1ºWHy would anybody live in a hellhole like Minneapolis anyway??Aug. 12 (UPI) -- A Minneapolis police officer was shot and wounded while pursuing suspects in a robbery, the city's police chief says.
Chief Brian O'Hara said the officer, who is a seven-year veteran of the MPD, was riding in an unmarked car on Friday when he was ambushed with automatic gunfire and wounded in the shoulder.
"By the grace of God, he is alive, awake and talking," O'Hara told reporters during a press briefing.
While authorities have not named the wounded officer, the (Minneapolis) Star Tribune cited multiple sources in identifying the victim as Officer Jacob Spies.
At about 8 p.m., in the wake of a robbery, police say they saw a white Chevrolet Equinox and attempted to stop the vehicle. The driver initially pulled over to the side of the road but then drove off, leading to a pursuit.
2ºSteph Raines my kind? Who’s my kind exactly? So my kind which is indigenous Apache’s did something? Pulling video from local channels of it happening showed way more than white people it also showed blacks as well. Your denial is Amazing and the deaf, dumb and blind act isn’t working. But but it was 99% of white people and my kind according to you. So my kind have a question for you. What indigenous tribe do you belong to exactly? Oh you don’t and the video from Minneapolis news station was? I know fake and the video was made up and released by whites and my kind. But but the video is wrong. Tell my kind ( indigenous Apache’s) what exactly what we did during those three days, since you know. Yep it was 99% of white people and my kind that did it. Every race other than blacks did it all. While the others were rioting the others were reading there bibles and praying.
3ºThe fact is George Floyd was killed in Minneapolis, by a Minneapolis policeman. He was not killed by a federal agent in a community of white supremacists.
Minneapolis has been dominated by Democrat mayors for more than 40 years. If systemic racism exists in the Minneapolis police force it has been enabled by Democrat leaders for more than 40 years. Make no mistake, Gov. Walz, Mayor Frey, Attorney General Ellison, Police Chief Arradondo, Rep. Omar, Sens. Klobuchar and Smith – you own this situation. You have all run on platforms promising you would rid our community of this type of heinous behavior.
Liberal politicians’ show their cynicism when, while in control for decades, they express their outrage that racism is a systemic problem in the police department of our largest city. Each of these leaders has expressed support for the protesters, as if they are sympatico with their cause. Where is the self-awareness? These people are not supporting your leadership, they are protesting against your failure to deal with systemic racism while you are empowered to make real change.
Tim Waltz is our governor; not George Wallace
Jacob Frey is the mayor; not Lester Maddox
