  1. Breaking: Charges upgraded to murder 2. Other 3 officers on scene charged with aid and abetting murder 2. Presser later this afternoon.
  2. The GOP brought their clown show to St Paul in 2008, hoping that it would be the deciding factor in Minnesota's 10 EVs and the razor-thin Senate race between Norm Coleman and Al Franken (the one that went to a recount). It didn't work.
  3. For their part, the Minneapolis City Council seems ready to put MPD's shit on blast.
  4. The other 3 cops have yet to be charged. Per Hennepin County Attorney Mike Freeman, 4 days (Monday afternoon through the arrest Friday) is the fastest his office had ever charged a police officer. AG Keith Ellison has taken the lead on the investigation.
  5. Could Minnesota go for a Republican? Sure. Will they have to burn the party down, flush out anything that has to do with Trump, and start over from scratch before they do? Yes. Tim Walz has built up a lot of support during the COVID-19 pandemic. Last Monday he was in the upper 60s for approval. I will be very interested to see what happens to that after there riots. For a data point, the last Republican statewide win was Tim Pawlenty's second election in 2006. He got 1.028M votes, which was 46.7% of votes cast. There was also a 3rd party candidate in the race that drew 6% and change, mostly from the Dem column.
  6. In an avalanche of shit, occasionally there's a pearl.
  7. Calling Bob Kroll shit is an insult to shit. For those of you who don't know of his long and sordid history, City Pages has gladly put it all together for you.
  8. Bob Kroll and the MPD union finally break a week of radio silence. File this under T for tone deaf.
  9. Many reports of staged accelerants in alleys, garbage cans, even abandoned snowblowers.
  10. For a road that had been closed for almost an hour before this, how the fuck did this truck get anywhere near the protest?
  11. Curfews tonight in both Minneapolis and St. Paul, 8 PM to 6 AM.
  12. In Minnesota 1st degree murder has to come from the grand jury. I'm not a lawyer, but looking at the statue it's a long way to get to murder 1. https://www.revisor.mn.gov/statutes/cite/609.185 Second degree murder statute: https://www.revisor.mn.gov/statutes/cite/609.19
  13. I only heard in the presser that the killer was in custody, and the investigation is ongoing on the other 3.
  14. That's an MPD squad pepper spraying everyone.
  15. A very strange part of this is that no one has heard so much as a peep from Bob Kroll and the police union. Normally he's out in front of the camera, talking trash and trying to negotiate through the media.
  16. One of my professors from the U of M is doing research on that here in Minnesota. I agree, this is good stuff.
  17. The latest entry into the "Play stupid games, win stupid prizes" file. The owner vowed to open this morning, and was rather braggadocio about it.
  18. Also, the cutoff for a special election in North Carolina is September 3. If Burr is forced to resign prior to that, that seat will have a special election on the November ballot. If not, his replacement serves out the rest of the term.
  19. He kept knocking, and St Peter finally let him in
  20. Nope, this is RFK's grandson. The crazy anti-vaxxer is from Louisiana.
  21. TPC, maybe FLR? Most big construction outfits that I know of are privately held.
  22. If you're buying what that video is selling, I've got some oceanfront property in Arizona for you.
