Better yet, how about just disarm the cops who, like Mohamed Noor, are only on the force to demonstrate Minneapolis’ commitment to “diversity,” rather than because they’re competent to be police officers?
Even better still, how about hire and fire cops based on merit, rather than for their value as trophy Muslims or Somalis on the force?
Nah — that would be “Islamophobic.”
“Minneapolis mayoral candidate Raymond Dehn proposes disarming cops in wake of Damond shooting,” News.com.au, July 29, 2017:
A CANDIDATE in the race for Minneapolis mayor has proposed disarming police officers in the wake of Justine Damond’s shooting.
The Australian woman was shot dead by police officer Mohamed Noor after calling 911 to report a suspected sexual assault.
“Officers don’t need to carry a gun on their person all the time,” said Raymond Dehn, one of the frontrunners in the mayoral race and who currently serves in the Minnesota House of Representatives.
“Currently, officers carry all sorts of assault weapons in their cars. So why can’t one of those weapons be the side arm (such as a baton that sits on a holster)? It’s important that we begin to have a conversation, and I would say that all things are on the table.”
“We live in a culture where guns are pervasive. Cops carrying guns is part of a larger conversation about guns in our society,” he said, according to the Star Tribune….

In another email I get the Star Tribune ( abbreviated-freebie) edition.
This paper is trying (my view) to be like the NYT or Washington Post of the region- opinions carried as articles. Before the election, they had an article (not an opinion) as to how Clinton would win most of the states-including traditionally Rep. states.
Back to this candidate.
I (if I had the misfortune to live in Minn.) would ask two questions ( to start).
1. DO YOU (AND BY EXTENSION) ANY MEMBER OF YOUR IMMEDIATE FAMILY CARRY?
2. WOULD YOU, IF ELECTED, (I DO NOT KNOW IF HE HAS NOW) GIVE UP HAVING ARMED SECURITY GUARDS.?
If the answer to the 2nd question is NO., THEN WHY SHOULD POLICE BE UNARMED? Why should the public not have the right to be armed to protect themselves from creeps (like Noor) ( and other Muslims, Somalis, and white crooks and robbers and murderers)?
Would like to see his answers.

T H Hubert says
My question is, How much stupidity and ignorance can one city stand, that is from people like Dehn? From one perspective, these people (in Minneapolis) deserve each other, but there are others who suffer from their PC insanity and self-righteousness.
Louis Schwartz says
T H Hubert: Mr. Dehn talks like a liberal Idiot. Notice how he frames his argument against the cops carrying firearms on their person, as part of the larger “Gun Control” Problem. As if the police are part of the “keep guns off the streets and out of the wrong hands” equation. Is this called “Moral Equivalence”? He poses a completely irrelevant thesis. Also, police having their side arms locked in the trunk of the police cruiser sounds like a recipe for disaster.Very convenient-Not. This guy has NO answers. Is he a Democrat, too?
mortimer says
Message to Raymond Dehn : “IT’S THE IDEOLOGY, STUPID!”
Johnny Cuyana says
mortimer, I agree with your sentiment, but, my advice [unless you live there]: forget about it.
Dehn KNOWS the situation PRECISELY … but he DOES NOT care because as a typical immoral and corrupt politician — which, based on his stated view in this matter, I am JUST assuming as obvious — he is WORKING FOR THE VOTES, while, in his extended view, the good pro-American citizens be damned.
The challenge for the good people in this mayoral region — the challenge which so often seems to be the case — is NOT immoral politicians such as this moron — there are 1000’s of them ready and willing to run for office — it’s that there are WAY TOO many of We The People, who, during the past several generations, have permitted ourselves to be DUPED via the govt schools, and, resultingly, can not tell the difference between a pro-freedom candidate and an in-your-face pro-law-breaking candidate. [read: too many of us have lost — or, simply surrendered — our basic sense of classically liberal critical thinking. Collectively, we ARE brainwashed.]
mortimer says
Ask Raymond Dehn if he wants police not to carry firearms when they are protecting HIM !
Raymond Dehn is a hypocrite. Police should carry firearms to defend POLITICIANS, but not to defend ordinary CITIZENS.
Raymond Dehn does not realize that there are thousands of militant jihadists in the US right now waiting for the order.
Lawrence Deans says
And he just might win too. Minnesota has a habit of electing nuts, like a WWF wrestler and a Saturday Nite Live comedian, for example.
mortimer says
Muslims are massively inbred for 50 generations.
Inbred Muslims suffer from INTERMITTENT EXPLOSIVE DISORDER (IED).
When you combine IED with the VIOLENT JIHAD IDEOLOGY and with GENOCIDAL SUPREMACISM… you have many people who are WALKING TIME BOMBS.
somehistory says
An IED….improvised explosive device fits the moslums such as noor…
He didn’t have a loaded gun with the authority to carry it anywhere, everywhere, all of the time…until he was given it by an inept city government.
City government improvising an explosive device by giving him a loaded weapon when he had no common sense and the unlawful teaching of islum to guide him in its proper use.
Combine the IED with the IED….and death to an innocent results.
Japetto Donatelli says
Removing guns from the hips of police doesn’t seem like a very sensible response to the problem of poor training. America is too gun violent to handicap the police further by relegating their defense tools to the trunk. Further, the less capable police are in confronting a deadly threat the more vulnerable we are too. Also, if police do end up in a situation that calls for a weapon they are no less likely to act poorly once they do get their gun. Put another way, having to run to the squad to retrieve their weapon does not guarantee cops will act any better than if it were on the hip. So the solution isn’t making the cops and public more vulnerable, the solution is better training.
I know there are good cops out there. But I also believe that a culture of abuse has developed in law enforcement against the average citizen, civil forfeiture abuses (Please look into this) are one example of how our constitutional rights are spit on. There has developed an “us against them mentality” and it’s causing problems on every level. I’ve lived in Mpls for 40+ years, I love this town. When I was young our whole family respected the police, my brother was a cop and worked with the FBI, now deceased. But now we’re afraid of the police, no joke. And I think for good reason. Muslim terrorism has been law enforcement’s excuse to treat us all like sh*t criminals. It’s time this ugly trend reverse itself and our rights and dignity be restored, for everyone’s sake. Don’t deny us our rights because muslims are waging jihad. That ain’t right.
Tom Saunders says
The type of training you contemplate only works on a willing mind. Applied to someone from a culture that assigns only tertiary value to human life/dignity it is almost worthless.
Japetto Donatelli says
The type of training you contemplate only works on a willing mind. Applied to someone from a culture that assigns only tertiary value to human life/dignity it is almost worthless.
Well I’m not that cynical about it. I don’t think police are fundamentally bad people (of course there are exceptions). I accept the conclusion of the Stanford Prison Experiment that suggested the cause of this type of abuse is more likely situational rather than intrinsic personality traits. And I think this extends to other areas of authority, too. Give people power over others with an excuse or opportunity to abuse, and you will see abuse. And that’s what we’re seeing now in society with law enforcement and certain government agencies. 9/11 has become their excuse to beat us down, spy on us illegally, humiliate us at public transportation, seriously abuse forfeiture laws, and destroy our free speech as hate speech. In the meantime muslims are pouring in and building mosques and waging every manner of jihad. We the people are being dhimmified for islam. This vile bullsh*t has to stop.
I think better training about ones own behavior is something we could all benefit from now and then. Police are no different, it’s way too easy to become a d*ckhead and not even know it. To me the police and other protection agencies have become d*ckheads and we’re all suffering for it.

