but let's not act like it was just them.

A higher proportion of white people were in support of the yes campaign. It was mostly a bunch of white liberals who live in low crime areas that voted yes. I've seen more black people speaking against it than for it.

That's all fine and I don't deny whites were in favor of it, but Ive been watching the news all week and whenever they put someone on to champion the disband
d cause, they were usually POC who were leading the charge.

This is often the case; the people who actually suffer from violent crime never want the police to go away, though they almost always want police reform, less brutality, less stop-and-frisk tactics etc.

Whereas, the people who live in quiet, peaceful, safe areas are first in line to condemn the police's every mistake.

I guess George Floyd was an exception, although as I understand it, some (maybe a lot) of the agitators and instigators of the Floyd rioting in the Minneapolis-St Paul area were outsiders, or highly organized activists like antifa radicals for example.

Yep.

Idiot. White. Progressives.

The most willfully ignorant demographic in America by far.

Enforce laws, kill the no-bail catch and release policy. Prosecute all crimes. Without fear of prison, the crime wave will only grow.

Until this happens, nothing will change, it’s as simple as that. The no consequences is what has changed very recently.

Yes, there is a lot of self-hate in this vicinity. That explains why we put a terrorist (John Thompson) into state representative for our area.

Wow, I feel your pain. St. Paul is one of the most beautiful major cities in America. I would have loved to have lived down there once upon a time. Minneapolis, too, for that matter.....but St. Paul especially for me. I can't imagine what it must be like to have lived in a place like that your whole life only to see it destroyed by radical liberalism. Did Thompson ever resign? I don't think he did. He should have been removed from office after the Hugo thing alone. Very, very sad.
