    Even in bright blue oases, the police tend to lean heavily to the right. I highly suspect that it has something to do with the authoritarian personality type being drawn to law enforcement work. Every major city in America has tales of the police unjustifiably killing black people. Just to be fair, they also kill the homeless and people suffering from a mental breakdown at an alarming rate. Perhaps the police should do a better job at screening their ranks.

    Just look at the two officers seen in the videos. The one standing guard is short and plump, while the one murderously pressing his knee against his victim’s neck, had arms like a girl. Seems to me that the problem at hand, tends to have a lot to do with the fear, and feelings of power by certain police officers.

    Minnesota State officials said that around 80 percent of those arrested in the Twin Cities on Friday had come from outside Minnesota. How outrageous. Those protesters don’t even live in Minneapolis! And that's pretty good since....

    ....only about 8 percent of Minneapolis police officers actually live in city limits. Why not make it a required that police must live in the city whose citizens they enthusiastically torture and murder? Cut the police's pay, privatize there retirement fund, and require they live in the city they kill in. For high liability pay-outs to police brutality victims, the city should be reimbursed from the FOP union retirement fund.

    A very good point that voters in Minn are not very bright.

    Sorry, but who was in charge of those “racist cops”? Was it liberal mayor and police chief, or the president of the United States?
    Where is the logic? What does Trump, Obama, Bush or Clinton have to do with police excesses? Cops are locals who were hired by locals. If Trump had authority to hire/fire police chiefs then you’d have the point, otherwise you look like someone with TDS.

    Twin Cities is a giant suburb, like LA.
    Not a whole lot of people live in Minneapolis or St Paul. The metro area is like 3 million people. Minneapolis has like 300,000 residents. So, only 1 out of 10 people who claim to be from Twin Cities live in Minneapolis proper.

    You call felony arson, looting, aggravated assault, felony criminal damage, attempted murder and felony use of a firearm a protest? Damn, what do you call the rape and sodomy of an eight year old, babysitting?

    Single out the places where violent riots are stimulated and encouraged by corrupt racist governments and their police. Places like Minnesota and Minneapolis.

    What do you call 123,472 Americans dead from the Trump mafia profiteering syndicate in only three months? And he's not even finished! The number of dead from Trump's greed is about a third of the entire population of Minneapolis.

    ...or two U.S. Bank Stadiums in Minneapolis each holding 66,666 seats.
    Take the log out of your eye!

    The RP has never given the dependent urban poor a persuasive reason for voting the DP out.
    Alas.

    Insurance companies will stop insuring anything where violent riots are encouraged and tolerated.

    It would seem to me after a while the poor, for what ever reason, would get the idea that the democrat lies that always comes out just before elections, are just that lies. Maybe they should try voting republican for a change.

    Insuring buildings is area that riot is akin to selling life insurance to a dead man.

    Americans tend to be very tolerant. But one of the two major political parties that govern America has always been an instrument for systemic racist policies directed toward the destruction of ethnic and racial minorities. The DP has always been a party of institutional racism, systematic ethnic cleansing and ultimately genocide.

    Ordinary Americans are fleeing from the DP to become Independents or even Republicans.
    Thin gruel for the oppressed.

    "Revelations of sterilization abuse during that time expose the complicity of the federal government. At first the Department of Health, Education and Welfare, claimed that approximately 16,000 women and 8000 management sterilized in 1972 on The offices of federal programs. Later however these figures underwent a drastic revision Carl Schultz, Director of AGW's population affairs office, estimated that between 100,000 and 200,000 sterilization have actually been funded that year by the federal government. During Hitler's Germany, incidentally, 250,000 sterilizations were carried out are The Nazi hereditary health law. Is it possible that Record of the Nazis, throughout the years of their reign, may have been almost equaled by US government funded sterilizations in the space a single year?"

    If you look at northern areas, due to the cold, most of the rural areas are pretty sparsely populated, and the overall population tends to be more concentrated into cities. (Because what else would there be to do over the long winters outside those cities?)
    The population in more rural areas is so sparse, low, and spread out, that there's not really much culture or much social/political organization that can take place there, so those rural people are influenced much more by the culture and politics going on in the urban core of their cities.
    It's a pattern that repeats across the US, Canada, and Northern Europe.

    I have speculated there may possibly be some genetic component as well, because traditionally the people who populated Minnesota came from Northern Europe, and there are a lot of similarities that can be seen between those two regions.

    The DP power structure is now actively empowering the radicals who are destroying yet another black American community. Why do you think DP governments including their police and courts keep doing this?

    Few of the anarchists and arsonists are arrested, and when they are they are let go to commit more of the same crimes. This is not an accident it is government policy.

    Whenever a government actively encourages violent riots and arson people no longer count.

    Ah, you finally caught on to us racist conservatives. We did a great job though. Look at all the blue cities we targeted with this virus. We hit the liberal cities in New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, California and Illinois yet left the conservative areas of those states alone. We’ve been working on this targeted virus since Trump won the election back in ‘16. You guys have been so busy with collusion, Russia, Ukraine, Stormy, obstruction, racism, impeachment and abuse of power that you didn’t even realize what us conservatives were doing.

    And I have to be honest with you. This virus was so easy to infect all you liberals with. All we had to do is duplicate the wuss gene that all you liberals have and viola. There you have it. We did hide this by referring it to Coronavirus but soon this virus’ real name will be unfolded. This virus’ pathological name is Pussitis. A very fitting name.

    Now, top that conspiracy theory.

    Another government policy is about 20% of US police are ex-military, but are only 6% of the population. However, some local police are 75% or more ex-military.

    PD that accept veterans get government grants if hired so it skews the kind of persons that enter law enforcement. In almost every police academy there will be one person that is ex-military special forces, but they have to be shown which end of the gun to point down range. They were usually ex-military who worked in personnel records (to falsify their own record). Ex-military are very good at skirting legal rules, and creating a false record trail: a skill taught by experience. Domestic police are basically mercenaries posing as officer friendly.
