    An attorney says that more than 150 Minneapolis police officers have started the process to file disability claims following the death of George Floyd, mostly for Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), numerous sources reported.

    In the six weeks after the death of Floyd on May 25, an influx of officers have filed the claims, mentioning the exhaustion of working long shifts without relief or support from city leadership, attorney Ron Meuser Jr., who is representing the officers, said according to Minnesota’s CBS affiliate.

    “While law enforcement is a high-stress career, the last two months in Minneapolis have pushed many officers to their breaking point,” he said in a statement.

    Meuser said the disability claims affect almost 20% of officers in the department, which is an “astronomical number” according to him, CBS reported.

    Good move Minneapolis. I bet the voters are gonna love this on top of trying to repair the damage that the mayor city council enabled.

    Remember when this used to be the symbol of Minneapolis?

    Only 150?

    I'll never traverse Hennepin Avenue or patronize Psycho Suzi's again. Too dangerous of a place to risk it.

    Honestly, I'm surprised there are not more cases.

    Funny how bringing in the 3rd world resulted in the city being burned and looted in just a few decades.

    Of course, all of Minneapolis's problems are blamed on whites.

    This is what I love the most. It is white's fault when we move away to form our own communities/schools. Black activists are straight up saying that they cannot succeed unless they attend schools with white people. Flabbergasting. What white person would say that their kid cannot succeed unless they attend school with some other ethnicity? What kind of self-hating black would say such a dehumanizing thing about her own race? We are in a weird position where these black activists HATE white people while also demanding to live near white people (how can you blame whitey if he lives 100 miles away).

    Whites move away from blacks because they fear for their children's safety and their children's culture. When blacks burn down half the damn city, can you blame them?

    Astounding, isn't it?

    The more of them that willingly come here and the more free stuff we give them, the more they hate us. And we're supposed to accept this and give them more.

    And you wonder what the issue is? Take a look in the closest mirror.

    Great.

    Some ambulance chasing lawyers convinced these cops that they could get some free money?

    Cool.

    Like I said before. When whites leave a mixed race neighborhood it is called "white flight." When whites move into a mixed race neighborhood it is called gentrification.

    Can you think of a wealthy and safe black neighborhood? I can’t.

    As soon as a POC gets a little cash they move into the safe white areas. They even escape from their countries and move to a white one.

    Cancel their benefits package and you will see an immediate recovery. They are just showing how they love to screw the taxpayers of their city.

    The weird thing is that apparently the average citizen of the state cannot figure out why this stuff keeps happening to them and so they continue to vote for Democrats and then expect different results.
