VIDEO: Liberal Minneapolis Mayor Kicked Out of Protest and Taunted When Refuses to Defund Police

The revolution always consumes its own: “Get the F**k Out” and forced to walk gauntlet of protesters shouting “Shame”

https://twitter.com/CTUL_TC/status/1269396638411481094

The thing about revolutionary mobs is that eventually they consume their own.

Liberal Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, who made headlines yesterday by ostentatiously crying at the casket of George Floyd, found that out today.

Frey, who just signed an order prohibiting police use of chokeholds, attended a rally by a group calling for defunding the police department. Frey gave a speech to the group supporting the general goals of the Black Lives Matter movement and protests over the death of Floyd.

But then the organizers put him on the spot and demanded a Yes or No answer on full defunding. Frey tried to evade the question, but finally said he was not in favor of eliminating the police.

So he got kicked out of the rally and was forced to do a ‘walk of shame’ by the protesters (the Question comes at 0.55)

Here’s the ‘walk of shame’ from another angle.

And a local news report where the Mayor explained his position.

        FBI Pledge Allegiance to Black Lives Matter, Antifa, Nation of Islam and New Black Panthers Protesters…

        In a display of public unity with ‘The Movement’ writ large, FBI officials took a knee to declare their woke allegiance with the protesting mobs. With that visible display we now have a better understanding of the motives behind a history of FBI failures.

        Setting aside the optic that some members of the FBI looking more like ‘meal-team-6’, there was always a suspicion the FBI were more concerned about political correctness than actually doing the work of a federal investigative agency. Historically the FBI has failed miserably to stop domestic terror threats; and when the investigative failures are researched there’s usually a prior connection between the attackers and the FBI.

        The father of the Orlando Pulse nightclub terrorist, Omar Mateen, was a guy named Seddique Mateen (you might remember seeing him at the Hillary Clinton rally). After Omar killed 49 people it was discovered that Seddique had been an FBI informant for over eleven years (2005 to 2016).

        Similarly, after the Parkland school shooting, it was discovered the FBI was fully aware of Nikolas Cruz, yet again they had taken no action. The exact same scenario had played out several years earlier when the FBI was warned about the Tsarnaev brothers before the Boston Marathon Bombing 2013 and yet they did nothing to stop it.

      Update of yesterday’s Buffulo Fraud

      Buffalo Officials Duped By Professional Antifa Provocateur – Arrest and Charge Two Police Officers – Righteous Police Team Stand Together and Walk Out…

      Martin Gugino is a 75-year-old professional agitator and Antifa provocateur who brags on his blog about the number of times he can get arrested and escape
      prosecution. Gugino’s Twitter Account is also filled with anti-cop sentiment [SEE HERE]. Last Thursday Gugino traveled from his home in Amherst, New York, to Buffalo to agitate a protest crowd.

      During his effort Gugino was attempting to capture the radio communications signature of Buffalo police officers. CTH noted what he was attempting on Thursday night as soon as the now viral video was being used by media to sell a police brutality narrative. [Thread Here] Today, a more clear video has emerged that shows exactly what he was attempting.

      In this slow motion video, you will see Gugino using a phone as a capture scanner. You might have heard the term “skimming”; it’s essentially the same. Watch him use his right hand to first scan the mic of officer one (top left of chest). Then Gugino moves his hand to the communications belt of the second officer. WATCH CLOSELY:

        Sonnys Mom in reply to Milhouse. | June 7, 2020 at 4:17 pm

        You fail to grasp how easily leftist talking points become urban legends. The impacts of the disinformation that came out of the Ferguson incident were well worth any consultant fees paid out. Leftist lies and propaganda have a very, very long half-life. For example, a lot of people taking part in the current civil unrest still wholeheartedly believe that Mike Brown actually called out, “Hands up! Don’t shoot!” even though multiple eyewitnesses have stated that this never happened, and the kid who made that claim had a history of providing false information to police (for which charges had been brought against him in the past).

        There is nothing– nothing– the left won’t do to cause the kind of disruption they believe must precede the downfall of civil society. Please wake up, Milhouse.

