Talk about tossing gasoline on a fire!!! I'll give him the benefit of the doubt though because that cold up there gives you brain freeze and his has yet to thaw out.
Quote:Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) has mobilized the National Guard after rioters vandalized the Brooklyn Center Police Department Sunday because law enforcement shot and killed a black man with an outstanding warrant.
Waltz issued a statement late Sunday night following the shooting that took place at a traffic stop. “I am closely monitoring the situation in Brooklyn Center. Gwen and I are praying for Daunte Wright’s family as our state mourns another life of a Black man taken by law enforcement,” he wrote on Twitter.
The mayor of Brooklyn Center, Mike Elliott, also sympathized with the tragic event. “Our entire community is filled with grief following today’s officer-involved shooting of Daunte Wright, a 20 year old young man. Our hearts are with his family, and with all those in our community impacted by this tragedy…”
Elliott continued, “While we await additional information from the BCA who is leading the investigation, we continue to ask that members of our community gathering do so peacefully, amid our calls for transparency and accountability”:
The death of Wright sparked about 500 rioters charging the police station, throwing rocks and vandalizing police cars in which the National Guard was called to protect the police precinct by dispersing the crowd. The rioters then began looting local businesses:

The Star Tribune reported, “Officers repeatedly ordered the crowd of about 500 to disperse as protesters chanted Wright’s name and climbed atop the police headquarters sign, by then covered in graffiti. Police used tear gas, flash bangs and rubber bullets on the crowd.”
“National Guard troops arrived just before midnight as looters targeted the Brooklyn Center Walmart and nearby shopping mall. Several businesses around the Walmart were completely destroyed, including Foot Locker, T Mobile, and a New York men’s clothing store,” the paper wrote.
The Brooklyn Center Police Department said in a statement the “officers determined that the driver of the vehicle had an outstanding warrant. At one point as officers were attempting to take the driver into custody, the driver re-entered the vehicle.”
“One officer discharged their firearm, striking the driver. The vehicle traveled several blocks before striking another vehicle. Officers in pursuit and responding medical personnel attempted life-saving measures, but he died at the scene, the department said.
The Daily Caller reported that Wright was on the phone with his mother during the occurrence, who said she heard the police warn her boy, “Daunte, don’t run.”

Quote:The Democrat-run cities of Minneapolis and Portland are both on fire … again. Over the weekend, in Democrat-run Portland, the left-wing terrorists in Antifa tried to burn down government buildings with people in them … again. In Democrat-run Minneapolis, the left-wing terrorists in Black Lives Matter burned and looted and rioted … again.
Anyway… How was your weekend?
My weekend? Well, I live out here in Rural MAGA Land, so my weekend was like every weekend in Rural MAGA Land… In a word blissful. Clean air. Clean water. No shootings. No lootings. No riots. No racial tension. The wind was a little chillier than I would have liked.
Nevertheless, I mustered through and still got my camper washed and cleaned and ready to go. Got my pickup washed. Watched movies. Grilled burgers. Chatted with neighbors. Walked dogs. It was nice. You know, the usual-usual.
Thanks for asking!
Isn’t it odd how us Trump voters are relentlessly smeared as violent, racist, and anti-environment, and yet, out where we all live and all own guns, it’s peaceful, there are no racial problems, and our air, water, and streets are safe and clean?
Meanwhile, Democrat-run Portland — where Democrats have had a monopoly on power for decades — is on fire again.
LOL.
Yep, after a year of almost non-stop rioting in that lost city, left-wing Antifa terrorists are still lighting government buildings on fire, and doing so with no fear of punishment because Portland is run exclusively by Democrats and Democrats refuse to prosecute Antifa because Democrats consider Antifa to be their own personal Brownshirts.
And so, over the weekend, while Rural MAGA Americans like myself enjoyed peace and harmony, Portland’s Antifa monsters “set a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement building on fire while agents remained trapped behind blocked doors.”
In other words, just another Saturday night in Democrat-run Portland!
Meanwhile, Democrat-run Minneapolis — where Democrats have had a monopoly on power for decades — is on fire again.
LOL.
A little over a year after Democrat-run Minneapolis was ravaged by riots and lootings over the death of George Floyd, who died while in the custody of the Democrat-run Minneapolis police force, a whole new wave of rioting launched on Sunday after a member of the Democrat-run Minneapolis police force shot and killed a 20-year-old man during a traffic stop.
According to various news reports and social media postings, it looks as though the left-wing terrorists in Black Lives Matter, numbering in the hundreds, punched in and went back to work:
Officers repeatedly ordered the crowd of about 500 to disperse as protesters chanted Wright’s name and climbed atop the police headquarters sign, by then covered in graffiti. Police used tear gas, flash bangs and rubber bullets on the crowd.
National Guard troops arrived just before midnight as looters targeted the Brooklyn Center Walmart and nearby shopping mall. Several businesses around the Walmart were completely destroyed, including Foot Locker, T Mobile, and a New York men’s clothing store.
Looting was widespread late Sunday into early Monday, spilling into north and south Minneapolis. Reports said that stores in Uptown and along Lake Street were also being looted.
You want to know what this all is?
I’ll tell you exactly what it is…
What this is is not my ******* problem.
This is how Democrats CHOOSE to live and there’s nothing I can do about that.
Decade after decade after decade, Democrats continue to vote for failure in these shithole cities, continue to vote for failed policies that create pollution, hate crimes, gun violence, looting, race riots, arson, terrorism, mass-shootings, murder, and violent crime.
There’s no explanation for Democrats choosing to live like this other than this is a deliberate lifestyle choice.
Sure, they can blame Trump voters all they want for their own problems, and heaven knows they will even though Republicans have zero say in how these shithole cities are run.
But who cares if they blame us? It’s just one more thing for us Trump voters to LOL at as we — people of all races, creeds, and backgrounds — enjoy our peaceful safe, clean, and harmonious lives in Rural America.
You get what you vote for, and Portland and Minneapolis are getting everything they want and deserve … again.