Uh…right. And that’s why there was a Muslim on the force gunning down an Infidel. Try again…
That’s your conclusion, not mine. I’m simply addressing the larger problem of abuse in the new police state we live in post 9/11. Given the fact that nobody really knows why this “muslim” shot an unarmed woman I think I’m being rather objective and fair minded. It may have been because he’s a jihadist killing an infidel woman, or he maybe he screwed up because he’s unfit to be a cop, or maybe it’s another example of a cop brutalizing a citizen because they are drunk with power and recklessly out of control, I really don’t know. So I’m not making any assumptions as to why Noor shot this woman, even though you seem to think I am.
The conclusion I did offer is that the police are abusive and our rights are getting violated thanks to jihadi violence. I was also addressing the issue of cops not wearing guns, that’s what this thread was about. Hope I didn’t irk you too much by discussing the relevant issues. Adios.

Terry says
I have lived in New York City, southern Cal., Miami/Ft Lauderdale, FL and Tampa FL.
I (white male; over 6′; skinny) have been stopped by police in every area, once at gun point (not sure if the guns were rifles or shotguns)- did not much care, just wanted them put away. The stop was due to errors (mine and the owner of the vehicle). AT NO POINT-IN ANY OF THESE PLACES, INCLUDING WHEN STOPPED AT GUN POINT, WERE THE POLICE ABUSIVE; NASTY OR OBNOXIOUS NOT ( AFTER EXPLAINING THE ERROR) THREATENING.
The police have stressful job. The police explained what they did, and why- perfectly understandable. They, my view, heroes. NOT VILLAINS.
Donald R Laster Jr says
And then add in the constant attacks on police by the “Left”, and other groups, the stress is just added. They have to be careful and people like this Islamic should never be on the force.
Donald R Laster Jr says
Unfortunately, I suspect all of the items you listed are involved in this case. But I do suspect, from what I have read from various sources, is that incompetence and unfitness to be a police officer, and political correctness, are the primary causes.
Frank Anderson says
Donald, INCOMPETENCE is the very reason that affirmative action exists. People are selected for positions because they would not be selected otherwise due to their incompetence. Whether it is academic or employment opportunities, those who are competent are shoved to the back to make room for the incompetent. The failure of affirmative action over the last 50 plus years ought to prove that competence is not created by supporting incompetence.
Donald R Laster Jr says
Please don’t call what we have today Affirmative Action. Do some more research. Affirmative Action was created by businesses in the 1950 in California as part of reaching out to QUALIFIED minorities who would normally be ignored. If a Chinese, Mexican, or Black, applied for a job, instead of their application being put in the trash or ignored they were given a honest opportunity to get the job. They had to meet all of the qualification for the job and complete for the job based upon qualifications. Affirmative Action has not existed since the 1970s.
In the 1970s Blacks and their allies distorted Affirmative Actions into racial quotas and racially based double standards. Many Blacks apparently could not qualify for many of the jobs due to the non-racial standard for the jobs. They called these unconstitutional programs “Affirmative Action”.
A classic case of the failure of these quotas and double standards is the 1976 Boston Fire Department case. Two brothers took and failed a promotion test that required them to score 1100 (example score) and they score 1050. The next year they scored the same but due to circumstances they only needed to score 1000 and scored 1050. Someone noticed that the prior year they listed themselves as “White” and the second year as “Black”. They were charged with fraud and were found not guilty and keep their promotions. Why? One parent was White and the other Black.
The failure of quotas and double standards are apparent all through out the country.
Frank Anderson says
Donald, again we find ourselves in close agreement. Your historical accounts are quite correct. The current definition of “affirmative action” is truly Orwellian. The least qualified applicants get the positions while the most qualified walk the streets. And we pay for this! And we pay more! And then even more! Margaret Thatcher spoke correctly when she said that the problem with socialism is that sooner or later you run out of other people’s money to give away. Many are reaching the conclusion to stop working to feed parasites. I still chafe at the German case, recently reported here, where a Muslim man, his 4 wives and 20 children collect $379,000 per year in welfare, while Germans work to pay for it.

