Armed neighborhood groups forming in Minneapolis

An interesting read on Armed neighborhood groups forming in Minneapolis

It basically talks about armed neighborhood people (latinos in this article) defending their businesses and communities from the looting that we were seeing the past week or so. It just made me think of the other stories we heard happening in chicago and new york too with other groups of latinos, of course those latter groups werent as organised as what we see forming in minneapolis. but it made me think with police being disbanded will we see more stories like these?

Post announcement of police defunding sees increase in people taking matters in their own hands:

I can't blame them. Family safety comes first.

Cannot actually fathom that disbanding the police was a legitimate discussion

 

[AbdiGeedi]

Defunding and disbanding are two different things.

Good on them the police in the west are too busy kneeling for BLM and not actually doing their jobs protecting businesses from looters.

@kurobecky08
Anybody want competing private security compsnies with no qualified immunity? BLM and anarchocapitalists/libertarians and small government conservatives can work together on police reform

Hopefully Somalis are part of that too.

There are people who are trying to spin the weakening of the police as a good thing. Getting rid of law and order is a Marxist agenda. I live in a super leftist area (for now) and I've seen the same agenda to get rid of law and order since before I'd ever heard of Coronavirus...... they were already pushing to get rid of law and order..... they want to turn society chaotic. Then presumably to bring some sort of "order out of chaos".

My Native American friend sent me some pictures of her and her brothers patrolling their neighborhood. They were strapped up. Sad it had to come to this.

They already have previously, In fact the national guard approached them and they explained that they were safeguarding their residential area. Both came to an understanding and the national guard left.

Interesting you say that because it states in the article that these guys partnered up with native bikers from the red lake nation across the street from them. Your friend could've be one of them or possibly knows them.

Im sure she does. The natives all know each other.