Quote:Following the police-involved fatal shooting of a black motorist in Minneapolis on Sunday afternoon, an anti-cop protester used a megaphone to urge members of a growing crowd to dox officers, identify and post photos of their family members, and "start doin' pull ups to their house."
Cellphone video showing a line of police officers blocking off a street following the shooting caught audio of the man on the megaphone: "I need everybody to go to Brooklyn Center police ... website, you go through the officers that are on duty ... and then you find their names, then you put it into Facebook, and you put it into Instagram. Then you start taking screenshots of their family and who they are, and then what happens is, 'Hey bro, your dad just killed my son.' That's a reality. We're gonna start gettin' their badges, you start doin' pull ups to their house. You let 'em know ..."
Here's the clip. (Content warning: Profanity):
What do we know so far about the shooting?
Brooklyn Center Police said in a statement that an officer pulled over a man for a traffic violation and discovered he had an outstanding warrant. As police attempted to take the motorist into custody, he reportedly tried to get back into the vehicle and drive away, and an officer shot the motorist, who drove several blocks before he hit another vehicle and died.
Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) identified the fatally shot motorist as 20-year-old Daunte Wright.
His mother, Katie Wright, told reporters she received a phone call from her son telling her police pulled him over reportedly for having air fresheners dangling from the vehicle's rearview mirror. It's illegal to hang anything from rearview mirrors in Minnesota.
Wright said she told her son to put the officer on the phone so she could provide insurance information, and the last thing she heard was police telling her son to get out of the vehicle and demanding he refrain from running.
"I heard police officers say, 'Daunte, don't run,'" she recalled. The call ended, she said, and Wright immediately phoned back and reached her son's girlfriend, who was with him in the vehicle, and she told Wright that her son had been shot.
How did folks react to the doxxing threat against police and their families?
While some commenters on Twitter suggested that police have it coming, others disagreed with the doxxing idea:
"Isn't setting up police and their [families] to be attacked a hate crime?" one commenter asked. "Why did they not arrest every one of them there?"
"I'm just a *bit* concerned that vigilante justice, personal vendettas & mob violence may just cause more harm than good.... just my opinion," another user said.
"Where's the FBI here[?]" another commenter asked. "This is direct threats to law enforcement and civilians. Seriously I know people in Brooklyn Center that are freaking out because of this."
"Really? And this isn't a crime?" another user wondered. "No sympathy for any of them when they get what they deserve."
"Uttering threats. Book him boys," another commenter wrote. "Only s**tty human beings want to go after people's families. They're psychopaths."
NBC News reported that a crowd of up to 200 people threw rocks and other objects at the Brooklyn Center police department building, which prompted the state to mobilize its National Guard.
The unrest is compounded by the ongoing trial of former police officer Derek Chauvin, who stands accused of unintentional second-degree murder, third-degree murder, and manslaughter in connection to George Floyd's May 2020 death — which sparked nationwide rioting that lasted all summer.

