| MPD, circa 2021. |
Go to Divemedic's blog.
Read that entire post, and watch the videos. He tells this in exquisite detail.
This is not "bad tactics", however. It's institutional insanity.
This is where the former judicial system of the Royal Navy should take precedence:
Those officers - the entire convoy - should be rounded up, fired en masse, and horse-whipped to bloody shreds for no less than 24 hours apiece, regardless of whether they die at any point, with the punishers - from their own department, no less - working in batches lest they tire (defaulters and shirkers to be placed in with the culprits), in the city square in front of the courthouse, televised live citywide, with every off-duty officer in that county, and the families and children of the culprits, including any child over the age of 5, mandatorily present to witness the event until it's over. Any survivors to be subsequently pilloried in front of City Hall for 30 days and nights, untreated and unguarded.
Then the entire surviving MPD left afterwards should be required to knock at the door of every residence, and sincerely and personally apologize to every citizen of the city, until they're done.
And the chief of police and every officer in their direct chain of command should be sentenced to 20 years for corruption, attempted murder, and criminal conspiracy, pour encourager les autres.
But as they won't be, every officer in the MPD that dies "in the line of duty" for the next century has it coming.
"A few bad apples" my aching ass. Fire them all, and start the prosecutions, for cause. Citizens there should be given full carte blanche to shoot at the MPD on sight, without prior warning, and all such incidents excused under all state and federal laws.
The MPD cure of "law enforcement" is worse than the disease of "crime". They're the problem, not the solution. And it didn't start yesterday, or last year.
This is why you defund the police: anarchy is a better government than Gestapo tyranny. And all but the most delusional and deranged copsuckers know it, not just here in the wake of multiple incidents, but in formerly polite and proper Canuckistan, after seeing the Mounties trampling unarmed grannies for sport, and down under in Ozshwitz, after watching their local gauleiters use the Oz polizei to throw people into COVID konzentrationslagers because they were Vaxx Juden.
If beating the hell out of random citizens trying to protect their businesses while the police go out shooting random people on "hunting trips" rather than arresting actual rioters is how your local fuzz respond during city-wide riots, the best thing you can do for public safety, and your own well-being, is shoot them all in the face, on sight. More and more, the worst of them are all but begging for exactly that sort of response, from Joe Average. Eventually, that's exactly what they're going to start getting.
A weak second-best would be to fire the entire department for cause, and start from scratch, trained by the state police under transparent full outside scrutiny, for the next 25 years, and only turn them loose when they get to where they can do it themselves without having their hands held, and without ever again getting accused of turning lose Brute Squads with official sanction.
Nazi Germany was not supposed to be an instruction manual.
And I wonder just how far up the chain and how wide laterally did it go? You know damned well a LOT of cops, and probably a politician or two, knew about the plans.
ReplyDeleteThis occurred 5 days after George Floyd died.
ReplyDeleteMinneapolis, where that Somali cop shot and killed that poor woman who called 911. The union supported this POS, and are still trying to get him freed.
ReplyDeleteI have fond memories of a contract I worked, where every time the engineering manager heard of a cop getting killed, he bought donuts for the staff, including contract workers. He hated cops with the fire of a 1000 suns...
I don't hate cops.
ReplyDeleteI hate criminals pretending to be cops.
Those guys should be keelhauled behind trucks, by the feet. At 20MPH, to the city limits. And left there.
The rotten apples and their go-along accomplices make it hard for the 10% that are good guys.
I thought that was some sort of Babylon Bee thing or LARPER skit. It took me 10mins of digging into it and then I had to Mentally Process what I was seeing.
ReplyDeleteWho the Hell in that Dept. Signed off on it and gave it the GO GO GO Greenlight?
That SOB needs to be Skinned Alive and Soaked in Alcohol while it’s LIVE Streamed.
I fall into the same category as you..
“ I don't hate cops.
I hate criminals pretending to be cops.”
