    There is a curfew going into effect tonight for the counties with Minneapolis, St. Paul and just north of Brooklyn Center. Starts at 7PM and goes until 6AM.

    What’s the penalty for being out? Over under on the curfew actually working to keep things from getting further out of hand?
    Stay safe!

    I love Minneapolis, it’s a great city. Burning it to the ground would be tragic and unjust. But the optics of this recent event against the background of the Floyd murder trial could be devastating for the city.

    Trump's paid for an ad for innocent men that had their lives ruined that he was too small of a man to even apologize for.

    https://www.fbi.gov/news/pressrel/p...forcement-officers-killed-in-the-line-of-duty

    Here is a link for how many police were killed from felonious circumstances.

    Felonious Deaths

    The 48 felonious deaths occurred in 19 states and in Puerto Rico. The number of officers killed as a result of criminal acts in 2019 was 8 less than the 56 officers who were feloniously killed in 2018. The 5- and 10-year comparisons show an increase of 7 felonious deaths compared with the 2015 figure (41 officers) and a decrease of 7 deaths compared with 2010 data (55 officers).

    Officer Profiles. The average age of the officers who were feloniously killed was 40 years old. The victim officers had served in law enforcement for an average of 13 years at the times of the fatal incidents. Of the 48 officers:

    • 45 were male
    • 3 were female
    • 40 were white
    • 7 were black/African American
    • 1 was Asian.

    Here is a video of a mass shooting ONE OF MANY. But the most tragic one in my opinion.



    I wish you would reassess things JR. Add to the conversation. You have always seemed very intelligent from your past posts. What I am quoting is not the only thing I am referring to. More though your posts as a whole in the D&D are kind of a bummer to see. People in this country have become numb to the violence. It seems to be everywhere. I know that is because the media shows it to you. I believe though compared to other comparable countries the US statistically is very high.

    Wow, when did @J.R. become a full on douchebag? I thought he was one of the most respectable posters on here. Dude completely went 180 and is now a scumbag and doesn't know it.

    lol you thought JR was respectable?

    He was quick at posting news, but if you ever read any of his opinion posts, it was quite obvious he was always a moron.

    I don't know for sure but I think you can be arrested for violating curfew.

    While there was still unrest in Brooklyn Center last night it seems like most of the Twin Cities was peaceful and the unrest in Brooklyn Center was less than the previous night. NOt sure how much that is due to the curfew, stronger national guard presence or that it temps dropped to the low 30's with snow last night.

    From what I'm hearing it is likely that anything below 2nd degree murder there will be many upset about it.

    My own feeling is that he will be found guilty of 3rd degree but 2nd degree manslaughter, hung jury and even outright acquittal is still possible. I think outright acquittal is the least likely outcome.

    Dude you hide behind tweets and memes. You have zero ability to actually flesh out your opinion and actually defend them. Usually that is what is reffered to as being a "b****".

    You are a b****, A klan hooded b****. I don't want to ignore you. I want you to ****ing defend your **** positions and squirm when you realize you can't.

    @tinman come defend this guy lmao

    This guy had to dig through my posts to make up something about me. Good job, you spend your whole day, every second of your life to make sure you're the first poster to give news on this board. You're playing yourself and are the real loser here. How long have you been doing it? 10+ years? And not a penny going your way. Great job, lowlife.
