This Gaurdian article blames all the problems with the Minneapolis police force on the pro-Trump union leader.

theguardian.com/us-news/2020/j…
Here’s the thing. Following the death of George Floyd changes have been implemented to outlaw choke holds.

“The City of Minneapolis agreed to implement structural changes and joined the Minnesota Department of Human Rights in submitting the court order.”

Now the “City of Minneapolis” is run by Democrats. The Mayor appoint the Police Chief. So if these changes were possible and the city leadership has known for years they were necessary then why did they wait until now to do something about it?
There is no doubt, the use of this dangerous technique wasn’t something Derek Chauvin did of his own creation. It was listed in the use of farce manual, trained by the police department and disproportionately used against the black community.

And Democrats did nothing about it.

“[Minneapolis] policy doesn't appear to reflect what California and other law enforcement agencies using best practices recognize, which is if officers don't use extreme caution with this force option, the likelihood of serious injury or death rises significantly," Obayashi said.
"This seems to be a routine practice by the Minneapolis Police Department," said Obayashi. "As a cop, the tone is there, 'Use it when you think it's appropriate.'"
Shawn Williams...worked at the Minneapolis Police Department for more than 10 years and oversaw training his last two years there, including the use of unconscious neck restraints. He said he understands why other departments do not use the maneuver.

If I say that Republicans are the party that defeated slavery, progressives say sure but the parties flipped 50 years ago and now the Republicans are the party of racism. 1/3
I then say well it’s Democrats that have run the cities with the most racist policies for the last fifty years and progressives say well the thing is systemic racism goes back to the founding. 2/3
It’s all contrived to make the left the heroes and ensure that blacks continue to give Democrats 90% of their votes even if they do nothing to interrupt the racism that they say is a Republican problem. 3/3

Rosenstein just testified under oath that McCabe lied to him and lacked candor meaning he hid what he knew that would have resulted in Rosenstein making different decisions.

Why did McCabe do that?
Effectively, McCabe did to Rosenstein the same thing but in an opposite direction to what Comey did to Lynch that was the basis for Rosenstein advising Trump to fire Comey.

He usurped the AG on the conclusion that any reasonable prosecutor would pursue an investigation of Trump.
People want to blame Rosenstein for not knowing things that were withheld from him.

We think we are geniuses because we now know the exculpatory evidence but McCabe handicapped Rosenstein. His lack of candor, like so much of the CH investigation, is hard to explain as a mistake.
