In keeping with the left wing Marie Antoinette attitude of "Let them eat cake", members of the city council CLAIM death threats so they can hore their very own security guards

Minneapolis council members calling to defund police spend $63G on private security details after receiving death threats | Fox News

“My concern is the large number of white nationalist in our city and other threatening communications I’ve been receiving,” they said.


So, folks, like your Democrat mayors, governors,Senators and congresspeople, even City Council members are giving you, the public, the finger, as usual. They have zero proof of any threats but like the racists against white people they are, CLAIM there are white nationalists around. I see now the primary reason for the racial strife in Minneapolis. Black council members hate white people and there are too many white cops, so the best way to get rid of white is to say the PEOPLE don't need any cops, or at least racist "white" cops. Lie Marie Antoinette looking down from her secure balcony at people being robbed and murdered with no one to protect them, the minority city council members derisively say "Let then hire their own security guards".

What we have in America today is too many black people who hate all white people and are now using guilt ridden white people to get rid of anything white. Through MSM, they are succeeding. I expect a demand by Occupy Democrats, BLM and Antifa that the next president be a black female.

Oh WAIT. We are already assured their will be a black female president when Biden nominates one for VP and succumbs to dementia during his term.
 
Idiot leftists are always and have always been hypocritical pieces of ****. The only truly sad thing is that not only will the mindless minions on the left support this but they will applaud it. Bloomberg has been a leading hypocrite over this type of thing. Working to ban guns from citizens but he travels with a team of armed security.

But then, this is ALL just part of the play book. The leftist leadership always ****s on their mouths and they swallow it joyously while their leaders then live the lives they condemn.

Didn't Trump pepper spray peaceful protesters to go to a photo opp?

I don't understand how that's less important than some council members spending 63,000 on not dying while they cut back a $193.3 million dollar budget.

They are literally putting millions back into the hands of community members, but 63 grand is where we draw the line in the sand?

Do you even know how much tax money Trump has spent golfing?

So, because the security detail, who is sworn to protect the president cleared out protesters used pepper spray, THAT is justification for black racist city council members to hire security guards while telling its citizenry that police aren't needed for THEM!

Gotcha!

Your post proves one thing and that is leftists will create a reason for anything their leftists in office do. How is that cake you're eating?

I would have approached this differently:

Three Minneapolis Council members have procured security details costing taxpayers roughly $65,000 the last 3 weeks (roughly $4,500/day), while unanimously voting to dismantle the police department and provide the common citizen with social and community workers. These council members have used death threats and fear as the rationale without reporting such threats to law enforcement officials.

It's pure irony and hypocritical and I hope citizens of Minneapolis pay attention of who is leading and vote for change.

Everyone here knows that getting rid of rid of police is insane and yet in cities like Minneapolis where we have minorities and females in power, they are using the current climate of fear to force society to do two things; 1.) to get more or all blacks on the force and 2.) to reduce police presence ad arrests in crime ridden areas so that less minorities are arrested and make it APPEAR that there is less crime when there is really MORE crime. For example, here in Los Angeles theft of under $950.00 is just a misdemeanor and the cops won't even go out on it. This effectively gives druggies and minorities in the crime ridden areas a license to steal. This is what the new crop of city council wants....less arrests for crimes and then they can say they are lowering crime. This is happening everywhere. Criminals aren't stupid and the gang bangers know that they can just shop lift at any store or liquor store and no one will come out. This is just one way City Councils can have less police in crime ridden areas. They just ignore crime or make these type of crimes mere misdemeanors.

The unfortunate thing is that this lunacy is taking hold all over America on the guise of racism and guilt ridden white people are remaining silent while the left takes over our country. All one can hope is that Trump is re-elected and this madness ends. America right w is sick in the head.

Gotcha!

His security detail costed more than 63k, and the private Minneapolis security guards haven't gassed anyone.

You emphasize that the council members are black, then call them racist for fearing for their lives. Can you not see how it's sorta a wild time in america right now?

Trump is throwing a fit over antifa but black people aren't allowed to fear the kkk? Okay makes sense.

They aren't just getting rid of all cops right away either. If you read their plan, you'll see that they want to start by using money from that almost 200 mill cop budget I mentioned to fund things like community housing and job opportunities. As they slowly put money from policing into community support, they'll monitor criminal activity and respond accordingly. If crime goes down, we use less cops and spend more on the community. Simple plan.

You people keep pretending defending the police means zero cops tomorrow. It's a gradual and deliberate process where the council members keep their foot on the brake, ready to fund police action if needed.

You're blowing things out of the water while you're president uses this crisis to focus on his re-election campaign. I made the comparison because our president wasted 300mill on golf while you use racism to complain about black people spending money on not dying.

I ignored the racist and sexist connotations of your post the first time I responded, but let me clear something up for you.