Looks like the officer pulled her pistol instead of the taser = accident
And yet again, if the victim had just complied he would be sitting in prison awaiting arraignment and not laying in the morgue.

Comply and you won't die. But JFC how do pull the gun instead of the taser? Her life is over now. Man 2?

Why does this keep happening?
Quote:President Joe Biden suggested on Monday that the police shooting of 20-year-old Daunte Wright over the weekend in Minneapolis could potentially have been “intentional” as he urged calm while investigators work to conclude what happened.
“I think we got to wait and see what the investigation shows,” Biden said. “And the entire investigation. You all watched, I assume as I did the film, which is fairly, the body cam, which is fairly, fairly graphic. Question is, was it an accident, was it intentional? It remains to be determined by a full blown investigation.”
“But in the meantime, I want to make it clear again, there is absolutely no justification, none, for looting, no justification for violence, peaceful protest understandable,” Biden continued. “And the fact is that, you know, we do know that the anger, pain, and trauma that exists in the black community, and that environment is real, it’s serious, and it’s consequential. But it doesn’t, will not justify violence and/or looting. And so the question is, how we in an orderly way, make clear that you get down to a full blown investigation to determine what the facts are, and what is likely to happen.”

Love the fact that people who cant get your order correct at Wendys.... as in, its always wrong.... are now LEO experts.
I have a family full of LEOs and you couldnt pay me enough money to deal with what they deal with.
They are put in no win situation after no win situation and have to be 100% in each one.
Go volunteer at your local sheriff's or metro police station, go ride along... which you can do. See what truly goes on day and night. You little dummy leftists would need a diaper or two.

Accidental discharge=premature execution.
Quote:The latest outbreak of unrest in Minnesota after an officer shot and killed a 20-year-old Black man is the result of public "exhaustion" of officer-related shootings, White House press secretary Jen Psaki said Monday.
"We are incredibly saddened to hear about the loss of life at the hands of law enforcement in Minnesota [on Sunday]," Psaki told reporters at Monday's daily press briefing, noting the ongoing Derek Chauvin trial stemming from the death of George Floyd in Minnesota.
Minnesota police noted the officer Sunday intended to use his Taser instead of his handgun in killing a man identified as Daunte Wright, who died Sunday in Brooklyn Center, a city of about 30,000 people on the northwest border of Minneapolis. Police Chief Tim Gannon described the shooting as "an accidental discharge."
Wright's death sparked violent protests, with officers in riot gear clashing with demonstrators into Monday morning.
"It is a reminder of the pain, the anger, the trauma, the exhaustion that many communities across the country have felt as we see these incidents continue to occur within just a few miles of where the tragic events happened just a year ago," Psaki said.
The events have now moved the White House to give in to civil rights groups' recommendations against a campaign-promised police commission to address law enforcement reforms and now has the administration focusing on addressing "racial equity" and "putting in place long overdue reforms."
"We have made a decision, in coordination, that the best path forward is to work to pass the George Floyd Policing Act," Psaki said. "That has a great deal of the content of the policy changes, of the necessary reforms that we would all like to see in place. That was collective decision. That's where our focus will be.
"We expect for the time being for our focus to be on moving the legislation forward, and not on the policing commission.
"The commission would not be the best way forward to deliver on our top priorities," she added.
"Real change is a priority for him," she said of President Joe Biden. "It is something he looks forward to continued to discuss with members of Congress."
The Minneapolis area was already on edge because of the trial of the first of four police officers charged in George Floyd's death.
Psaki was pressed on the lack of President Biden's addressing Americans directly on the shooting or other recent events.
"The president does not spend his time tweeting conspiracy theories," Psaki responded, take a veiled shot at former President Donald Trump's use of Twitter during his administration.

She f'ed up super bad. She even says at the end of the video, "Holy *hit, I just shot him". Adrenaline got the best of her, not systemic racism.
Yep she screwed up majorly. So did the idiot trying to run, where did he think he was going to go?
It is also a perfect example of how poorly we train police officers.

I'm pretty sure that what Charles Barkley said quite a while back. The back of a police car is a pretty safe place to be.
