“Among those bailed out by the Minnesota Freedom Fund (MFF) is a suspect who shot at police, a woman accused of killing a friend, and a twice-convicted sex offender, according to court records,” Fox 9 says. “According to attempted murder charges, Jaleel Stallings shot at members of a SWAT Team during the riots in May. Police recovered a modified pistol that looks like an AK-47. MFF paid $75,000 in cash to get Stallings out of jail.”

The MFF also put up more $100,000 for an alleged murderer and $350,000 for “a twice-convicted rapist, who “is currently charged with kidnapping, assault, and sexual assault in two separate cases.”
Quote:
When trying to deflect criticism, Greg Lewin, the interim executive director of the fund, made a key acknowledgment.

“I often don’t even look at a charge when I bail someone out,” Lewin said. “I will see it after I pay the bill because it is not the point. The point is the system we are fighting.
the original point of MFF was to provide support for illegal immigrants, and to oppose the cash bail system that kept some low-level impoverished suspects in jail.

Not on the left. Grow up.

Another who can’t understand non-partisan perspectives because politics is their god.

But arrest records show that many right leaning thugs have been right in the thick of it too.

Yes -- the thugs are using the guise of the protests for violence/crimes....but it isn't representative of either the left or right.

The big businesses like oil, banks, shipping and the internet are doing just fine.
True...so true. Sad to see.

Correct. And if BLM wants to become free and separate, they’re welcome to it. The sooner the better in fact.

Thanks for trying to fight the stupidity of the radical left posters. I gave up long ago.



The can't control themselves


Like a toddler who's Mommy won't buy them a toy, they throw themselves on the ground, kicking and screaming in the middle of Walmart.

Only now they've grown up and graduated to burning, looting, killing.

This summer-long protest movement masquerading as anti-racism is anti-police, plain and simple. They don't even try to hide it anymore, yet the establishment media keeps covering for them by saying violent actions are just part of protest movement and 'uprisings.'


According to ABC News, 'protesters' tried to attack police while being arrested. One of them was a member of the press.

you are naive if you think thugs ambushing cops is because of trump. 5 were murdered in dallas in july, 2016.

If trump loses or if he wins in november, the radicals will not stop. they will escalate attacks on police and innocent citizens. criminals are emboldened now. their reign of terror is just beginning.
If anything, you can blame Obama. He was the first Black president and he did what he always did when faced with a problem. Whine. Act helpless. How are Black people to feel when a Black president acts like we have horrible racism and he can't do anything about it?