And might I add, “That can’t Think for themselves”
And right on cue, a few sites that I visit have cutesy articles up about kindly police officers doing nice things. I like seeing nice news, but the obvious sucking up annoys the heqq out of me. The same sites also like to feature articles about kindly or heroic members of a certain minority group after other sites have noted more typical behavior.
ReplyDeleteThe manager in question lost a cousin(IIRC) to a mistaken address no-knock raid by some cops, who shot him without warning when they broke down his door at 0-dark thirty. I agree, not all cops are bad. But the good ones don't even try to rein in the thugs.

ReplyDeleteAesop, you missed including the prosecuting attorney. Who had access to = saw the vids. And still attempted lawfare. He and his ilk serve as the enablers. He is the one most needing to make restitution from his own, not his employers, resources.
Hey, whatever it takes to make sure they go home safely that night....
ReplyDeleteI am quite sure that the mayor and police chief didn't know about this in advance. They would have moved to stop it. It's a good question, though, as to when they knew, and what they knew, afterward.
ReplyDeleteI lived in Minneapolis for 23 years. I knew MPD cops. Most were fine, but a few had reputations, and a lot of nasty stuff went down that was hidden by other cops. Look up the case of Duey Ngo. He was a Hmong undercover cop who was working, assaulted by some guy he was trying to get a case on, and was injured. He called for help. Responding cops were told there was an undercover cop at the scene.
A MPD sergeant jumped out of his car. He saw Ngo on his knees, hands on his thighs, his weapons on the ground next to him. The sergeant shot him multiple times. Ngo survived. But the MPD rallied around the sergeant, spreading rumors to make it look like Ngo had done something wrong. He hadn't. That sergeant retired at full pay after no charges were filed.
The Somali cop who killed Justine Damond was different. The union has done the minimum required by the contract to support him. The union dues the cop paid get him that support. But no one on the force supported him. There's a reason there are no MPD Somali cops. Despite the best efforts of the Diversity and Inclusions, they cannot get the Somali recruits to pass the tests. The state knows this, which is why Attorney General Keith Ellison has never filed on the MPD for this issue.
In Minneapolis' 4th Precinct, the most vibrant, and where I used to live, there are supposed to be 10 cops patrolling. Often there is one, now. And if he's responding to a body in the street, there's no one patrolling.
That they didn't know about it in advance is just as damning, if not more so.
ReplyDeleteThe captain of the ship is responsible for everything that happens - or fails to happen - within his command. So too mayors and police chiefs.
"I didn't know" isn't any excuse, just a symptom of the problem, and why it exists in the first place.
A company president took a newly hired junior executive on a tour of the plant one day.
Pres.: "Over 4000 people work here every day, son."
J.E. : "Wow! So many! I wonder what they all do..."
Pres.: " I know what every one of them does, every day. If you hope to rise in this company, you'd better know what your people are doing too."
The buck stops here."
People keep saying "A few bad apples".
ReplyDeleteRemember that the saying goes "A few bad apples spoil the whole barrel".
The whole thing is rotten BECAUSE of the "few bad apples".
Fire them all, and then send them to jail. Including the prosecutor.
ReplyDeleteA little more information on some of the comments.
ReplyDeleteOfficer Duy Ngo was shot by an MPD Officer with a Full Auto MP-5. Then he was shunned by the department, the city, and the state. Duy committed suicide in 2010.
=====================
The Gun Convoy. This was a few days after the worthless sh!thead MN Democrat Governor Walz finally sent in the National Guard after four 4 FOUR!!! F**ing days of riots, looting and arson. If he would have sent it in after the FIRST NIGHT? Then about a Half Billion Dollars in destruction would have been avoided. It was amazing how 12,000 Guard and police stopped all the rioting, all the looting, all the arson. Yes, they still protested. But they were PEACEFUL PROTESTS. It was PEACEFUL, so the MPD decided to escalate things by getting some stupid payback.
That convoy was given the job of getting a little street justice, AND it was supposed to remind the poor people in Minneapolis that the MPD was back, and the MPD were going to kick their asses. Sort of like an enemy occupation army would?
