Breaking News: Retreat

According to a very reliable source, a Minneapolis police officer reports that all Minneapolis police have been moved out of the Third Precinct to the Fourth, and told to “sit tight, do nothing”.

And the police are – according to my source’s source – “pissed”.

    MPD to Minneapolis citizens: “You’re on your own. So long, and thanks for all the fish!”

    Also, the LRT has been shut down, and all bus service in the Cities is being halted at 4 p.m. this afternoon.

    Isn’t that how they got here in the first place?

    How pissed are they? Beat down pissed; strangle pissed or riddle with bullets pissed?

    Killing Negroes is like calling them “the n-word”. Negroes do it all the time, but they get all upset when wypipul do it.

    Kid just texted me. They’re barricading the Target in W. SP.

    Hahahahaha!

    When the reprayshuns are over, there won’t be a weave shop, liquor store or 52” tv to be had for 50 miles!

    Reportedly MPD is disarming open carriers and people with CCW licenses as well.

    How would they identify a guy with a concealed weapon?

    Hey, wait a dang minute.

    Target is violating Walz’s social distancing fatwa. There are hundreds of Negroes jogging in their stores, shoulder to shoulder.

    Why hasn’t Hakim X Ellison served them with a lawsuit?

    So, when people were protesting the lockdown, they were tracking cell phone users. Heaven forbid they do the same with this crowd.

    That sounds excessively confrontational. The way it is here, if the police ever take your firearm, even wrongly, it takes a lawyer to get it back. The cops aren’t in the business of giving civilians weapons.

    Around 3:00 p.m., the Court Administrator sent a notice to all courthouse staff and judges telling them the mob that looted the Midway Target store was marching toward the Capitol so everyone should evacuate.

    Why? There’s no 50 inch flat screens in the courthouse.

    I hate to spoil anybody’s day, but there’s more to this story than the media is willing to say…

    Operator: How can I help you?

    Caller: Um someone comes our store and give us fake bills and we realize it before he left the store, and we ran back outside, they was sitting on their car. We tell them to give us their phone, put their (inaudible) thing back and everything and he was also drunk and everything and return to give us our cigarettes back and so he can, so he can go home but he doesn’t want to do that, and he’s sitting on his car cause he is awfully drunk and he’s not in control of himself.

    Operator: Okay, what type of vehicle does he have?

    Caller: And… um he’s got a vehicle that is ah…ah he got a vehicle that is ah one second let me see if I can see the license. The driver license is BRJ026.

    Operator: Okay, what color is it?

    Caller: It’s a blue color. It’s a blue van.

    Operator: Blue van?

    Caller: Yes, van.

    Operator: Alright blue van, gotcha. Is it out front or is it on 38th ST?

    Caller: Ah it’s on 38th ST.

    Operator: On 38th ST. So, this guy gave a counterfeit bill, has your cigarettes, and he’s under the influence of something?

    Caller: Something like that, yes. He is not acting right.

    They haven’t charged any cops yet because they probably are not liable.

    They had a 6’6” high as hell Negro with an armed robbery conviction. Anyone wanna bet turns out he was a lil froggy?

    Ah, who cares. Burn it down.

    My nephew sent me video of tonight’s Riot Repeat in South Minneapolis. They are shooting fireworks at the (empty) 3rd precinct building.

    Swiftee, even if all that is true (I’m not saying that it isn’t, I just haven’t heard it) that in no way justifies the cops action of putting his knee on his neck when he was subdued.

    There is still no cause of death, POD.
    Remember all the people that jumped on the Trayvon Martin bandwagon.
    People in the media are extremely sensitive to being lobbied by the “civil rights groups” that are backing today’s lynch mobs.

    Nothing justifies 99% of what 80% of cops on the street do every day, POD.

    So, before I squirt tears over a convicted armed robber that gets high af, drives to the local Sammi mart to pass fake currency, I’ll remember the thousands of innocent ppl that are locked up for life on the testimony of lying cops, planted evidence and exculpatory evidence hidden by a crooked prosecutor.

    this is why for the most part I haven’t commented on the death because we only have one small picture of what happened. In a way this reminds me of the Duke Lacrosse rape case from over a decade ago. I’m waiting for the trial. I’m just saying that it doesn’t look good.
