Minneapolis police offer advice on how to stay safe amid crime surge: Give up cellphone

 One-third of the department may leave by the end of the year

:snip:

KTSP.com reported that police in the city offered a list to help residents navigate the increase in crimes. Some of the examples on the list include “carry only items you need and carry less cash; be prepared to give up your cellphone and purse or wallet; don’t fight with the criminal; remember your safety is most important.”:snip:

Right around 38.5 minutes after this story came out (which BTW has been standard advice from law enforcement for Decades...ie if you are being robbed don't resist) Huge numbers of normally sane Conservatives promptly when...well insane. Acting like this was something brand new.

The Eagan Police Department is seeking information on suspects who vandalized a statue and sprayed graffiti on other property outside the city’s Community Center Tuesday evening.

Police say the damage occurred during a protest that was organized to counter an event planned by police.

Although protest organizers said their event would be a peaceful rally, the post stated “this was far from the case.”

Police indicated that protesters showed up and vandalized property, including a police statue that was spray-painted with an expletive and “BLM.” Another photo showed a woman spray-painting a wall with another expletive.

Ground Zero: Minneapolis, Three Months Later After the George Floyd riots, the Twin Cities have a long road to recovery.

Miinneapolis, Minn. 

Today marks three months since George Floyd was killed, and the Twin Cities are still reeling.

The riots are done here, at least for now. The protests, however, are ongoing, gaining strength whenever a new racial outrage in 2020’s Long Hot Summer hits the airwaves. The situation is like this in many other major cities, too. Once the violence subsides, the full scope of the damage becomes apparent. 

In Minneapolis, there’s a lot to assess. Starting at the third police precinct, which rioters overtook and burned in the third night of protests, the destruction reaches all the way down East Lake St., where the bulk of the rioting occurred. Windows were smashed, stores were looted, and whole strip malls were torched. You probably saw the videos when national attention was fixed on Minneapolis in June. What you couldn’t see was that the damage goes on for three miles.

 

The country, of course, has since moved on. After all, there’s unchecked rioting in Portland, the perils of the 2020 election, and the billion-footed coronavirus pandemic — more pressing issues than a mid-sized midwestern city tearing itself apart. But that doesn’t change the situation in Minneapolis: it’s a tragic mess. 

When I drove down Lake St. this weekend, I was shocked at the extent of the wreckage. The corner where the burned-out husk of the precinct stands is unrecognizable from how it looked when I visited last summer. The Target, which was looted throughout the worst of the riots, is closed. In the lot across the street from the Target, occupied for years by a Wendy’s and an Autozone, it’s worse. There’s nothing there at all.:snip:

Court documents show that George Floyd’s body contained a lethal dose of fentanyl at autopsy

Newly released documents show the Hennepin County Medical Examiner concluded that George Floyd had a lethal dose of fentanyl at autopsy after he died.

Kyle Hooten

August 25, 2020

The Hennepin County Medical Examiner found a potentially lethal dose of fentanyl in George Floyd’s body during his autopsy, but was unable to identify any evidence that Floyd died of “asphyxiation” or “damage to his airways.”

Two new exhibits introduced before the Hennepin County District Court show that Hennepin County Medical Examiner Dr. Andrew Baker concluded that George Floyd’s body contained a lethal dose of fentanyl, a powerful opioid, following his death in police custody on May 25. Dr. Baker formed this conclusion after he performed an autopsy on Floyd’s body.

Dr. Baker’s assessment was introduced to former officer Tou Thao’s trial in a Hennepin County District Court alongside four other exhibits, which include statements about the cause of Floyd’s death from a two-person team of independent medical examiners as well as the Armed Forces Medical Examiner.

‘Threatening the use of force’ will be considered ‘use of force in and of itself’ in Minneapolis

According to a city press release, the new use of force policy requires that officers consider all “reasonable alternatives” before resorting to deadly force.

August 31, 2020

Just hours before a fresh wave of rioting hit Minneapolis last week, Mayor Jacob Frey and Police Chief Medaria Arradondo announced an “overhaul” of the police department’s use of force policy.

“No incidents have been more damaging to police-community relations than the excessive or unnecessary use of force against the people who our officers are sworn to protect,” Frey said during a Wednesday press conference.

“Upholding the sanctity of life is not just a part of this policy – it is the foundation of it. These changes represent a fundamental shift within our department and set clearer standards for the community and officers as well,” he continued.

According to a city press release, the new use of force policy requires that officers consider all “reasonable alternatives” before resorting to deadly force and use the lowest level of force needed to safely control a subject.

So we can expect The Boy Mayor to be picketing Planned Parenthood Soon?
