The current widespread displeasure with MPD for mismanaging their budget was preceded by years of false claims from mindless police boosters that cops were starved of funding. It gave political cover for shoveling piles of money into a furnace as a proxy for safety.

Let me recap: the MPD is 30 million over budget, helped Lang plan his riot, set up barricades for him, let him drive multiple vehicles into a crowded area, one of the cop had their foot run over, and now we can’t press charges because the cops are in on it in the first place.

It’s just malpractice if the Strib doesn’t do a real examination of what a Republican Attorney General would mean, instead of centering all of its coverage on DFL vulnerabilities. www.startribune.com/minnesota-at...

startribune.com

Keith Ellison wants to run on fighting Trump. Republicans want to make it about fraud.

Republican Ron Schutz is betting Ellison’s vulnerabilities can flip an attorney general’s race expected to be among Minnesota’s closest this fall.

I grew up among white evangelicals; graduated from Wheaton College and spent my first 21 years in right-wing culture—and David Roberts is so right about this. The right’s great heroes are such small, small, stupid men—and the corporate media is always sane-washing.

1) MPD got a 22% raise in their latest contract. 2) MPD has apparently not managed to stay in budget for SEVEN YEARS. 3) They are blowing their budget by tens of millions of dollars a year. We are draining Minneapolis dry to pay for an MPD that refused to answer the phone all winter.

I have my issues with Klob, but the searing anger I have toward Demuth supersedes everything for me. She was instrumental to bringing this chud here. About 10 days later after the chud's video, Good was murdered. Demuth holds as much responsibility for Metro Surge as Trump, Bovino and Noam.
