Minneapolis should try something they haven't tried since the '50s before they do away with the police..............
ELECT A REPUBLICAN MAYOR!!!! and council members won't with it.

BOCO,

Don't you guys have some vacant land up on the muskeg
where we could deport our lefties to a Canadian gulag archipelago.

We'd hire you as the Camp Commandant

and you could set them to work all summer
cutting the brush out of your Snow-go trails
along your trap line.

You could feed them pine needle tea

but no bug dope or mosquito repellent.

Are you up for the job ?

You guys give these backyard politicians way too much credit.

Yeah they can pass some crap that the governor can't veto.

They can't tell the residents how to vote when they go through the process of changing the city charter.

They can't keep the Hennepin County Sheriff's Department out of their little domain.

They can't keep the Minnesota Highway Patrol out of their little domain.

They can't keep Trump out of their little domain.

They are burning MSP to the ground. Where is the Hennepin County Sheriff Department, the Minnesota Highway Patrol and Trump. It looks like those backyard politicians are running the show to me.

Business people already talking about moving out of the City I don’t see how insurance would be affordable after the lack of protection that was given to them during this mess. Mpls. Will be the new Detroit the way they are heading.

Businesses/chain stores moving out of un-policed areas.....thats what is going to happen. Amd that will put the brakes on this defunding/dismantling the police "idea."

AT least it seems that Frey understands that if the businesses leave so does their income. The city (self insured) will be bankrupt in short order without the funding the businesses provide. Even just losing Target corp (world headquarters) would be a devastating blow.

As is, how many people want to go to Mpls? No matter what side of the argument you are on, Mpls isn't seen as a destination anymore.

Plant corn, get corn. Stay tuned.

Frey should never have been elected. He's just a kid with no experience on what to do if things got hairy. Listening to him talk with the rioting, it quickly became obvious he didn't have a clue on what to do.
He should resign along with Governor Walz who botched the Covid19 mess by sending infected patients into nursing homes infecting elderly people living there. 80% of Minnesota's dead are from nursing homes. Talk about throwing the elderly under the bus!

Walz being a former member of the National Guard waited until the majority of the damage was done. It took Trump to warn that if Walz didn't call in the military, he would. Then, Walz knew he had to do something and called up the Guard. Things settled down after that. Had Walz done it a few days sooner, you wouldn't have seen the destruction we see now.

With talk of defunding the police, many business owners are saying they are going to take the insurance money and run; not re-open.

Walz referred to the outstate residents as a bunch of "Rocks and Cows". Saw a billboard in the land of "Rocks & Cows" stating Walz needs to be recalled.

It's insanity.

How many years you have left?

Hang in there brother and keep safe.

Thanks, Steven.
A little over 4 yrs, ....but in all honesty I highly doubt I'll last that long. In reality, terminating me at this point would be welcomed. It will be interesting to watch what happens next, however.

You should have no problem getting on with another dept being certified to finish out your years I would think if your under State pension, no?

What is sad, Minnesota will probably vote for Biden and this mess will continue.

So, fifty-some million in damages....chicken feed.

How many millions do you think the courts will be awarding to the George Floyd family??
