" . . . This should not be confused with a permissive stance on all gatherings, particularly protests against stay-home orders."

This is why you should never trust your government.
Instead of dismantling police unions, and reworking their immunity polices, the leftist leaders [ whose policies are the problem in the first place, and who want to see America destroyed ] succumbed to the violent mob's demands and literally is working to turn Minnesota into Somali.
We live in the most disgusting of timelines, where evil is applauded and good is scoffed.
All these people always say "get out an vote" but their cities are run but the awful leadership of the left, and then the mob votes the left right back in. Because good is evil.
I'm back at the office today, so my shitposting is going to drop off significantly... just like the crime rate in Minn, because crime is actually not crime.

..."Yes, I mean, I hear that loud and clear from a lot of my neighbors," she explained. "And I know — and myself, too, and I know that that comes from a place of privilege. Because for those of us for whom the system is working, I think we need to step back and imagine what it would feel like to already live in that reality where calling the police may mean more harm is done."
"And so in the very immediate, we have to lean into whatever changes we can make in our existing police department," Bender said. "You know, I think we look to cities like Camden, New Jersey, that completely restructured their department, as we build up systems. And we've already done that. We are not starting from scratch."

Dispatch: "Hello 911."
Me: "Yes, someone is in my house with a gun."
Dispatch: "Sorry sir, the police no longer exist."
Me: "But someone is in my house and trying to kill me!"
Dispatch: "Check your damn privilege, sir!!!"

Minneapolis City Council president: Calling police for break-in 'comes from a place of privilege'

Oh again, I'm right about things:
NEW STUDY: COVID OUTBREAK BEGAN FAR EARLIER THAN CHINA ADMITS
by Kevin Ryan
A new study has found dramatic spikes in automobile traffic around major hospitals in Wuhan began last fall, and a corresponding surge in internet searches for symptoms of illness as far back as the late summer, suggesting the COVID-19 outbreak began long before China admits.
The Chinese government, which did not formally notify the World Health Organization of the new virus until Dec. 31st, says that the global pandemic began sometime in November or December of 2019.
In other words, if the new study is correct, Beijing may have been hiding the existence of the outbreak for up to four months, since the late Summer and early Fall of 2019.
The research team behind the study analyzed commercial satellite images and internet search data. They found “a dramatic increase in hospital traffic outside five major Wuhan hospitals beginning late summer and early fall 2019,” according to Dr. John Brownstein, the Harvard Medical professor who led the research.

It was clear to anyone with a brain, and not an agenda, that this virus was already on wave 2 in 2020.

That's the inevitable result of our biological natures. Evolutionarily, a creature with a very limited window to reproduce is more valuable as an individual to a species, than one who produces millions of sperm a day and can contribute to reproduction all the way until death. The entire history of gender politics in our species has been based around these facts. Now, post third-wave feminism, women wish to be treated as equals to men. An inclination I sympathize with very much, I would chafe at being historically "protected" as well. But they cannot change their biological natures, despite recent social and political efforts. And there is no deeper motivation for any creature than to desire preservation and propagation of the species. So the result is, women have been getting opportunities and advantages historically enjoyed only by men, but will never relinquish their status as the more valuable gender. They can't, nature will not be denied. So they are moving from a position of protected privilege (which they reasonably do not like), to a position of privilege + power, giving them a great advantage over men as far as gender politics goes. Equality means equal numbers of women and men in coal mines and combat units. That is not what we are moving towards.

I find it staggering that the majority of people that are screaming "Defund the Police" (whatever that truly means, I don't know as the goalposts keep moving) are Liberals that live in Liberal cities, run by their Liberal government - but somehow, it's the Police that are the problem? Here's an idea, maybe elect different politicians that don't put crazy town policy in place?

black people want it cause they are criminals--so it benefits them very well--but they are just pawns in the bigger goal since they will bitch about anything and go riot. Anything but be good and do better for yourself.
defending the police is part of establishing communism 101, nothing more, nothing less.
