Views are mine.
He should be fired, and their equipment budget should be audited or clipped. There's no need for weapons of war or camouflage DoD hand-me-downs in this city.

It's almost like our police officers shouldn't have weapons and tools of war if their mission is to serve and protect.

SPPD has been successful because it leaned away from those things. It wasn't like MPD with police beatings and crowd agitation.

And here we are. Twin Cities, once again.

Honestly, you're right about St. Paul PD doing the right thing most of the time. There's a reason why they've had so much success in lowering the local crime rate.

But then why do they need this tactical gear. What purpose does it serve us? You don't need gear like that to solve a homicide.

You have the power to write their budget: take their tools away. They don't need training from foreign agencies, they don't need military equipment, and they don't need face masks.

Honestly, if they're not wearing a badge they shouldn't get paid. I couldn't get away with that at my job.

This isn't work that this White House has done in the last few days.

This is the result of the war on terror that has been waged since you and I were children watching 9/11 on in school tube TV's.

SPPD is wearing camouflage gear from the DoD. It's for war. And now the war is on us.

I wonder what the justification is for suppressors on their service weapons when they can't even wear their badges.

Meanwhile our shelter workers forgo masks because ICE ghouls wear them now.

They're cowards and will snatch our neighbors and little ones away until the America we loved is gone.

He made it to the end.

If you're able to make it, you should ask them why their service weapons have fancy suppressor cans on them when they can't even show their badges.

Don't worry, some of their badge numbers were read off at city hall this evening. Just... too few.

And we're all better for it. Though we do deserve to try your chocolate 😂

Happy to call the national guard on demonstrators; afraid to call a reporter about ICE.
