It occurred in Minneapolis, a city with a democrat mayor in a state with a democrat governor and two democrat US senators. Even more interesting, it occurred in a congressional district represented by, guess who, Ilhan Omar. Still more interesting, the officer in question had 12 prior complaints, which is not an unusual number, but what is unusual is that the DA who ruled out taking action against him for those prior complaints was one Amy Klobuchar.

So in a situation that is about as democrat as one can get, this happened.

People say blacks should vote for change. Maybe the change they need is to vote all those democrats out of office.



Your argument that the party in power in a city/state somehow controls what is the in the hearts and minds of every constituent is interesting to say the least.

Is that what he is saying? I misunderstood, I guess. I thought he was saying the Democrats in power had not done a damn thing about the alleged systemic racism in the police and the lack of justice the people are demonstrating against. So what good have all those democrats done for the people?

Is your assertion that black people tend to be treated better in areas where the GOP is in power?

I don't read that into what he said, either. He didn't even mention the GOP.

Quote:Like most things... I sure that the reason that Minnesota is having these recurrent issues is quite nuanced. Saying "Vote out the Democrats" doesn't make sense to me.

Well, they're in charge. The police there are their employees. If they aren't responsible for police conduct and accountability, then who is? If people living in Minneapolis want things to change, doesn't it make sense to vote for a change in leadership?

Remember this next time you're blaming a Republican president for this or that action by the federal government.
