Hate to tell you, but my post received quite a few "reputation" points. Actually, I just decided not to waste time and effort responding to the cognitive dissonance and denial evident in most of the posts here. But I do have this for you:

I think Liz Collin, wife of former police union head Bob Kroll (of note: many in Minneapolis like to add a few extra K's in front of his last name, including former MPD), worked with one of the least reputable far-right news sources (Alpha) to produce a trash documentary intended to justify the lynching of a black man in broad daylight by Minneapolis police. Got any more questions?

Blah blah blah, I attacked a city for a self-inflicted problem and was put in my place, but I didn't like it and so I'm going to go crawl back into my troll hole rather than address the backlash, oh and here is some more right-wing trash blah blah.

7 people shot last night in Minneapolis. Too bad none of you can focus on any kind of problems, all you do is blow smoke up each other's backsides.

And four people were killed in Dallas yesterday. Any other random crime statistics you'd like to exchange?

Nobody says Minneapolis doesn't have problems. Every major city does. What does bitching about getting a legitimate parking ticket have to do with the scourge of American society that is gun violence?

Another murder in the violent suburb of Edina.

Clearly, Edina is no longer a desirable place to live anymore. (Eyeroll)

"Lynching" is mob action; Floyd's death in no way resembled it. Careless use of words does not advance understanding or healing.

Yeah, it's clearly the terminology that is the problem. Well spotted.

A smart man would stay away from any major city whenever possible.
