@mpd4591 I can only go by what I see. Minneapolis police are high stung, unprofessional, angry and have mental disorders. Sounds like you are one!
Go get the help you need! You don’t sound fit to wear a badge.

MPD hired 25 of your more professional cops. 10 are now in prison and 12 more were fired for misconduct. There are only 2 even left on the job. You are a moron.

people were not …
people were not born to live this way. US citizens are born slaves. we are supposed to be able to build our own homes on FREE God given land…but no, the gov OWNS those land. citizens are forced to slave away to pay mortgage and other bills day by day…and yet the land still belongs to the gov even when home is payed off. its all about C.O.N.T.R.O.L …US citizens you may not be as free as you think, but at least youre not suffering like some nations (poverty and starvation in Africa)

WHen you have a …
WHen you have a group of protesters that are increasingly unruly (like getting too close or even breaching the police tape line, the use of pepper spray can be a good way to use the least amount of force. Grabbing people in twist locks or arm bars etc…would be a bit more violent and unecessary IMO.

It just amazes me …
It just amazes me how the ultra rich and the banks get Law Enforcement to do the dirty work. In CA, the County Sheriff is in charge of evictions and I’m glad for that. I can’t imagine how awkward MPD must feel.

ha ha ha ha listen …
ha ha ha ha listen to the cops and they will not spray you… Smart people know that

The police dont …
The police dont want to be involved in crap like evictions but we have jobs to do unlike most of the people that are there to protest. The best way for you socially concious people to protect your fellow man is to fill out an application and join your local police force, that way you can make a real difference. You will also see that the police are just regular people, usually your neighbors, trying to do a tough job. And, you get to pepper spray dirty hippies. Its all fun stuff.

I used to live in …
I used to live in the city of Detroit and with the bad reputation Detroit has, their police are infinitely more professional and psychologically healthy than the that the city of Minneapolis accepts into their force.
I know professionals within the dept and they have stated they’ve seen they’ve never seen in any other department. Psychological disorders are commonplace in the force.

it doesnt matter if they were mourning anyone that day. they are supposed to absolutely neutral when it comes to things like that. they arent supposed to let their emotion get in the way of logic, thats how people get killed.

if you actually …
if you actually paid attention to the video, you wouldve noticed that they werent laying on the sidewalk because they wanted to, the cops were pushing them down onto their backs and stomachs, and kicking them if they tried to get up.

Cops(pigs) = private security for the rich.
Not a testicle among them except for maybe the female cop.

I dont think he did. But then again, whenever an officer gets outta line, the send em on vacation. They place em “Off Duty W Pay - pending the investigation” & when they’re done kissing up to him the out come usually is “Cleared of no wrong doing” Its sickening.

Mace should only be …
Mace should only be used where an offender presents a physical risk to officers or the public. What the morbidly obese officer did constitutes assault as it is plain to see that the protester no physical risk to anyone.
Actions such as those need to be challenged. Was that police officer charged with anything?
January 31st, 2010 at 3:22 pm
law enforcement?
…
law enforcement?
All I see are numerous and flagrant VIOLATIONS OF THE LAW and gross negligence on the part of officers who obviously dont deserve to be in a position of public trust.

A couple of things …
A couple of things for perspective. Rosemary had already been evicted–she returned to the house, which the courts ruled belonged to someone else–and the new owner (the bank) wanted her removed.
The cops were wearing mourning bands because they were honoring an officer who was shot and killed protecting a woman and child . His funeral was the same day.
I live on the block. Sorry to see Rosemary go. Glad the people making her a cause are gone.

Cops be damned to for the bull—-! Up and Out we had the same problem back in the mid 80’s when trying to fight for housing! Rybak sucks tit off the big banks and mortgage people along with Bush who sucks the c— of those big banks and mortgage people also.
