Sorry, I didn't realize twitter was locked down.

I wonder how many 'news' outlets will show a Police cruiser getting bombarded with fireworks.

I doubt many will.

The police have me confused these days. They let Antifa and BLM riot, arresting few if any of them while the left works to defund the police. Most people on the left get a slap on the wrist, if anything for criminal behavior, even serious crimes. For the rest of us they want to remove our rights to self-defense and lock us away for minor, even made up violations. I’m unsure if I want to support the police anymore.

You have to differentiate between the police, police officials, prosecutors, and politicians.

I think the police these days are laying low, doing as little as possible, because they know they will be stabbed in the back and hung out to dry for doing their job.

Police officials do what the politicians tell them to do.

Prosecutors are the ones letting everyone go, which causes the police to do even less.

The politicians are using the chaos to further their agenda. Like disarming the normal people.

Thanks for the twitter explanations. I appreciate not having to sift through a ton of stuff, much of which I wouldn't understand, to find out I would have to become a twitter member or sign onto twitter with some valid ID to view the stuff there.

Police officials do what the politicians tell them to do.


German soldiers pled innocent in the Nuremberg war crimes court, claiming that they were just following orders. They were found guilty.

If you’re working for a corrupt system and not fighting it, you are complicit in the system. By not fighting they are causing me and others to give up our support for law enforcement. They’re in effect increasing the number of people that want to hang them out to dry.

You need to include police officials here, how many have testified for gun control and against carry?

In then end, when they come for your guns, your freedom, your life and the lives of your family it won’t be the politicians and police officials breaking down your door at 5:00am in tactical gear pointing firearms at you and your family. It will be the SWAT team or street cop that does it.

You'll have to track this guy down and educate him on what a great place Minneapolis is. He has hearing damage from being assaulted with fireworks so make sure you talk loud.
