That’s moxie. Minn. Gov, Minneapolis Mayor and the rest of the Democrat clowns sanctioned, encouraged the rioting, looting, burning, protests. They should live with consequences of anti-law and order, anti-police anarchy.
Minnesotans voted for their Democrat government. And the people are being punished.

Trump Turns Down Minnesota’s Request for $16 Million in Aid for Minneapolis; Emmer Demands Accountability First
The Trump administration has rejected a request by Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) for millions of dollars in federal aid to repair damage to buildings and infrastructure destroyed in riots that followed the killing of George Floyd on Memorial Day.
Breitbart, July 12, 2020:
On July 2, Gov. Walz formally asked President Donald Trump “declare a major disaster for the State of Minnesota because of extensive fire damage to public infrastructure caused by civil unrest,” according to the governor’s office.
Walz sought financial assistance from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), estimating the damage “eligible” for relief to be nearly $16 million. The total damage in the city, he said, was estimated at about $500 million.
But on Friday, the governor’s office confirmed that his request had been denied, according to the Minneapolis Star-Tribune.
“The Governor is disappointed that the federal government declined his request for financial support,” said a spokesperson for Walz in a statement quoted by the Star-Tribune. “As we navigate one of the most difficult periods in our state’s history, we look for support from our federal government to help us through.”
President Donald Trump has been critical of Walz for what he said was a weak response to the riots that broke out after Floyd was killed in police custody on May 25.
On Wednesday, May 27, President Trump announced that he had directed the FBI and the Department of Justice to conduct a swift investigation of Floyd’s death.
But that night, rioters attacked a police precinct and set businesses ablaze. Local law enforcement did little to respond.
Though Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey requested National Guard troops the next morning, and Gov. Walz formally mobilized the Guard that afternoon, the initial response was insufficient.
In his letter requesting funds, Gov. Walz wrote to the president that the state had acted to address the civil unrest “quickly.”
But state law enforcement officials told a different story.
As leaders of the Minnesota National Guard and Department of Public Safety testified before the Senate last week, the initial call-up of 200 National Guard troops was inadequate.
As the Twin Cities Pioneer Press reported:
Top law enforcement leaders on Thursday said earlier deployment of National Guard members to assist in the response to protests, arson fires and looting in Minneapolis and St. Paul could’ve mitigated the damage that resulted in May.
…
Heads of the Minnesota National Guard and Department of Public Safety on Thursday told a Senate panel that their reaction lagged as civil unrest grew beyond what state officials expected and as National Guard officials attempted to reset plans to mobilize an appropriate number of members to address the scene.
Soon the state’s entire 15,000-strong force would be mobilized. President Trump also offered the support of the U.S. military, which was placed on alert, but was not requested by the state in the end.
As protests continued under the banner of “Black Lives Matter,” Mayor Frey attempted to negotiate directly with them, only to be chased off the street when he refused to accept their demand to abolish or defund the police.
Later that month, a veto-proof, unanimous majority of the city council approved a pledge to abolish the Minneapolis Police Department.
Rep. Tom Emmer (R-MN) wrote to the president last Thursday, asking him to order a federal review of Minnesota’s response to the violence before any federal funds were released.
Minnesota is considered a key battleground state in the 2020 presidential election after Trump nearly won it in 2016.

The audacity of DEMS who let their city burn and then ask for money to cover the damage is beyond outrageous! As stated the city council wants police abolished, so what will limp wristed Mayor Frey do about that? At least he had one moment of sanity when he asked Trump to come in and end the madness,.

Move the offices. Move them to a point is, as the very least, a two hour commute from the twin cities.

Absolutely correct!
In 2016 and 1017 I worked for SS Administration in Detroit. As you know the election of Trump took place in November 2016.
As late as April 2017 you could not find a single photo of President Trump in the building.
But there were still photos of Obama everywhere. This reflects a decision made by the higher ups in SSA not to recognize the legitimate POTUS in a federal building. I quit the job in April so I don’t know when or if they ever replaced the Obama POTUS photos with Trump photos.

“As we navigate one of the most difficult periods in our state’s
history, we look for support from our federal government to help us
through.” That’s rich! Trump should not only withhold those funds but, CHARGE the state of MN that amount of money for endangering the civil rights of it’s citizens. How long would that governor keep asking for the money then.

Insurance will cover their losses, however they will raise rates according to the political party running the city. Expect many businesses to take the insurance settlement and rebuild in a safer city and state.

You would be surprised how many small retailers carry nothing but liability insurance. I know a few that lost over $250,000.00, in inventory, and a good $150,000.00 in fixtures … with only liability.
They couldn’t afford full coverage and make a profit.
So, the negroes didn’t just raise insurance rates and murder people ….

They voted Democrat, and they are getting what they deserve. Their government did nothing to stop the riots. Their federal government does not owe them a cent to clean up the mess. Sad to say, but the people need to physically remove their state and city government if they want help, and they won’t do it.

At least the Jewish mayor did not want to defund the police. But, his response was too slow, to little, So the Minnesota city council votes to defund the police and want money to put up buildings that BLMers will only burn down. Trump is right. When Minnesota and Minneapolis get adult supervision they can have some rebuilding aid.