          Milhouse in reply to Sonnys Mom. | June 7, 2020 at 11:21 pm

          Indeed. Why do you think I would disagree with anything you wrote? Now please explain how any of that means Soros gave $33 Million to organize the Ferguson riots. The only source is the quoted piece, which doesn’t say that.

only when the crime rate is zero and stays there will there be a legitimate justification for defunding the police

I couldn’t find it on Pacer:

Does anyone know why Judical Watch has standing under the FOA to sue hillary clinton in its case against her?

Laughed at his answer in the second video. Still pandering madly in the hopes someone will like him.
Girly man isn’t low enough for what that piece of trash should be called.

Remember when Obama wanted to create a federal police force more powerful than the US military? Defund local police, cause mayhem and offer the solution of a federal force. Wasn’t it Biden who said things are only valid if federalized?

Even the major dictatorships had local police or used them… Thinking of Franke family officially arrested by the Dutch police with a Gestapo rep along for the ride.

No matter how much you appease it, you can’t be one of the mob and one of the authorities that oppose it, too. The mob knows it. Mayor Frey didn’t. Nothing less than abject surrender will suffice.
On the other hand, a strong mayor who cared about the law-abiding peaceful citizens of his city would have moved to quell the rioting when it first began, on the grounds that your best change of stopping a fire is when it is small. Frey has already shown he isn’t one of those.
I venture to predict that he’s going to get eaten. Soon.

    The swamp/left/islamic axis had a measure of frey when they “allowed” him to be voted-in.

    He’s being exactly the sap they knew he would be.

    Same with LA mayor garcetti.

    From the beginning of this fiasco, the Mayor has kicked his pandering up to eleventy, in a sad and utterly predictable effort to save his job. He will be replaced, but not by a political opposite, law and order type. He will lose to someone more radical and further left. Minneapolis is lost to civilization, and I don’t care.

    “Kneel before Zod” earns you only a brief pause. If the Left decides you have to be hated and despised, it doesn’t matter how much you grovel and debase yourself, you’re doomed.

    He needs to do the honorable thing and resign before he gets recalled.

    Walz too and the entire city council.

    According to city charter, police must be funded and there must be a certain number of officers so they have made fools of themselves.

    While I agree with abolishing the choke hold, there are a lot of angry people here at the idea of abolishing the police.

Partially off-topic: a PhD student at University of Minnesota has a meltdown over the fact that two of the officers who were charged were sociology students at the school.

https://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2020/06/shame-at-the-sociology-department.php

It is not exactly clear what the PhD student is calling for in his rambling and at times incoherent rant, but it seems he is promoting discrimination against students who are (or want to be) police officers.

Bit by bit we are watching the Left abandon its supposedly immutable principles in favor of raw power and unabashed genocide. Discrimination against someone because of race? Only black lives matter! Diversity? Only if you look, act, and think exactly like us will you be allowed to go on breathing! Free speech and civil rights? That is white oppression! Civility in politics? SHUT UP OR I WILL KILL YOU RACIST!!!!

    We are at war – this is the big time. Get with it, or lose our country to fascism!

      Since I was a pup the Left has publicly preached diversity, tolerance, peace, and luuuuuv. They rarely practiced those principles, except with those whom they favored.

      Now there is no pretending anymore. Their genocidal hate is out, loud, and proud.

      We are already in a hot (shooting) civil war, and have been since the 1960s. Left wing terrorist groups have enjoyed a quasi-legal status since at least the Johnson administration, and have been permitted to kill and maim with only occasional pushback from law enforcement. What is different now is the Left believe themselves on the cusp of absolute power, so the death toll is rapidly climbing in anticipation of the genocide they hope for.

      In the face of this I have no one-size-fits-all advice to give, let alone a promise of success. Even after three-quarters of a century I don’t see any clear strategy Jews could have followed to protect themselves against the Nazis, and I believe a somewhat similar pattern is being woven here. The only thing I can say never forget for an instant that the MSM/DNC axis hates you and wants you dead or enslaved (they are growing bolder in openly proclaiming this). Do what you feel you must to fight back and have no regrets.

      American ghettos were created by the left, when they lured blacks into the inner city, creating the welfare state, and breaking up the black nuclear family. Now, they have their street army.

      Their backup army – too pussified to fight – are the white “marchers”, brainwashed and broken by four years of indocrination and 100k+ of college loan debt in the dumbest of degrees.

      There is a way out: it’s not pretty, and it requires us to return violence with violence. At stake is our country and our way of life, if not our very lives.

