21 cops were hurt, one of them with a fractured spine as a result of a cinder block being dropped on his head.
So of the 102 arrested, about half were cited and released. 46 were charged today with 3rd degree riot.
I bring you their mug shots. You know, of the Black Lives Matter protesters. In Minnesota.
Wrench I never realized you were from Minnesota. Where at? My family is Minnesota royalty!
LarryLaffer, I was a little light at 75% white people at MN BLM rallies.
That's the new thing they're doing -- shutting down freeways.
It happened in Inglewood (near Los Angeles) yesterday, and happened in Oakland a few days before that. In fact, the Oakland one took awhile to clear, and everyone on the freeway was trapped.
There need to be new laws immediately creating a felony out of intentionally impeding traffic on a public roadway, and then start arresting people for it. That will stop this nonsense quickly.
Dude! Most of those folks in the mugshot pics ARE black. It's just that Minnesota hardly gets any sun being so far north that most black folk there lose most of their amazing tans.Quote:

Not to mention the hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars it can collectively cost people in various ways if the freeway is stopped (and drivers are trapped there) for long enough.
If I steal a $700 laptop from Best Buy, it's a felony.
This is much, much worse.
young dangiel tucking a laptop into the back of his oversized outlet polo at best buy would be incredible surveillance footage
tbone i dont ask alot can you make this happen
Only a matter of time before someone dies as a direct result of one of these freeway shutdowns, the scenarios are easy to come up with.
Ambulance with critical patient can't get to hospital in time, patient dies. Protesters start the march on a blind corner of the freeway, semi doesn't see them in time, kills a dozen on his way through (go get em mumbles). Semi plows into minivan with a family of 6 inside, didn't see the minivan stopping for protesters, all 6 die. Pissed off motorist at the front of the backup starts honking his horn, protesters decide to go Reginald Denny on him. Or flip his car over, his convertible roof doesn't hold up, breaks his neck and dies, etc etc etc.
TBH, charging a felony on these shutdowns seems excessive, but how much does it cost to get the freeway going again? I'd guess thousands of dollars in PD/Highway Patrol man hours, and if an accident like I mentioned before happens, well we're in felony $$ amount territory.
I'm all for being able to protest. Just do it the right way. Get a permit, demonstrate peacefully in a public area that doesn't affect the infrastructure, and go nuts. The news will be there, guaranteed, even if you held it in an obscure spot. Shutting down freeways, light rail, or police stations is asking for trouble. I'm guessing a felony charge for folks who shut down freeways will put an end to it quickly.
WRENCH JOCKEYS PARAGRAPH GAME ON FLEEK
I agree with druff these assholes can't be shutting down major highways.Felony is lol but they should be slapped with min of 40 hours community service and a big fine.
Absolutely not. Fuck that noise. Jail time.Quote:

Ok if you say so daly, give them jail time, fuck em.See how much black lives matter to the white people protesting when they end up in the county lock-up fuck of shines and get their asses kicked and have their shoes stolen. Their tune might change a bit.

Bullshit. I almost never post anything about sports bets, as well as in Tine's numerous TV show threads. Nor in the threads about long ago wayward heros from the NWP days.Quote:

Plus, if you think I really believe what I wrote in that thread, I have a bridge you might be interesting in buying. Even better than that one everyone else tries to sell. Here's an artist's depiction:
Easiest and most effective solution: Black cops in black neighborhoods.
I keep running into this suggestion.
