Straggler Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 I remember the riots in LA back in the early 90's. Minnesota today has a real similar feel. Can't believe they didn't arrest the cop yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's officially listed as Democratic Farmers League (DFL), but being quoted everywhere this morn in the media as being a Dem. Is there something local that has DFL as really being big-aggra business or some such and hence more R like? The mayor said some great things either this morn or last night, in terms of valuing people over property, but they completely mis-judged the mood in not deploying lots and lots of police etc., early yesterday afternoon. I'd be so pissed if I paid taxes and lived there (~170 properties seriously damaged). Straight up racist nut jobs in the police who then vanish and allow the whole place to be smashed up. Lots of top brass should be hung out to dry for this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately with the Minneapolis PD's reputation for corruption the idea that "he was with his supervisor" seems awfully convenient. I wonder if his ex-wife will accidentally fall down some stairs in the next few days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sne Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 (edited) From wiki Quote Minnesota Minnesota law originally defined third-degree murder solely as depraved-heart murder ("without intent to effect the death of any person, caus[ing] the death of another by perpetrating an act eminently dangerous to others and evincing a depraved mind, without regard for human life").[7][8] In 1987, an additional drug-related provision ("without intent to cause death, proximately caus[ing] the death of a human being by, directly or indirectly, unlawfully selling, giving away, bartering, delivering, exchanging, distributing, or administering a controlled substance classified in Schedule I or II") was added to the definition of third-degree murder.[7][9] Up until the early 2000s, prosecutions under that provision were rare, but they began to rise in the 2010s. Some reports linked this increase in prosecutions to the opioid epidemic in the United States.[10] Minnesota law also defines the crime of third-degree murder of an unborn child, with the same elements of depraved mind and lack of intent to kill distinguishing it from first- or second-degree murder of an unborn child.[11][12] Both third-degree murder and third-degree murder of an unborn child are punishable by a maximum of 25 years' imprisonment. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Third-degree_murder The guy had extensive training, he knew exactly what he was doing, what the effects were and what the risks were.

TheAuthority Posted May 29, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted May 29, 2020 Quote WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)—A furious Donald J. Trump has demanded that Facebook investigate why a status update posted by former President Barack Obama on Monday has received so many likes. Speaking to reporters on Wednesday morning, Trump said that the more than eight hundred and fifty thousand likes that Obama’s post had garnered as of Tuesday night were “phony,” and called the seeming popularity of the post a “rigged hoax.” “There is absolutely no way that eight hundred and fifty thousand people liked Obama’s post,” he said. “I know a lot of people, and absolutely none of them like Obama.” NYorker Thought we could do with a cheerful distraction for a second or two..... Anyway, back to armageddon. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