That is such a distortion of what I said that I shouldn’t even take the time to respond. Show me where I ever suggested “jihad” is a false claim. Jihad is bloody real like nothing else in history. I’m simply expanding on this Noor case to make the point that I think our law agencies are abusing us and violating our rights in response to muslims’ jihad attack against our nation. Instead of tackling the issue where they should, like banning mosques and sharia and curtailing muslim immigration, our government is punishing “we the people” for what the muslims are doing. I don’t see how my POV could ever been offensive to anyone who is concerned about islam and how our government is responding to it. Somehow you seem offended at my view. Sorry we can’t be better allies, your rebuttal taught me nothing except that you seem to enjoy nitpicking with those who agree with you.
So you’re happy with how our government is responding to the “religion of peace”? I find that hard to believe.
Japetto Donatelli says
Thanks for the article, Mark. No doubt the problem is far bigger than the police, I didn’t want to rant too far beyond the topic. But you’re right, DHS is for sure part of the culture of abuse I believe has developed. It’s sickening, we’re becoming another North Korea or China. And once they get our freedoms I doubt we’ll ever get them back. Eventually they’ll take our guns too. We’re all terrorists now thanks to muslims and their demented religion that ain’t a religion.
Mark Swan says
Japetto Donatelli You are welcome—yes, I agree.
Liza Jones says
They should–and be prepared for the backlash–law suits by families of cops killed or wounded and further disintegration of law and order where police simply can’t function any longer.
It would be shown to be a hare-brained suggestion and would never again raise its ugly head–not in this century at least.

Papa Whiskey says
The DFL party, that’s who. Officially the acronym stands for “Democratic Farmer-Labor,” but a more accurate moniker would be “Demagogue-Foreigner-Liar.”
If they disarm the police, two measures should also be passed:
1. A “constitutional carry” law.
2. A “stand-your-ground” law.
Better yet, pass those two, leave the cops armed, give them better training AND have done with “diversity” hiring.
Johnny Cuyana says
Papa Whiskey, what? Who lets this idiot run?
Com’on, PW! As usual, the answer is that We The People let him run. Apparently, much more so than does much of the general public, these types of self-serving thieving liars understand what immorality and corruption are necessary in order to get elected into our local, state and fed govts. Because, collectively, We The People are largely ignorant — somewhat because of so many years of govt school brainwashing — we are incapable of seeing these thieving liars for what they really are. Therefore, criminals such as this guy can brazenly DUPE the American people much more often than not … and thereby, he can achieve fame, glory and a whole lotta cash! [Hell, he can win a few local elections and then off to DC he graduates.]
PW, there’s a 1000 people, just like this moron, waiting in line to run for office … because We The People are MUCH MORE MORONIC than is he … and he KNOWS it. [For whatever reason is the DC region — fed, over the years, by the TRILLIONS of tax dollars of the American people — so wealthy compared to just about ALL of the rest of the country? Because We The People let ourselves be DUPED.]
Just by asking the question as you did is a fine example of how many of us Americans have willingly let cretins such as this pull the wool over our eyes … and, apparently, we are NONE THE WISER … because we continually BLAME these politicians … even though WE CONTROL THE VOTE [but, maybe not much longer if this keeps up].
Unless WE The People, in sufficient numbers, wake up to this national scam — that is, to change our national culture in a more positive freedom-loving direction — we free-born citizens — soon to be subjects of the DC royalty — are no longer going to be in any position to even ask such questions.
Who lets this guy run? Look in the mirror.