If you think that white people are being disadvantaged in this country, you never attended a history class in your life. People like you have no ability to put yourselves in other peoples shoes, but you cry and whine that others are too mean when they find out you're a racist. If you want compassion be compassionate. Consider others before demanding your own consideration.

You don't like MSM and a majority of the nation telling you you're race shouldn't give you an advantage? So sorry we don't want to be incarceration nation anymore. Today we have more black men in chains than at the peak of slavery. The 13th amendment didn't even abolish all slavery, it's still legal if you're a criminal. If you think turning every poor black man into a member of a chain gang had no impact on today's treatment of blacks, you are denser than a singularity.

Defending police and refunding criminal reform and support means less crime. Not every problem is a nail in need of hammering. Some things take a little more thought than shooting at it and throwing it in a box.

Having a black woman in the white house is important. You can tell me being black and female shouldn't qualify you to be in a position of power, but being white has worked out pretty well as a qualification of power throughout history. We've always gotten the priority. Letting a black woman, a member of the single most oppressed group in our history next to natives, lead this nation as a 2nd for a term, is just a smidgen of equality. This is still a race between two old white guys, so what's the big deal?

You elected a WWE guest appearance as your president. But you won't take a politician seriously if they happen to be black? I think you're mislead if you think the left is the only one making excuses for their leaders.

Black people get the spotlight right now because one generation ago they couldn't even sit next to us.

I can agree that men could use some help in areas like child custody, our suicide rates and protection from spousal abuse. But white people? We have 0 disadvantages in America. We don't need help. Why are you so angry that people are trying to help blacks right now?

Your post proves one thing and that is leftists will create a reason for anything their leftists in office do. How is that cake you're eating?

It was avocado toast actually and it really hit the spot.

Why get angry with the de-funding and dismantling of police? I would liken this to the idiom, "Don't crap where you eat," and many local governments are already beginning to crap.
 
Liberal hypocrites? How quaint... :roll:
 
Democrat elitists never care to protect peasants. Why would they not want to defund the police protecting people? They would rather spend the money on themselves.

But the REAL story? That the Democratic City Council decided they can not depend upon the police department THEY had appointed a fellow Democrat Police Chief to protect them - nor did they believe the Sheriff's Department or State Police would protect them. Do those Democrats know how to run a police department or what? :lol:

That security detail were cops that hid their names to escape accountability, hired private security contractors, etc. they did not do what they did to protect the president.
 
Governmental elites need bodyguards because they're the elites. See how that that works? Us common people are on their own when BLM knocks on our door asking for "donations".

Look, I understand that you and others think that a president should know every little thing, but they don't. His security detail must protect him at ALL costs, even taking a bullet for him, no matter if it was Trump, Obama or Bush. I wasn't there. Neither were you. Security must have felt it necessary and who can blame them with anarchists on the loose??

There was no threat to the president that required the brutality at lafayette park. I saw what happened. Pitiful excuses will get you nowhere in the real world. See people like Trump are sheltered, never have to suffer the consequences for anything and he can get away with anything because you let him and make excuses for him. If he cant handle the job he should resign or preferably off himself.

Would you prefer that Trump had been killed?

No person using common sense can say you are wrong.
There has to be some way cities can prove crime is going down while cops are retiring and afraid to go into high crime neighborhoods. And you hit upon it very nicely.
No doubt recruiting for new police is going to result in entry exams dumbed down and starting salaries going up.
No more big cities for me. Dallas and the S.F. Bay Area was enough for me.

Great speech, Izzy.
I wouldn't want to get in your way in a BLM march. You must carry a really big "I Can't Breathe" poster.
 
Interesting that no one mentions just who is filing those death threats.
Anybody want to venture a few guesses as to where a majority of those death threats are coming from?

Yep. Whaddya wanna bet they will be hiring lots more black females just out of Berkeley who disdain the use of any force.

Thanks man!

Well my sign isn't really that above average. But it isn't the size of the sign, it's the message. I'm flattered you think mine is so big tho. :)

I hope you exhibit that sense of humor when you confront cops trying to maintain law and order.

But then, this is ALL just part of the play book. The leftist leadership always ****s on their mouths and they swallow it joyously while their leaders then live the lives they condemn.
The far left mayors of Portland and other "Antifa/BLM-friendly" cities ALLOW riots to occur, ALLOW private homes and businesses to be burned, ALLOW violence against random citizens, etc. But then these same mayors post dozens of police officers on their own streets, to BAN protests near their own homes, citing "personal safety" as the motivation!

Totalitarian leftists DO NOT CARE about the safety of their own citizens, because Marxist ideology is ANTI-INDIVIDUAL. Marxists have NEVER cared how many people die to advance and protect their beloved cult-like ideology! As they say, "to make an omelette, you need to break some eggs"....
 
That security detail were cops that hid their names to escape accountability, hired private security contractors, etc. they did not do what they did to protect the president.
It is very sensible for police to hide their identities from domestic terrorism groups like Black Lives Matter and antifa. They can start following the law then we can start talking about accountability.
