    Did you just read the topic and react without actually reading the thread. Wow the world is nuts indeed when people are too lazy to actually read and understand the positions. I guess it is all too easy to read one headline then actually try to be informed. It is programs like Hannity and Tucker that propagate these things. What makes it even worse they have the president’s ear.

    They won't have jobs to pay you back.

    Hopefully, they wouldn't. They don't deserve jobs in any kind of law enforcement or serving our nation. That's for sure.

    If you defund the police you'll end up with private security forces (former police) and the have's will have security and the have-nots will need to arm themselves.

    I havent seen any but if we are going to ignore the numbers and give in to the narrative then this would be a better scenario than defunding the police.

    I just read that there are more body cam tapes and Ellison is refusing to release them. Wtf?! This guy shouldn’t be the one prosecuting. He’s trying for a Murder 2 and if he can’t get a conviction there will be more riots. This PhuckBag AG has so many skeletons it’s not funny. He allegedly beat the **** out of his wife. He’s been photo’d w Antifa literature. Please get a real prosecutor. Hopefully by the time of the trial the public will speak out and they’ll get a competent prosecutor.

    Yes under MN law you can use force to protect a third party.

    Are you advocating that civilians should've shot LEO's in that situation?

    Exactly ONE of the things I was referring to. It is why it is offensive to propose this idea as anything having to do with rational solutions.

    The irony could be spotted miles away for libertarians, though the American people have been "tough on crime" since D.A.R.E. with consensus to escalate for both sides...hey Joe!!

    Who knows what the final outcome is though. Talks are early and emotional, but moderate voices better prevail or Trump has a stump to waddle onto and show off his trendy bible with a human skin jacket.

    Glad i don't live in MN...can't even imagine what will happen in the future.

    While something is happening but as mentioned before. If the top doesn't change, nothing will change.
    Top - leaders who define the policies and guidance for their town, city, state, district, etc etc.
    Change - leadership that is about action...not about talking and looking good.

    Real Change only happens when you have a leader who believe in the "IDEA"...not lip service or magic wand waving ability to shift the focus from Point A to Point B.

    As the old say goes

    If it looks like a duck, walks likes a duck...it's still a duck.