This is just another useful idiot liberal who KNOWS better, but must spout the party line to get support. Trust me, when the you-know-what hits the fan on him, he WANTS the good guy with the gun to protect and save him and his family. Sad state of affairs in Minnesota.

Simply don’t hire unstable foreign nationals who can not handle stressful job such as police duty. It is also important to remember that Islamics are taught to subdue and kill non-Islamics as part of their theocracy so no Islamic can be trusted to do jobs such as policing. Their being a citizen of the State of Islam and requirements tjem to impose Shar’iah law and Islam on the world conflicts with their fealty to the United States and all non-Islamic States.

There is one problem did this butt munch ask the police about this. Another thing you are not hearing about is the large amount of black violence in Minneapolis.

Carrying a weapon is not a license to kill. The candidate is just trying to blame the gun instead of the shooter. Blame the victim, Blame the gun, Anything but the defective mind that pulled the trigger. The body does what the mind tells it to do. Now just where did noor get the idea that pointing his weapon across his partner, at an unarmed and by his account an unidentified person and then firing the weapon, just what made that seem like a good idea? Just what part of that scenario is normal police procedure? Besides that, striking someone in the head with a night stick can kill. Tasers can kill, cars can kill. police depts. have a screening process, and not using it can kill.

The day disarming of police happens, civil society will end and anarchy will begin. What worth would be of disarmed police force against fully armed and non-apologetic criminals?

That would only ensure that number of morons between them would be significantly reduced.
Donald R Laster Jr says
The “Progressive” agenda is about creating problems to justify disarming the population and taking total control over people. This has been going on since Woodrow Wilson and FDR were President. People should read “Rules for Radicals” by Saul Alinsky to understand what “Progressives” are trying to do to the country and our freedoms.
Arthur says
It’s funny isn’t it: Raymond Dehn suggests that police leave their weapons in the squad car to prevent shootings. Justine Damond was killed by Mohamed Noor while he was sitting in his police car. So, Raymond Dehn’s “solution” would not have changed the outcome at all.
http://www.startribune.com/on-minneapolis-north-side-two-thirds-count-on-county-aid/162670206/
68% of North Side Minneapolis residents are on public assistance. Promising to increase public payouts is surely all that is needed to win an election in that precinct.
By denying police the ability to protect themselves, Raymond Dehn is fast-tracking the formation of No-Go Zones in Minneapolis, which will surely win him many Islamist-sympathetic votes. Raymond Dehn sees the way to raise himself to power is to destroy his city, and he gladly proposes it.

“Progressives” or the “Left” do not like to admit that Evil exists. That would require them to think about and judge behavior as well as the consequence of behavior. It would also require them to hold people responsible for the behavior they chose to engage in. All law is based upon the idea that some behaviors are evil or bad, and should not be engaged in. Of course, they do use the fact it exists when it is convenient. That is what “Hate Crime” laws are about – those law judge what a person is believed to think and not what a person does. “Hate Crime” laws are designed to silence the opposition since the opposition of the “Progressives” generally are dealing in facts and no emotion, and that interferes with the “Progressives” agenda of control.

What?? Where is the logic in this? This guy wants people to let him run an entire town – and he clearly doesn’t have the intelligence for it.
Mate, whilst America has their beloved 2nd Amendment and whilst there are something like 1-2 guns per PERSON floating around inside America’s borders, you simply cannot even consider disarming the Police.
As an Aussie, we are in the middle as I see it, between the USA and the UK. We have gun laws here, but they’re far looser than the UK. The UK has practically buggar all guns out in the population (hence why knife crime is so prevalent) – so there is SOME logic in having disarmed Police. But we have armed Police in Australia – because we have guns here.
I wouldn’t feel safe if I knew the Police were disarmed. With our gun laws being the way they are, guns tend to only be found with the group of Aussie’s who have a genuine need of them (hunting, farming, sporting etc) and the criminals. Very few of us have gun licenses and own guns just for the sake of it. I don’t fear the hunters, farmers or sportsman.
But when a Lebanese Muslim OMCG member comes along, with a semiautomatic hidden on his person – I’m pretty damn grateful for armed Police. You can’t talk scum like that down, you can’t even taser them – they’re too hopped up on ice and PCP and steroids. And frankly, the Police have the right to live just as much as we all do, too.
Then again, we don’t have the problem in Australia, where Police are madly shooting innocent people, either. I sincerely doubt I’d be so gung-ho for armed Law Enforcement in my country, if I were an American right now.
Perhaps this idiot would be better to be honest and admit that instead of disarming Police, the US should be preventing the wrong kind of people from becoming Police to begin with.
Meanwhile, as an Australian – I want to know, what the FUCK (sorry) is going on with Mohammed Noor??? He better be hung from the rafters for this. It is inexcusable and unforgivable. Justine Damond offered more to the world than he has ever done or will ever do. She should be alive and she should be counting down the hours now, to her wedding.

