Minnesota Police Chief Resigns After Reporters' Rebuke For Calling Riot A "Riot" https://www.zerohedge.com/poli...ef-not-use-term-riot The Minnesota police officer who shot and killed a Black man Sunday during a traffic stop, along with the Police Chief who supervised her and the department, have both resigned Tuesday after nights of rioting and looting rocked their community in the wake of the state's latest officer-involved shooting.

Any bets the mayor might have had a little to do with this too? Call a "riot" a riot or not fire the officer until she gets her due process; no matter how it's reported to the press, either way you end up out a job in Minneapolis. Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

‘Tis but thy name that is my enemy; Thou art thyself, though not a Montague. What’s Montague? It is nor hand, nor foot, Nor arm, nor face, nor any other part Belonging to a man. O, be some other name! What’s in a name? That which we call a rose By any other name would smell as sweet; So Romeo would, were he not Romeo call’d, Retain that dear perfection which he owes Without that title. Romeo, doff thy name, And for that name which is no part of thee Take all myself. - a guy named Bill | |||

IMO, that chief has behaved like the picture of integrity and transparency in the midst of an administrator's worst nightmare. I'm sorry to see him lose his job over this, but I imagine it was inevitable. I also saw that the mayor fired the city manager because the city manager made a statement to the effect that they had to follow due process in disciplinary proceedings for the officer. I would have thought that would be a given, but apparently these days it's not . https://www.foxnews.com/politi...ocess-police-officer | |||

Tides turn. Never forget those who created this mess. Give them their due without mercy when the tides favor us. While we don’t name shooters and give them the glory they seek, perhaps we should always name the mayors et al so that we can remember their rightful place once they have fallen from Grace and keep them there.

I know the comment was sardonic. Media doesn’t need to be appeased. They are a service. What might be good is “news service” needs to get certified and have some oath regarding integrity, factual, unbiased. Like a Hippocratic oath. People should be fired and the service fined heavily for violations. All others, like CNN, don’t get to use “news” as part of their name - rather they must identify themselves as opinion, propaganda or entertainment providers.

The linguistic word games and narrative shaping on full-display. Wish there was a camera pointed at these 'reporters' to everyone who these supposed 'reporters' are and to visual show their righteous indignation and fury at this police chief, as he attempts to answer loaded and leading questions. | |||

Yet this chief learned nothing from the fast four years in dealing with the media. You don't play nice with them, you don't take their crap, and when they inevitably attack, you return fire with both barrels. This guy rolled over to the mob and media and as such, was discarded. ----------------------------- Guns are awesome because they shoot solid lead freedom. Every man should have several guns.

Sheriff Grady Judd he was not. However, how would being fired affect his retirement instead of resigning? I suspect he didn't have a much of a choice. The City Council fired the City Manager as well: According to the Star Tribune, at least one city council member voted to oust Boganey from the job he’s held since 2006 not because he had done a bad job, or because he’d done anything wrong, but “because she feared for her property and retaliation by protestors if she had voted to keep him.” “He was doing a great job. I respect him dearly,” Council Member Kris Lawrence-Anderson said, according to the Star Tribune. “I didn’t want repercussions at a personal level.” Link | |||

Well with that statement I would be surprised if the mob hasn't surrounded her house already. Fools, fools and more fools. "Fixed fortifications are monuments to mans stupidity" - George S. Patton | |||

Well, they have an unfortunate screen name, but I couldn't possibly agree more with them. | |||

Lawyers, Guns and Money |
Media is a business. They lie to please an audience or an agenda. It's about the money, but for some it isn't JUST about the money. For some, it's about sucking up to power. "Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." -- Justice Janice Rogers Brown "The United States government is the largest criminal enterprise on earth." -rduckwor | |||

I guess the new chief can deal with the brain surgeon mayor: Let him/her go out on a few stops unarmed. “Facts are stubborn things; and whatever may be our wishes, our inclinations, or the dictates of our passions, they cannot alter the state of facts and evidence.” - John Adams | |||
