Will be interesting to see how this one turns out. Couple of links with video, 1 that shows the actual shooting:

Police chief releases video of officers being shot, says video should stay in courtroom

Police release footage of fatal shooting of Tulsa police officer

Not gonna watch, as I rarely do with these things. It sounds like a lose/lose all the way around. Seems crazy to have your car towed, and then maced, and tazed for not complying over expired tags but we live in a police state. These officers were only doing what is the status quo but that needs to change. Just write him a ticket and be on your way, and everybody goes home safely.

The first link cuts before the actual shooting, if that matters. Just shows all the back and forth.

Billionaire George Soros donates $1 Million to Racial Justice organization seeking to Defund the Police

Billionaire and inventor George Soros recently provided a generous donation to a racial justice organization that supports defunding the police.

The Hungarian-born American philanthropist donated $1 million to the Color Of Change PAC on May 14, according to records from the Federal Election Commission.

Soros routinely backs Democratic congressional candidates and attorneys general, and has made a string of financial contributions toward groups or candidates that advocate for defunding the police.

Imagine thinking it’s ok for violent felons to do what they want. You could say this about them robbing and shooting an elderly woman on her way to the store. “Imagine thinking your life is worth walking to the store”. These animals need to be locked up

Minneapolis effort to Abolish Police Department Rakes in Cash


A group supporting the abolition of the Minneapolis Police Department raked in nearly $1 million from liberal special interest organizations, including from many who do not live near the city.

The group, Yes 4 Minneapolis, successfully pushed to place a ballot initiative before voters in November that will ask whether the city should scrap the Police Department and replace it with a Department of Public Safety. Voters will be asked if they support amending the Minneapolis charter to eliminate the existing Police Department and create a new body focused on a “comprehensive public health approach” to maintaining order, according to the language of the initiative.

The liberal group raised roughly $983,000 in direct and in-kind contributions, according to campaign finance documents filed this week.

MoveOn.org, a left-wing advocacy group focused on social justice and liberal political issues, was the biggest contributor to Yes 4 Minneapolis with its in-kind donations. In April and May, the prominent national organization lent the Minneapolis group access to its email lists valued at $430,383.

A couple of interesting nuggets.

Minnesota Poll: Minneapolis voters divided on replacing MPD
A new KARE 11/MPR News/Star Tribune/FRONTLINE Minnesota Poll found most voters think the size of the city's police department shouldn't be reduced.

According to a new KARE 11/MPR News/Star Tribune/FRONTLINE Minnesota Poll conducted before early voting began, 49% of Minneapolis voters support replacing MPD with a new policing model that may include officers, but also focus on public health and give the city council more authority over public safety, while 41% of voters oppose the idea and 10% are undecided.

The poll, conducted by Mason-Dixon Polling & Strategy, interviewed 800 registered likely voters in the city of Minneapolis between Sept. 9-13. The citywide poll has a standard +/- 3.5% margin of error.

Male and female voters evenly support replacing the MPD (48% and 49%), but there is some noticeable divergence in support among white and Black voters. The poll found more white voters, 51%, support replacing the department, while just 42% of Black voters support the measure.

As part of the survey, Minneapolis voters were also asked to weigh in on whether or not they think the city should reduce the overall size of its police force. Citywide, just 29% of voters said they should, 55% said they shouldn't, and 16% weren't sure.

More white voters support reducing the size of the force than Black voters, but there wasn't a majority among either demographic, 33% compared to 14%.

More women surveyed say crime has gone up (78%) than men (68%), and slightly more Black people (74%) agree than white people (71%).

Lmao anyone remember all the times we’ve been told “defund the police doesn’t mean we are getting rid of the police”.

Now they will be “dismantling” their police department. I guess defund the police meant exactly what we thought

I was trying to locate the segment on Martha MacCallum where blacks in the city have started calling white progressives white supremists for wanting to defund the police. What is one way to ensure chaos in a city? Take away law enforcement. Who were prominent in stirring up violence last summer? Clearly a lot of people but it sounds like the average black citizen in the neighborhood doesn't want to defund the police.

It would be interesting to see what happens if they did get rid of the police. What mechanism would be used to enforce anything? Are they trying to pull a sleight of hand and get the sheriff's department to it (if that is possible, not familiar with Minnesota law enforcement jurisdiction)?

I'd like to see it. I expect it to be a disaster, but hey! What if it works? The problem is this, however, if it winds up a crap show. The liberals will switch to 'it had some success (no), we learned a lot (they didn't) and can implement it better next time (they can't).' Same sad song as those currently espousing socialism are all in chorus singing.

What did the police do wrong here exactly? This guy violated city policy and had tried to kill himself twice before in his life. He was unstable and typical activist mentally ill type. The media outed him and he was suspended and killed himself.