Solving the WRONG problem….. A muslim city council, and muslim police… Loyal to sharia, not the constitution makes them inadmissible and deportable

This is one of the reason people need to understand that Islam is a theocracy and not a religion. An Islamic is a citizen of a foreign State who is dedicated to overthrowing all States that are not under the control of Islam and its civil law – Shar’iah law. Islam presents itself as a religion to aid in its take over of States, Countries, and societies.

Linda Goudsmit says
The Humanitarian Hoax is a deliberate and deceitful tactic of presenting a destructive policy as altruistic. The humanitarian huckster presents himself as a compassionate advocate when in fact he is the disguised enemy.
Obama, the humanitarian huckster-in-chief, weakened the United States for eight years presenting his crippling diversity policies as altruistic when in fact they were designed for destruction. His legacy, the Leftist Democratic Party with its “resistance” movement, is the party of the Humanitarian Hoax attempting to destroy American democracy and replace it with socialism.
Diversity is an anthem for the Leftist Democratic Party. They rail against Republicans as exclusionary racists, sexists, misogynists, homophobic anti-immigration elitists insensitive to diversity. The Left’s deceptive inclusionary message was codified in Hillary Clinton’s campaign slogan “Stronger Together.” So let’s examine the subjective reality of the leftist fiction being propagated by these humanitarian hucksters.
The history of diversity began in 1948 when President Truman signed Executive Order 9981 that desegregated the military making it illegal to discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, or natural origin. The Civil Rights Act of 1964 made discrimination in the workforce illegal and broadened the categories making it illegal to discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, or natural origin. In the mid to late 20th century diversity was still an issue of appearances. What race are you? What color are you? What religion are you? Are you male or female? Where were you born?
Workforce diversity was historically an issue of form not content because our Constitutional guarantee of freedom of speech implies freedom of thought. Diversity of opinion was a moot point. No one asked What do you think? And then came the radical socialist huckster-in-chief Barack Obama.
Presenting himself as the agent of change and protector of all Americans Obama deceptively focused diversity on race, gender, and ethnicity and deliberately ignored thought. Obama publicly spoke of inclusive diversity and privately pressed his left-wing liberal agenda into every sphere of American life. The echo chamber that he and Ben Rhodes created in the White House extended to every mainstream media outlet and entertainment medium. The medium became the message. There is virtually no distinction between Obama’s radical liberal views and what is presented as educational curriculum and entertainment in the United States. Americans are being deceptively propagandized toward collectivism and socialism in the name of diversity.
There is no media diversity when conservative political voices are not hired as political analysts or allowed to speak as guests. There is no entertainment diversity on television or at the movies when conservative script writers, actors, and producers are not hired to present an alternative voice. There is no academic diversity on campus when conservative voices are not hired or allowed to speak as guests.
In a stunning sleight of hand ex-president Barack Obama successfully perpetrated the Humanitarian Hoax of diversity by pressuring conformity and silencing opposing voices. When there is no freedom of speech there is no freedom of thought and there is no real diversity – there is only the appearance of diversity. Thomas Sowell famously remarked, “The next time some academics tell you how important diversity is, ask how many Republicans there are in their sociology department.”
Georgetown University adjunct professor Preston Mitchum recently tweeted, “Yes, ALL white people are racist. Yes, ALL men are sexist. Yes, ALL cis people are transphobic, we have to unpack that. That’s the work.”
http://www.libertyheadlines.com/georgetown-univ-prof-white-people-racist/?AID=7236
Fomenting racism is a despicable pursuit that should never be tolerated under the guise of academic freedom. Imagine if Georgetown Law hired an adjunct law professor who tweeted that all black people are racists. The outrage from the Left would be deafening. Preston Mitchum is a disgrace and should be fired and never allowed to return to campus. Reverse racism is still racism and the pretense of diversity is not the reality of diversity.
Diversity requires the open and candid exchange of ideas debated on merit. Diversity requires freedom of speech. The Humanitarian Hoax of diversity is designed to dupe the public into accepting diversity as a matter of form and not content. It is a deliberate effort to impose conformity to Leftist group think and weaken America toward collectivism and socialism. The purpose of the Humanitarian Hoax of Diversity is to kill America with “kindness.”
Socialism with its complete government control is the prerequisite social structure for the globalist elite to internationalize the socialist countries, internationalize the police force, and impose enforced one-world government. One-world government is the new world order that the globalist elite intend to rule themselves. It is unapologetically described in chilling detail in Lord Bertrand Russell’s 1952 book “The Impact of Science on Society.” One-world government is a binary socio-political system of masters and slaves. There is no social justice in one-world government, there is no income equality in one-world government, there are no Leftists, environmentalists, humanitarian hucksters, bullying prevention, diversity, or political agitators of any kind in one-world government – only a docile, compliant population of slaves ruled by the globalist elite.
One-world government is the goal and the underlying motive of the campaign to destroy America from within. American democracy is the single greatest existential threat to one-world government and President Donald Trump is America’s leader. The globalist elite are desperate to stop Trump because if Obama is exposed as a con man it leaves them without their primetime huckster to continue marching America toward anarchy and social chaos with his “resistance” movement. The globalist elites who fund the leftist humanitarian hucksters are using them as useful idiots to facilitate the great Humanitarian Hoax of Diversity to create the overwhelming social chaos necessary to internationalize the police force and impose their own special brand of a new world order.
Obama and his left-wing liberal lemmings are too arrogant to understand that they are being used as puppets by the globalist elite who have an end game of their own. If the globalist elite are successful in their efforts to weaken America and collapse freedom of speech through their deceitful form and no content diversity campaign, overthrow the US government of President Donald Trump, and transform America into socialism the next step is globalist conquest and the imposition of one-world government.
After 241 years of American freedom the world will be returned to the dystopian existence of masters and slaves because a willfully blind American public was seduced by the Humanitarian Hoax of Diversity advanced by leftist humanitarian hucksters promising protection and safety for their victimized selves. The Humanitarian Hoax will have succeeded in killing America with “kindness.”
Donald R Laster Jr says
I agree with most of what you wrote in one way or another, however Mr Obama should never be referred to as President, or even ex-President. Mr Obama fails both citizenship requirements to be President. He was not a citizen of the US when the US Constitution was adopted, nor is he a natural born Citizen of the US. Just being born a citizen does not make one a natural born Citizen of the US. For a person to be a natural born Citizen of the US one must be born in the US and both parents, mother and father, must be US citizens at the time of the person’s birth. We have fake laws, people acting as judges who are not judges, and host of others things that Mr Obama and his allies did that we need to undo simply because he could not do them since he was not President. A lot of people try to avoid these inconvenient facts.
The term natural born Citizen is from Law of Nations, which is incorporated into the US Constitution by Article 1 Section 8 Paragraph/Clause 10. The sentence that actually defines the term is in Book 1, Chapter 19, Paragraph number 212, which states in French:
Les Naturels, ou Indigènes font ceux qui font nés dans le pays, de Paren Citoyens.
In the 1760 English translation of this work this sentence is translated as
Its natives are those who are born in the country parents who are citizens.
The later translations, 1773 and on, translate this sentence as
The natives, or natural-born citizens, are those born in the country, of parents who are citizens.
The 1773 English translation was used in writing the Declaration of Independence, Articles of Confederation, and US Constitution. And the meaning and source have been being referenced since before the US became a country, and even by the US Supreme Court over and over. For those interested get a copy of Benjamin Frankin’s letter to Charles Dumas thanking him for the 3 copies of Law of Nations.

