a great irony is that the sjw libtards had
already taken over the Minneapolis police department. They put in chief Arradondo, the "I'm black yo, I'm blackety blackety black yo" of department heads, a man who wasn't just made top cop because he was a necessary black man to replace harteau after the Noor scandal, but because he had even
sued the department for discrimination, and he made his #1 priority in woke policing and anti-discrimination. Eliminated warrior training, ended low level marijuana stings "because they target black people", fired cops involved in scandals and even a hint of abuse of force complaints, etc. The progressive democrats- Ilhan Omar supporters- already ran the police department, local government, city council, mayor, civilian boards, you name it.
What we're seeing here isn't a backlash against a regressive police force, we're seeing rioters take advantage of the weakness of a progressive police force.
The city and state kept giving more and more slack, kept declaring new forms of decriminalization and unenforced statutes. They said you could hop the light rail and they'd never check for fares, they did nothing when black / somali flash mobs committed numerous violent gang beatings of white people and the elderly over the past few years. It got more and more aggressive and the police responded by withdrawing further and further. And now its boiled over.
