In the midst of all the details of these incidents, I’m still confused on when it became okay for people to interfere in an active law enforcement scene.

Apparently, the BORTAC agents were still wearing body cameras. [Hidden Content]

True on both counts. This one is different than Good, or the Venezuelans in Portland. I wish they weren’t being lumped together. Each of the 3 instances are as different as night and day.

Said it’s a replay of the failed Marxist takeover in the 70’s. People involved in that are the current tenured professors. Still probably sore that Reagan killed their movement. They gave up their idealism for success in a capitalist society. I wonder if Don Henley is involved somehow?

Outside of the inner Twin Cities, people have a different view. Seems like a much more reasonable view. Between this article and the article I posted earlier about the rural Minnesota sheriff’s, it’s clear that urban Minneapolis/St. Paul is much different than the rest of the State. [Hidden Content]

To me, there’s a big difference between peaceful assembly, petitioning your government, and civil disobedience. The Constitution protects the first two. Not the last. Even the first two are limited—according to SCOTUS rulings.

Even when you’re not just talking to yourself, you still confuse me.

I really don’t think the radical left realizes what they’ve unleashed. They’ve now set up basically an underground syndicate that—right now—is harassing/impeding immigration enforcement. Now that the groups know the tactics, they’re just as likely to turn on their own in a similar fashion if they don’t vote the way these groups desire. Then, we’ll hear screaming about political intimidation about the same people they’re egging on now.

Not commenting on the latest shooting at this time. @bullets13 pretty well covered my personal view. But, this is an interesting bit of info—for whatever it’s worth. Take it as you will. Will be interesting to follow and see if anything comes out of it. [Hidden Content] Does anyone know if the firearm was a Glock with no safety?

Not sure what you think I'm like. But, I can guarantee you that communism won't improve your station in life, or remedy government overreach.

For those not old enough to remember, the Marxists used college professors, college students, other young people, and liberal white women in an attempt to fundamentally change the U.S. into a socialist/communist country. Violent protests, the Weather Underground, and the Black Liberation Army were the tools of the trade. There was an unpopular POTUS, and the Vietnam War. Every major uprising in this country has been fueled by the radical left. They failed in the 70's. They're back to take another crack at it with the same stooges.

I posted the updated 2004 agreement earlier in this thread. It’s the latest, in effect agreement. It really doesn’t matter what NATO agreed to in principle. The agreement will be between Greenland, Denmark, and the U.S.—IF there is a new one. To me, that’s debatable until I actually see it.

Am I the only one having flashbacks to the ‘70’s?

Maybe. Either way, it wouldn’t matter if the initial exterior door was locked. I just don’t believe law enforcement should shoulder all the blame. The first failure lies with the ISD.

You may be correct from a totality aspect. The scary part is, I don't think they can put a number on it. The scarier part is, I don't think they want to...

Bessent says up to 10% of the yearly U.S. budget every year. GAO link with numbers and charts of breakdowns in programs is below. [Hidden Content] [Hidden Content] Greenland access/use is very important from a kinetic standpoint. But, THIS is just as big if not bigger.

According to the investigation, the exterior door was unlocked/broken. Apparently, it--and many other doors--could only be locked from the exterior. Great security measure. smh... These, and multiple other issues were found and reported to the ISD in multiple security walk-thru's, including one very close to the day of the tragedy. But, no school/ISD personnel have been prosecuted.

‘Some form of crisis is almost inevitable’: The $38 trillion national debt will soon be growing faster than the U.S. economy itself, watchdog warns The United States national debt has reached a precarious milestone, hitting 100% of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and placing the nation on a trajectory that could trigger six distinct types of fiscal crises, according to an ominous new warning issued Thursday by the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget (CRFB). [Hidden Content] But sure...let's not consider it a national security issue...

Longstanding lock issues The new records also show that school administrators had been aware of longstanding issues with locks on campus doors. Multiple witnesses told the legislative panel that employees often left doors unlocked, while teachers would use rocks, wedges and magnets to prop open interior and exterior doors. The shooter was able to enter the school through an unlocked exterior door, according to the legislative investigation. [Hidden Content] No ISD official was ever held responsible other than the ISD Police Chief—who awaits trial. The first line of defense was a known problem to administrators and staff.

Back to Greenland. Reporting mentions ‘Right of First Refusal’, autonomous military authority in specific zones/areas, veto power over allowing Russia and/or China access, mineral rights… Trump’s even calling Greenland a ‘useless piece of ice’ in Davos. Geez… Pretty sure I just posted this (with almost exact phrasing) before his speech. Haven’t worked in any capacity for Uncle in a long time. But, between the Venezuelan issue and this, I’m beginning to think I need to check my communication connections again.

Seemed like a scapegoat case all along. The Superintendent/Principal/Maintenance Supervisor of the school was more responsible by not fixing a door lock they’d been notified was faulty long in advance. I don’t remember if anyone in the ISD was ever held responsible or not.

I’m all for national defense. Part of that equation is the national debt. Regardless of where it came from, debt is debt. As Trump wants the defense budget ramped up to $1.5 Trillion, we go further and deeper. It WILL be a cudgel. There are already rumblings from what I’ve read about debt buying caution from foreign institutions. There are multiple better ways to handle the Greenland situation without buying it. Hopefully, they’ve settled on one of these autonomous lease zones and other rights for defense type arrangements. Let Denmark keep paying the welfare.

You’re missing the point that Greenland is pretty much a worthless piece of ice for the foreseeable future that you’d be paying a heck of a lot for, with a guarantee of forever welfare for the people, and gain nothing you don’t already have when you’re already over $38 Trillion in debt.