Linda Goudsmit—you are alright thanks for what you wrote here.

October, 1997
“There are those who would very much like to see the attributes of U.S. nationhood fade away. It is not just the power of the United States that they fear; what they fear is the set of ideas that still makes the United States the most powerful nation on earth. For the ideas of America are a sign of contradiction to the way the rest of the world operates.
The power of these ideas to inspire people all over the globe creates an ongoing challenge to those who think the world should be organized on very different principles
Some people confuse material prosperity with freedom. They think that governments can assign a share of material prosperity to everyone, providing that the freedom to worship, think, and act is curtailed for the common good. They do not understand that prosperity and invention arise out of spiritual and intellectual freedom. They want to impose limits and barriers. They want to isolate human beings as individuals not connected to traditional social units, such as families, neighborhoods, and churches. In place of families, they think of collectives, planning and rules set by experts. They start with the notion of redistribution, not expansion.
It is not surprising that the re-distribution-ists identify the spirit of America as the most dangerous threat in the world to their outlook.
If the United States remains an independent leader, then the global collective of nations would be in mortal danger. That global collective is the United Nations. “

Why not just kill all non-Muslims, and bring in a few million more Somalis to replace them? After all, that is what’s happening on a small scale.

staffsgt7 says
only disarm cops if they use the mayor and the rest of the city council as shields. let them be in the forefront of the crap that they help to create.
Frank Anderson says
Radical thought and seriously sarcastic: Disarm the police and watch how fast the officers find other positions outside the city. Then the city positions will be wide open for more diverse and affirmative action stars who will kill more non-Muslims and otherwise support and encourage Muslims in performance of their Islamic duties. Those with any sense will leave even if it requires a bankruptcy to deal with the deficiency claim on houses they either cannot sell for what they owe or are forced to abandon.
Reminds me of the hundreds of thousands of Germans who left before WWII with the clothes on their backs and 10 dollars in their pockets. I knew one of those men, whose good far outweighed the bad.
Frank Anderson says
Additional thought: “Eggs must be broken to make omelets.” Sooner or later some city will complete the Muslim takeover and show the unbelievers what is in store under Sharia. In my opinion I see no great loss if Minneapolis, Chicago, Detroit, Dearborn, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Seattle, New York and any other “major” metropolis is lost in the race to see who can become controlled by Islam first. Maybe then some more people who refuse to see, will start seeing.

