Meanwhile in Minneapolis an initiative to shut down the police department and turn it into a department of public safety was soundly rejected by a majority of voters.
As The New York Times reports:
MINNEAPOLIS — Minneapolis residents rejected an amendment on Tuesday that called for replacing the city’s long-troubled Police Department with a new Department of Public Safety, The Associated Press projected.
The ballot item emerged from anger after a Minneapolis police officer murdered George Floyd last year, galvanizing residents who saw the policing system as irredeemably broken. But the amendment’s failure showed that even in a liberal city where skepticism of the police runs deep, many Americans are not prepared to get rid of the police.
Minneapolis leaders now face the challenge of filling staffing shortages in a Police Department that is about a third smaller than it was before Mr. Floyd’s killing, and at a time when the city is facing the most homicides since the mid-1990s…
The vote is significant due to the fact that the killing of George Floyd, which sparked mass violence and riots during the summer of 2020, occurred in the city. Radical Representative and Minneapolis native Illhan Omar also spoke out in support of the measure, revealing that she herself had voted in favor of it.
Both results add insult to injury for Democrats and their Progressive allies who seem to have suffered across the board defeats across the country, defeats which may be a preview of their electoral fates in the upcoming 2022 midterms.
Hooray, awesome
The huge red wave that went through the 2020 presidential continues!!!
Imagine the red wave in 2018 and 2020 and then globalists started to count their voter fraud and appoint/reappoint their globalist puppets; demonrats and rinos .
So true. If they can’t cheat the dimwit nitwits can’t win!
Now deport omar the Traitor to the American People and the Constitution.
ABSOLUTELY!!! GET RID OF THESE PARASITE INVADERS ONCE AND FOR ALL, DAMNIT!!!
YOU ARE LIKE ALL BAD INVASIVE SPECIES___ NOT WELCOME HERE!!!
Invasive species indeed, like kudzu, a parasitic plant that takes over by sucking the life out of its hosts.
YES! DEPORT HER! She hates Americans she hates Jews, Christians…… anyone who is not like her, doesn’t wear the same cloths, who worship the TRUE God etc…Another word, SHE DOES NOT BELONG HERE, AND NO ONE WANTS NOR LIKE HER! OUT WITCH!!
Amen!💓🙏🙌✝️👣🇺🇲🇮🇱
The mayor is still a democrat, just not the wild-eyed radical.
minneapolis still has the idiocracy running the place, a local crime wave that sees 88% of all crimes unsolved, murders that are rivaling mogadishu on a bad day, and very low morale in the police department.
Yes, a TOTAL DISGRACE to the Midwest. I don’t know just WHAT Minnesota’s problem(s) is/are, but they Suuuuure have ‘em! TOO Cold much of the year to THINK PROPERLY?!
Ilan Omar and her MN cult took control after the death of George Floyd, the public in MN believed them and thought they didn’t need law enforcement! When violent crime escalated overnight they soon saw the error of their thinking! And, thank the Lord they did because it is innocent people who suffer most!
I believe with this vote of confidence for law enforcement there will be a gradual but positive turn around in crime rate!
This movement now is equivalent to Tea Party during Obama/Biden regime. Obama sent the power of IRS after those patriots then, now Biden sent the power of DOJ and FBI after these caring parents of school children being indoctrinated with CRT. This is how overreach of deranged left ends up.
Yes, the Answer is they simply CAN’T Hold Office!
They DON’T THINK RIGHT! THEY ABUSE POWER!
DEMOCRATS and LIBERALS MUST BE VOTED OUT OF OFFICE___ EVERYWHERE!!!
WE ARE TOO GOOD TO HAVE WARPED, WRONG THINKING DEMOCRATS IN POWER!
SIMPLY PUT___THEY DESTROY!!!
AND IT MUST STOP NOW!!!!!!!
Yes… There is a God!
Amen Deb
While “common sense” is not common lately, at last some semblance of it is finally being displayed.
THANK GOD!!!!!!
Ha ha ha 😆 🤣 😂 a write-in!
First, you moron, george was not killed unless you consider him killing himself with fentynal a killing as usually this is considered suicide or accidental death. Your a coward and moron for fiollowing like a little lost sheep. You are not a journalist but just someone that can out a few words togeether to make a sentence. To bad you can’t make that sentence truth.
I choose NOT to do business in Mn until they collectively get their heads out of their asses and start acting right. Suck it Minnie!
I am sure Pig Pelosi will have the communists demwits DOUBLE DOWN which is a BEAUTIFUL THING. During 8 years of Obama and Biden with Pig Pelosi the communists lost seats in the Congress and the Senate and WAS A BEAUTIFUL THING TO WATCH…Nancy you just keep giving back….Thanks Nancy
Smell the coffee and woke up!
I LOVE IT! EAT YOUR HEARTS OUT, DEMONICrats! Oops. my mistake, you evil liars, don’t a heart!
The “Killing” of George Floyd was all staged. The T Shirts miraculously appeared and all the riots beautifully co ordinated with bricks etc. Some believe Floyd is still alive,. Too many discrepancies, the size of the coffin?, he had hair on his head in one , in another no hair, Freemason signs tattooed on his chest and even the Derek Chauvin in Court different from the original. Soon all the truth will come out. As for Somali Omar, Somalis are known for being ungovernable. Somalia was the most ungovernable Country on Earth. Remember the Somali Cop who shot that young Australian girl in her Pygamas point blank by leaning over his partner in the cop car and just shooting her in the stomach? And the Somali at teh mall who pushed a young child off the balcony
