Baker Boy 1,485 Posted June 25, 2020 Minneapolis neighborhood that vowed not to call police in wake of Floyd death is already being tested by 300-strong homeless encampment A progressive Minneapolis neighborhood that pledged not to call the police in the wake of the death of George Floyd is now dealing with a 300-strong homeless encampment in a local park, according to reports. Traffic has reportedly increased in the neighborhood around Powderhorn Park, as drug dealers seek to meet their clientele displaced during the civil unrest, rioting and looting following Floyd’s death at the end of May. At least one person overdosed inside the park and was brought out by an ambulance. Prostitution has also been reported in the area. Residents though have agreed to “check their privilege” and “protect people of color” by not involving law enforcement to report instances of property damage If anyone is put in physical danger, they instead vowed to seek help from the American Indian Movement, which was founded in Minneapolis in 1968 to address systemic issues of poverty and police brutality against Native Americans and has been policing their own communities for years. Keeping the promise not to call the police has proven more difficult than imagined, as some residents have avoided the park altogether after being catcalled and are fearing for their children’s safety. Others said they had trouble sleeping at night, fearing campers would force their way into their homes. “I’m not being judgmental,” Carrie Nightshade, 44, told the Times, explaining she no longer allows her children, 12 and 9, to play in the park by themselves. “It’s not personal. It’s just not safe. Another resident, Mitchell Erickson, said he regretted calling 911 when two black teenagers cornered him a block away from his home, held a gun to his chest and demanded his car keys. Erickson said he mistakenly handed over his house keys, and the frustrated teens left him only to steal another car a few blocks away. “Been thinking more about it,” Erickson said in a text message to a reporter. “I regret calling the police. It was my instinct but I wish it hadn’t been. I put those boys in danger of death by calling the cops.” https://www.foxnews.com/us/minneapolis-powderhorn-park-neighborhood-progressive-sworn-off-police-911-george-floyd 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Utilit99 4,099 Posted June 25, 2020 So, let me get this straight. Black and some white people are outraged against white "racists" who think black people are violent and so want nothing to do with them because they are black, yet, now this person won't take her kids to the park because there are homeless there. So violent black people are worth fighting for, but homeless are, eeewwww? Too dangerous. I mean, it's nothing personal.

I already gave you the example of Russia in 1917. Roving commie gangs would go around nice areas of town, bust down the doors of people living there, grab the residents and drag them out to the backyard and shoot them in the head. All the while, the residents were absolutely bewildered as they were gunned down in cold blood, trying to plead that they were on the side of the revolution. This has all happened before.

I'm sure they deal with it. In Chicago winters downtown, homeless still flood the streets even when it's 10 degrees outside. Of course, they may be fake homeless looking for pity and handouts like they do in Detroit. Sometimes it's hard to tell the truly homeless from the capitalists beggars who do it for a living.

FlyinHeadlock 459 Posted June 26, 2020 Some of the residents do care but it's not a high income area so public officials ignore them. It's unfortunate but that's how it works. Want action it takes high dollar campaign contributions and strong voting power. They have neither. I live right on the edge of a very wealthy area. They don't put up with any bs around here. If the residents want something they get it swiftly or without much pushback. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