The whole Minneapolis shooting, that the neighbors did not see or hear, was a setup to take guns away. It also helped them fire a few people in government.
Tom says
What a moron !!!
With over 300,000,000 guns in the USA he wants police to take a knife to a gun fight !!!
Frank Anderson says
Tom, it depends on who are the “police” and who they are trying to “protect”. Somewhere has to be first to show what is really going on, where it wants to take the rest of us, and what it costs. Minneapolis is so close to being “gone” that just a little more is necessary for the full show to begin. It could be an excellent place, like the Temple Mount to, “Be careful what you ask for: You may get it!” Muslims, like other totalitarians, do not seem to think things through and get something far different from the momentary gains that soon fall to disappointment.
Geppetto says
Why don’t we just put bulls eyes on the backs of our police? Then these lefty loons can just rate the shooters accuracy, pat them on the head and turn them loose so they can improve their aim. Oh, but I forgot, these moon beams, pillars of brilliant, intellectual and conceptual nuance, are going to repeal the 2nd amendment! Put them in charge and the world would be such a peaceful place it wouldn’t need guns or weapons of war anymore. “Nothing to live or die for, and no religion too.” Yeah! Beautiful thought, no?
The scariest thing about all these pusillanimous pontifications from these contenders for political office is that it often gets them elected. So what does this say about the candidate selection process, the electorate and the intelligence and maturity of Americans in general? It says a large segment of modern American society is condescending, narcissistic, opinionated, ignorant, immature and idealistic with absolutely no clue, knowledge or understanding of the nasty underbelly that’s existed within human society since the cavemen discovered fire and the wheel and likely even before that.
These people need to wake up, see and smell the human rats that pervade the world and support and be thankful for the men and women who’re willing to put their lives at risk to protect and defend civil society against these rats. Decreasing their ability to defend themselves while demanding they do more to protect and defend the law abiding citizens among us, them included, is gross incompetence of the highest order.
Geppetto says
Sorry, the 1st use of the wheel was around 3500 BC.
Frank Anderson says
Gep, it may help to remember that the Second Amendment is Federal Law, which cannot be repealed by the states. EVERY state when joining the United States accepts the supremacy of Federal law, which includes Article 6 Clause 2 of the Constitution (The Supremacy Clause) “[Federal law] shall be the supreme law of the land and the judges of every state shall be bound thereby; any thing in the constitution or laws of any state to the contrary notwithstanding.” States which by one means or another attempt to ignore, repeal or nullify federal law depend on corrupt federal officials who collaborate with them in violating the law. I think that is a primary reason AG Sessions has been prevented by Chuck Schumer, (D-NY) from replacing hundreds of Obama holdovers and frustrated in carrying out Trump’s and his mandates to enforce the law. His record as US Attorney and Attorney General in Alabama shows that he will enforce the law; and that scares Democrats to death.
Donald R Laster Jr says
And Amendment 2’s grammar is constantly being ignored and twisted to justify undermining it so “Progressives” can impose their anti-US/anti-Constitution agenda. It has two subjects and a single predicate and could have been written as:
A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State shall not be infringed.
The right of the people to keep and bear Arms shall not be infringed.
In order to determine the meaning of the sentence the first thing that must be done is to strip the sentence down to the basic components of its subject or subjects, and the predicate or predicates. Until these two basic components of the sentence are identified one can not properly read or determine what the Amendment means. The procedure to do this is :
1. First identify and remove the adverb phrases. The adverb phrases in the Amendment are well regulated , being necessary, and be infringed. The result is this sentence:
A militia to the security of free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not.
2. Second thing is to identify and remove the prepositional phrases. The prepositional phrases in the Amendment are to the security, of a free State, of the people, and to keep and bear Arms. The result is this sentence:
A militia, the right, shall not.
3. What one finds is that the 2nd Amendment to the U.S. Constitution has 2 subjects and a single predicate. When a sentence has multiple subjects separated by commas the sentence can be written in English with the commas replaced by “and”. This results in the following sentence:
A Militia and the right, shall not.
4. Under the rules of English when a sentence has multiple subjects separated by the word “and” with a single predicate the sentence can be written with each subject as individual sentences with the predicate. The comma between “right” and “shall” disappears as it a divider. Thus the sentence can be written as these two sentences:
A Militia shall not.
The right shall not.
5. The next step is now adding the adverb and prepositional phrases in to the appropriate sentence that is associated with the subject, or subjects, from the original sentence. This results in the following two sentences:
A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State shall not be infringed.
The right of the people to keep and bear Arms shall not be infringed.

