Re: Cops 7: What Could Go Wrong?

Are people allowed to be driving or is it only walking on the streets?

No driving unless emergency, police, or medical.

NYPD source informs me 88 Pct in Brooklyn just been overrun.

Police Commissioner Shea has called a Level 3 mobilization.

Requires all special units respond and four cars from every command in the city to location.

84 Pct under siege, as well. Also, Brooklyn North.

Racism: America's pre-existing condition.

Our Original Sin. In his initial draft of the Declaration of Independence, Jefferson included language that described the slave trade as the perverse plot of an evil English monarch designed to contaminate innocent colonists. Joseph Ellis, Founding Brothers.

Slavery would seem to be completely inimical to the core values of the Declaration, but the support for it and the divisions arising out of it went so deep that the (arguably) most skilled drafters and statesmen in our country's history decided that addressing the issue head-on in 1787 might cause the whole thing to fall apart. So they turned tail and ran and gave us Article I, Section 9, paragraph 1: "The Migration or Importation of such Persons as any of the States now existing shall think proper to admit, shall not be prohibited by the Congress prior to the Year one thousand eight hundred and eight." Those guys were not cowards, but they knew how deep that pre-existing condition had penetrated our soul.

Back when America was Great.

The MPLS stuff is mainly peaceful. Looks to be a car or two set on fire, but that's about it. If that changes, I think the Guard moves in quickly.

Could be. Or (puts on tinfoil hat): This is what happens when there are no police around. (takes off tinfoil hat)

I think they'll move in with full force only when they have to. No half-measures tonight.

I think Rube is talking about Atlanta. CNN keeps harping on We Should Listen To These People Because Some Of Them Are White.

White people in an Atlanta protest mob would be a BFD. No such thing as a Trustafarian poser in the low rent areas of that city. You're either a white professional with the money to live in the northern suburban compounds far away from downtown, or you're black/Latinx and don't have money.

Large group on 31st and Nicollet in MPLS. Peaceful. Guy with the bullhorn is quite a hype man. He's real good at this.

The downtown folks have been very peaceful the last two nights. The ones that are NOT there...that is what you are usually seeing on tv.

North Minneapolis having issues. Sounds like Olympic Cafe was lit on fire...

My buddy lives on the North Side so he is freaking out a bit.
