The Democrat Party has destroyed the city of Minneapolis, just like they have destroyed every city they control. President Trump has a real chance to flip Minnesota on November, 3rd. How can any rational person living in Minnesota vote for this horror to go national? And President Trump will need to take some sort of action against radical Dem mayors who are deliberately destroying our cities. It’s a tragedy.

8 North Minneapolis Residents Sue City For Lack Of Police Protection
Story continues below advertisementBy CBS Minnesota, October 20, 2020
MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) — For several months, people who live in the Jordan neighborhood in north Minneapolis have been asking for more police protection. Cathy Spann is one of those residents.
“Every single night on any block in this neighborhood you can hear gunshots!” Spann said. “Every single freaking night!”
Spann and seven other residents have sued the city of Minneapolis, and they had their day in court Monday, where a judge heard their pleas for help. Attorney James Dickey is representing the residents.
“We didn’t get anything we think from the city, and their affidavits they provided or today in court that would actually indicate that they have enough police on the force to keep Minneapolis safe, according to the city charter,” Dickey said.

According to Dickey, the city charter says a minimum of 753 officers is needed to protect residents. He says the city would not say how many officers are actually on the street.
Former city council member Don Samuels and his wife Sondra are among the residents being represented by Dickey.
“There’s some obfuscation and some disagreement as to what that number is, and we believe that part of the apathy of the city is an unwillingness to look itself … in the mirror and say, ‘What do we look like? What do we have and what do we need?’” Don Samuels said.
The Samuels say they were offended when the city attorneys told the judge the lawsuit has no standing because none of the plaintiffs have been hit by gunfire.
“To get standing we need to take a bullet, right? We’ve seen our neighbors take bullets. We know the 20 year old, we know the six month old who’s in the car when her mom gets shot up,” Sondra Samuels said.
They blame the Minneapolis City Council’s talk of defunding police for the rise in violence. Resident Jon Lundberg is one of the plaintiffs.
“We walked outside and I pulled this bullet out of my house. Out of my home, out of my siding,” Lundberg said.

Won’t matter if they try; until they can do something about the fraud and corruption, they will have to wing it on their own.
One yr past I eventually resigned from my workplace job and I’m so happy today … I began to work over internet, for a company I located over net , For a few hrs daily, and that I make substantially greater than that I did in my last job… Pay-check I obtained for last month was for Nine thousand dollars … Superb thing about this gig is that now I have more time period to spend with my family. Allow me to show you what I do…… bay25.com
Fraud Alert!
Getting lawyers to go up against an absolutely corrupt city, will do nothing, except drain their bank accounts. Why don’t they use that money instead to form a sort of neighborhood militia where everyone is armed and one or two neighbors stand guard. How else is the violence going to stop. Inviting the criminals over for coffee and ‘discussing it?’
The residents will still vote for Biden and his storm troopers.
Sanity amidst the cacophony of stupidity:

Schools that teach “white privilege” as fact are breaking the law, the U.K. equalities minister has told MPs. MP Kemi Badenoch said the underpinning ideology of critical race theory “sees my blackness as victimhood and their whiteness as oppression.” “This government stands unequivocally against critical race theory,” she told MPs during a debate on Oct. 20, in which Labour MP Dawn Butler had called for the curriculum to be “decolonised.”
well I was wondering about this, is it African-North-American, African-South-American, African-Mexican etc…
Hi Halal. Well this image seems like the easiest way to handle that absurd reasoning.. Ask the interlocutor to say which colors they hate, and which ones they like. And which ones should be pushed up, and which ones should be pushed down. All the colors that Dems want to push up now, they wanted to push down, 60 years ago.
And that up-down logic never works, because we can’t even agree about why we are doing it. Thomas Sowell has produced abundant evidence that affirmative action never works. Biological science is no help, because it says that the human species has no races, the genetic differences are too trivial to matter biologically. But for sure, ALL HUMANS are prejudiced, biased, and prone to hate. There is no ‘off’ button for prejudice, only a volume control.
That logic seems to work on even the most extreme lefty. They hate hearing it, but they usually stop bickering.
whaddabout African-Chinese? African-North-American-Indian?
It teaches RACISM!
“President Trump will need to take some sort of action against radical Dem mayors who are deliberately destroying our cities.”
All due respect, what can he do?
nothing. local elections have local consequences. the pasty whites in minneapolis have voted democrat for generations, and this is what happens. screw em
The Seditious and Treasonous Deep State conspirators and Democrat State and City officials MUST be and CAN be arrested using RICO laws.
Someone should whisper that fact to AG Barr so as not to embarrass him!
Whisper that word ‘RICO’ in the ear of that coward and Barr will ask, ‘Who is that?’ and ‘Why are you mentioning his name?’
No Barr would blink and say, “Call ICE about RICO’s status.”
omar is buying votes, and moh. ellison seem to be OK with it…
Why wouldn’t he be? Civilizational jihad at work to perfection-even faster with Biden at the helm of State, promising Muslims at every level of power within the government. What could (possibly) go wrong with that scenario?

is cathy spann a democrat? i will have no sympathy for her until that is established. is she’s a dem, then she’s getting exactly what she’s been voting for.
I would say she is a DEM. She in very involved and out spoken about BLM and other groups like that…
“We know we need change, but you’re not going to leave me unprotected,” said Cathy Spann, executive director of Jordan Area Community Council. Spann is exploring a lawsuit over the city’s proposal to defund the police.
photo says it all. she can go stuff herself
google the city council members in minneapolis, and its a lgbt club
Lessons learned the hard way, after defunding the police.
… suing the City? Nooooooooooo!
The idiot leftist citizens are suing the taxpayers, …THEMSELVES!
LMAO, ROTF!
A second challenge is through winning the suit against the city. The only source of funds for damages are the taxpayer-citizens. The only non-monetary relief is mandate to the city leaders to do their jobs. I look upon the larger need as damages to be paid by leadership in the city as persons who effectively abandoned the purpose for having a city government. It would not cure the problem, but would make it very personal to those who tacitly support violence and crime.
since the businesses have mostly left, those that could are gone, do you plan on taxing the welfare crowd? The money is just not there to take…
Suing is one thing. Try voting for conservative government instead of the anarchists you have elected in the past. I won’t be traveling to Minnesota until they do. Probably won’t visit regardless as I live in Florida and love it here. Best Governor in America. Kristi Noem is running a close second. Minnesota residents should consider South Dakota as a new home if you want to escape the madness.
Better get prepared for Nov 3rd. The left is going to lose their minds.
according to the lying media Trump is as low as 35%
Stop suing the People who live in the city, who will end up paying the final decree. Instead, SUE all of the politicians who “are in control” —- and ARE PERSONALLY RESPONSIBLE for the IDIOTIC handling of the processes !!!!
suing the city helps. It cuts their budgets, and thats less $$ for the LGBT of the city council
yet they still vote “d” all the way down the ballot….
the MN musim is buying votes, and moh. ellison and bill barr say NOTHING!
“cair” is talking about “interfaith relations”? The holly book called the korrran calls for the DEATH of ALL NON-ISLAM believers. Even PUBLIC LAW 414 STATES that organizations, thus including all individuals that adhere to the DEATH CULT which DEMANDS the DESTRUCTION of America. These groups and individuals should NOT be allowed into America!
