We need leaders who will fight crime and racism, leaders who will support the police but have zero tolerance for racism in policing.
Too many of these politicians don''t get it. Race baiting is as destructive as defunding the police.

There may be no more racist police officers than there are racist professors (I've dealt with a few here), but in both cases racists need to get fired. There is no "freedom" to be a racist and keep a job. People who don't get that do not understand the rule of law.
As for the DFL, too many politicians knew about racial profiling in policing and did nothing and said nothing about it. One former City Council member, a lawyer, even admitted it on the record in Falcon Heights in 2016 (minutes, pg.6).

Not doing your job and then blaming "White privilege" for your own failure is race baiting 101. Government officials who see something need to say something and do something. No excuses.
We need to reform policing and also spend public money on important social services besides the police, but "defund the police" is a really stupid slogan for police reform. I wouldn't be surprised if the person who first suggested that was really working for the GOP.
Between the former Falcon Heights City Council member who admitted to knowing about racial profiling but saying and doing nothing about it while blaming her "White privilege," and GOP ties to the police union, we know how this disaster happened. We need leaders in Minnesota.
