So much for Defund the Police! Minneapolis wants to draft in extra cops to help fight wave of violent crime after dozens quit in disgust at $1million budget cut following George Floyd’s death

Minneapolis is scrambling to draft in cops from outside the city’s force to help fight a wave of violent crime just months after it began moves to defund its police.

The city is pleading for reinforcements from the sheriff’s office and the transit authority to help respond to a surge in violent 911 calls.

Why would they volunteer to jump into that shit storm?  They know the city won’t back them.

It comes after dozens of officers quit the force in protest at a $1million budget cut and promises from city leaders to scrap the entire department following the death of George Floyd in May.

Since then, violent crime in the city has soared – with homicide, robbery, aggravated assault, burglary, theft and arson all up on last year’s figures.

Who didn’t see that coming? Except for utopian Progressives who don’t live in the real world.

In July, the city council voted to move $1.1million from the police department’s budget and fund ‘civilian violence interrupters’ instead.

The ‘well-trained and unarmed’ staff are designed to ‘mediate violent conflicts and help prevent further trouble’.

Really effective guys at preventing crime.  Bang up job.

That decision let to a 54% increase in homicide, 20% increase in violent assault, and 25% inclined robbery.

The Minnesota Freedom Fighters was formed in late May after the NAACP chapter in the city’s north, predominantly black, neighborhood put out a call for residents to help protect small businesses from violence, fires and looting.

A group of about two dozen men gathered and have patrolled the streets since, carrying AR-15s and Glocks and wearing tactical vests and bandannas.

They have been welcomed by the city, who called their actions ‘commendable’.

When there are no cops you’re on you’re own.

I will say: Leftist standards are so high they’re double.

If a bunch of armed white guys was patrolling the neighborhood, they would be called the Klan.  They already do that to open carry protesters.

Defund the Police has failed everywhere it’s been tried.  It’s the zenith of limousine liberal, rich white Progressive, soft bigotry of low expectations pandering.

Minneapolis made it’s bed, now it has to sleeping in it.  Fuck ’em.

On the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month…

And an old newspaper art I found not too long ago.

I am going to quote myself from the original post.

I think of Memorial Day as WWII/Vietnam/Desert Storm and the Wars of Post 9/11.  I never thought that Veterans from the Civil War and WWI would be sharing memories of those who fell, but they surely did.

CNN was the first network to project Democrat Joe Biden as the winner of the 2020 election early Saturday and reaped the top Nielsen ratings for the fifth and final day of the election coverage.

CNN beat the TV competition in total viewers Saturday with 4.2 million (as well as leading for adults 25-54 and younger viewers 18-34), according to Nielsen. MSNBC was second with 3 million, Fox News Channel third with 1.73 million.

CNN tops ratings for election Day 5 after cable network is first to project Joe Biden as winner

I think it was Rush Limbaugh that said something like this about elected people changing when they moves to DC: it was hard for some to remain faithful to principles when you are surrounded by your moral competitors. The need to be a part of a community will eventually lead the weak to forsake their beliefs. They also want to be invited to parties and be recognized and that does not happen if you dare to be different, so they change to fit.

This also applies to Fox News. NYC is/was the great Media center and Fox News was seen as the interloper, the Rodney Dangerfield dressed in loud clothes invading the immaculate sanctity of the country club golf course. But eventually they started to change and behave more and more as the competition. I gave up on them as source of news when Sheppard Smith was granted the channel’s top celebrity spotlight and he finally started to show his hidden liberal feathers.  I believe what they did to O’Reilley was morally dishonest and their lack of backbone defending Hannity and Tucker Carlson speaks volumes about where management truly stands.

And then came the 2020 election where the Never-Trumpers and other selected Liberals in Red decided to support the Democrats.  I guess that was pretty much the last nail for millions of viewers, enough to send the channel behind MSNBC in electoral ratings, something I think it has not happened since the network was created.

The worst part? Don’t expect the other side to come flocking and make up for lost ratings: They are so hated by Liberals that a traditional “Insult” against Conservatives is to be told he watches too much Fox News.

And after this election, it has indeed become an insult.

We are supposed to be told if a body is ever found. 😀

So I will be spending time again rebuilding the databases for the Florida Legislature. I won’t complain much since it seems we made great strides in this election. We picked 7 seats in the House for a 78 to 42 distribution.  In the Senate, as of right now we stand at 23 Republicans and 16 Democrats while we wait for  a recount of District 37 between Republican Ileana Garcia and Democrat Jose Javier Rodriguez.

Either way, the Florida legislature remains firmly Republican. Let’s see if we can convince them to stop being wusses and get us some nice pro-gun bills?

Last week I wrote a post about Vox writer Ian Millheiser’s idea to pay Progressives to move to Wyoming long enough to vote in their elections and put in Progressive Senators.

Andrew Yang, whose transformation into a piece of shit is now complete, fronted a similar idea in Georgia for the January runoff.

Great news #yanggang – Evelyn and I are moving to Georgia to help @ossoff and @ReverendWarnock win! This is our only chance to clear Mitch out of the way and help Joe and Kamala get things done in the next 4 years. More details to come but let’s go!!! 😀🇺🇸🚀 https://t.co/egcdwqC1qZ

Thinking About Moving to Georgia to Vote in Runoffs? Better Hurry and Plan to Stay

The two Senate runoff races under way in Georgia give Democrats a chance to flip seats currently held by Republicans, and some activists on social media have discussed the prospect of moving to the Peach State to vote in the Jan. 5 elections.

Former Democratic presidential candidate Andrew Yang already announced on Twitter that he and his wife are moving to Georgia to campaign for the Democratic candidates, Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff, against Republican Sens. David Perdue and Kelly Loeffler. He did not say whether he planned to register to vote in the state.

All the chatter raises the question: Is it legal?

The answer is: yes, but any potential voters would have to move quickly since the last day to be registered for the Jan. 5 contests is Dec. 7. And, the new resident also would have to stay in the state for a while or risk getting into trouble.

Under Georgia law, anyone with a legal primary residence in the state can register to vote with their county board of elections. The law does not specify a specific time limit.

A spokesman for the Georgia Secretary of State’s Office, which oversees voter registrations, declined to comment on how quickly someone could establish legal residency in Georgia, but cited state law that it is a felony to vote in Georgia elections if you are not a legal resident or if you are residing in the state briefly with the intention just to vote and then move away.

So, progressives find cheap apartments or condos in Georgia, get a lease, register to vote, vote, then let the lease expire at the end of the year.  For Progressives with the privilege of teleworking, this wouldn’t be that hard to do.

Conceivably, they wouldn’t even have to live there, just have it documented on paper.

Besides, how often would this type of malfeasance be investigated and prosecuted?

This would be the ultimate form of exploitative colonialism, to move in and rob a state of its self-determination.

The is voter suppression, the Left directly attacking your ballot box.

In case the video doe not cue to the teaching moment, go to 2:49

By y count, this guy too at least four rounds of 5.56 before finally stopping. And that was aiming at the least moving part of his whole body. This guy even got to prancing which made his legs impossible to shoot accurately, yet this is what Sleepy Joe wants everybody to do.

Screw that: Center Mass is the way to go in situations like this. Anything else is suicidal.