      Changes Headline To ‘Disband The Police’

      https://saraacarter.com/academic-fixes-sen-cottons-op-ed-changes-headline-to-disband-the-police/

So, Floyd was using fentanyl. He was capable of disparate force. There is a question of motive to restrain him. Floyd tested positive for SARS-CoV-2, a probable spreader. Then the protestors carry out a warlock judgment and cause excess burdens across the nation. There is no evidence that diversity was a motive. #HateLovesAbortion

But I was progressive!

In this case, liberal. Not their kind of liberal (i.e. divergent), which is notably generational and factional.

How did this weenie become mayor!? He has no leadership skills WHATSOEVER!

    Which is why the crazy women running the democrat party let him win.

    He is as much a beta male as trudeau and obama, and just as big of a useful idiot. Pelosi ran things when obama was in office – even when boehner was Squeaker of the House.
    (Ugh. Standing next to obama and pelosi on a gallows should be boehner.)

Why did the mayor even show up at this event? Was it to the prove to the mob that he was not one of them? The man is a political idiot if he thought anything positive could result from his attendance at a mob event. He is a weak appeaser who failed to protect the people and property of his city. I’ll bet that even Democrat property owners are calling the mayor up complaining that because of him and the anarchists on the city council all their property values have lost over 50% and are worth less than their mortgages.

A new hashtag from now until November needs to be #DemocratsDestroyWhatTheyControl

Look, the progressive Democrat politicians, and a number of Republicans, the media and the anarchist and other violent leftist organizations are all involved in the operation to destroy the rise of Populism in the West. None of them are in control of that operation. Others are in charge and are directing this. Again, look to who can not only best survive a collapse of this civilization and who is actually making money at the moment. In order to get politicians to back something like this, those politicians either have to feel that they will be protected by those in charge or they are totally stupid. And, sometimes both.

I would say “defund the police” is peak TDS, but everytime I think we’ve reached the upper limit, the democrats quickly break that barrier too. The left is demanding their ‘Atlas Shrugged’ moment without realizing or even caring about the repercussions.

    What is with this blaming piolice and other pyb;ic worker unions?

    First of all, police unions do not control the hiring and firing of LEOs. any officer can be terminate for just cause; such violating the law or policies and procedures. What police unions do is to protect their members from the capricious and arbitrary job actions that politicians attempt to inflict upon them. In the Floyd case, 4 LEOs were fired from the MPD 2 days after the incident occurred. They were not suspended pending the completion of any investigation. They had no disciplinary hearings. The investigation had barely begun, let alone been completed. The terminated in a totally capricious and arbitrary manner. I will bet dollars to donuts, that somewhere down the line, they will be reinstated. Why? Because the City of Minneapolis violated contractual working agreements and, possibly, civil service laws.

    Now, government agencies are totally to blame for problems with disciplining their employees, especially police employees. The biggest reason is because the penalties imposed are often capricious. An officer, well-liked by the brass, will get a letter of reprimand, while one out of favor gets suspended without pay for the same offense.

    The most heavily regulated government agencies in the US are local and state LEAs. Virtually every enforcement action of an officer is subjected to numerous reviews. They are reviewed by supervisors, prosecutors, defense attorneys, civil attorneys, the courts and the media. Complaints are usually accepted and well investigated, with the results being available to the public. And, LEOs are constantly barraged by frivolous compoaint from citizens with no understanding of the job and too much time on their hands to criminals trying to gain revenge or preferential treatment in court.

    As to the complaint that public unions favor Democrat politicians, while generally true it is not universal. Dems get the support of the union leadership because they are much more open handed about giving raises and benefits than are Republicans. However, all of these job concessions are freely given. No politician is held at gunpoint or members of his family held hostage to gain these benefits. And, if the public is opposed, well, they know how to reach their elected representatives.

    Police unions exist for a reason; to protect people who are supposed to enforce the law in a neutral manner from the vagaries of politics.

(Prior to riot)
PresIdent: Hey. You guys need the NatIona Guard?
Wenz /Frey: No we’re good. Our diversity is our strength.

(After riot)
Frey: Holy Crap! What happened?

“Sure, I’ll defund the police, when you embrace the 2nd amendment.”

“How do you like my friends? I made them myself.”

Thank you, Lord, for putting me in the place I live – about 800 miles south of MPLS.