The Second Amendment allows all law abiding citizens to have and bear arms…
it is a stroke of social genius…it smacks of American…it allows for personal self
defense and hinders a dictator.
Over 300 million privately owned legal guns in the U. S. is the SWAG…What that estimate would be if the illegal gun population is included…Who Knows.
There are certainly things this Country is just Un-Able to Approach.
Gun Violence is highly concentrated in urban and suburban areas and associated with gang violence involving male juveniles or young adult males… Although random mass shootings have been covered extensively in the media… random mass shootings account for a very small amount of gun-related deaths…so far…not even a percentage point.
Blacks make up 13% of the population (both sexes) but commit 57% of gun homicides. It’s even worse since it’s more like 6.5% of the population (males) committing 57% of the gun homicides.
The liberal Political Machine…along with media allies may want to Imply that more Gun Control can help with gun violence…but more laws won’t help…that dog won’t hunt…we have very strict laws already in place…just admitting that some specific sources have that inherent potential is a start…to guarding against potential violence.
We all know that…Action Produces Results…If any President would act on the overwhelming source of gun violence in this country…That Very Source Which Causes Our Numbers To Be So High…by focusing on this one area of the most gun violence…it could be diminished greatly…and A WIDE OPEN REAL SOURCE OF ILLEGAL GUN DISTRIBUTION could be disrupted.
We can not stop all violence…yet where we do know we can find it…we could try there.
Any President can use the Bully Pulpit to address this nonsense…I am sure most of us thought this one might when He got elected…yes there will be severe resistance from so many directions…but someone with Real Conviction can garner support from enough citizens…this might get the ball rolling.
It seems we somehow come to view this violence as…it is just the way it is there…it is expected…and let it be there…not here…but…these are major chunks of major cities…major chunks of our Nation…it is in fact the Nation’s long occurring Problem.
If any President wants to unify our people…let them see one law for all…wishing something will change is fine…But it takes action to produce results…wanting to be a leader and leading are different subjects completely…let us hope for such leaders soon.
If We can not reign in these long standing criminal gangs they are still going to be a major source of Illegal Gun distribution and they will aid an abet any one with the funds…If we can not get a lid on this…WE WILL EVEN FIND FIGHTING JIHAD MUCH MORE DIFFICULT THAN IT WOULD NEED TO BE.
Donald R Laster Jr says
The problem with the gun violence in the cities and in other areas is not related to gun. It is related to morals and behaviors. “Progressives” want the violence to continue since it helps them advance their anti-US anti-freedom anti-Constitution agenda. When one deals with the real issues the symptoms go away.
Mark Swan says
A century of sternly enforced drug prohibition has resulted in drugs being more available than ever to inner-city youth. The fact should offer a caution to liberals who imagine that gun laws can succeed where drug laws have failed, and somehow keep a commodity away from a market that demands it.
As long as the debate over the decay of inner-city America focuses only on symptoms-guns, gangs, and drugs-there will never be a solution.
Improving the juvenile justice system is a first step toward reducing teenage criminal violence. Taking violent teenagers off the streets is a more effective approach than leaving them on the street and enacting gun control palliatives.
It is long past time for us to stop fixating on the gun supply, and to start dealing with the persons who misuse guns, and the social conditions under which innocent babies grow in less than two decades into callous murderers.
A better strategy to reducing drug abuse should be to offer inner-city youth a future brighter than the false and numbing consciousness offered by drug pushers.
The true need: the economic, social and moral resurrection of the inner city. Just how this might be accomplished and at what cost can be debated; the urgent need to do so cannot.
Gun control is not merely a phony solution to inner-city youth violence. It is a formidable political obstacle to genuine solutions, because gun control offers political officials a high-profile (but empty) way to tell the public that the legislature is “doing something.”
Every gun control bill that is introduced, and every editorial demanding that we “do something about guns,” makes it that much harder to force the political system to do something real about the desperate conditions of the inner city, to address the fundamental social pathologies of modern America.
The solution is in the playpen, not in the state pen.
All parties to the crime debate would do well to give more concentrated attention to more difficult, but far more relevant, issues like how to generate more decent-paying jobs for the inner city, just one issue which is at the heart of the violence problem.
Ricky says
This guy looks like a real dweeb probably puts the toilet sit down in great fear of his wife
Cid says
Dehn is a suitable successor to the current dhimmi mayor of Minneapolisbad. He’s even going to step up the process… of jihad and sharia supremacy, that is. Unarmed police will be a green light for the jihadis, just as ‘gun-free zones’ are magnets for mass murderers.
Maybe the new mayor can petition for a branch of the Bataclan Theater to come to Minneapolisbad. With unarmed police I’m sure Minnesotastan can outdo France for carnage.
Enola G says
I’d like to see this lunatic answer a domestic violence or armed robbery call w/o a gun. Pure unadulterated lunacy. I saw a policeman with an automatic rifle at the airport yesterday, made me feel protected and safe. Our military is losing the war because of the rules of engagement, evil force only responds to equal or greater force. Yes there will be mistakes, we are human. But without guns this country faces the same death sentence as Sweden, Germany and many other moslime infested areas are currently facing.
Frank Anderson says
Enola, I think this genius would rather not answer calls where “officers” need firearms. Considering the excellence of the “affirmative action” heroes being hired instead of quality officers, I suspect most people would prefer to handle matters on their own rather than calling the dregs of society masquerading as “officers”. Think about other recent stories here where the victim is punished for being the victim instead of the “perp”. If people refuse to see what happens elsewhere, when it starts happening next door or down the street, their views will change. Painful, drastic but effective way to halt the stupidity now in progress.
