"He might have broken the law, but he did all the correct, trendy things"

 A PJ Media article discussing a ruling in Minnesota regarding the staffing of sworn police officers in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The city charter there requires the city to have a certain level of staffing according to the population so the staffing should be at 731 police officers.

Of course as you know perhaps a year after the devastating riots in the wake of George Floyd's death there was an attempt to change the Minneapolis city charter which was thankfully denied by voters. Bear in mind many activists there wanted to abolish the police department and create a dept. of public safety. They wanted to reimagine policing. It's only mentioned in this article that Minneapolis fell in for the defund police craze.

They also mention the mayor Jacob Frey kneeling and weeping at the casket of George Floyd described as "a drug-addled drifter who was stopped by police outside a store where the owner claimed he and his cohorts were passing fake $20 bills. Floyd was under the influence of fentanyl and meth, a heart-slowing cocktail of drugs, which was exacerbated by Officer Derek Chauvin holding Floyd down with his knee." And he was effectively rejected in his efforts to curry favor with defund police and BLM activists in a humiliating scene recorded by anything from a news camera to smartphone cameras.

Of course when you place greater scrutiny on police or you keep police from doing their jobs in serving and protecting the police (though in fact insuring that for criminals there are immediate consequences for their actions), then what happens, more crime. Which brought about this lawsuit in Minneapolis which ruled that the City of Minneapolis must insure the appropriate staffing of police or explain why they are unable to do so.

Sadly we are still suffering the consequences of the disruption of over two years ago. Following the trend of "wokeness" from that period of time. Buying into the new trendy terms of "systemic racism" or even "evil whiteness". To be honest no one can define these two things, in my opinion.
