Florida police chief encourages residents to shoot looters breaking into homes
[NYPOST] A Florida police chief on Monday encouraged residents to open fire on violent looters who try to enter their homes.

"I would tell them, if you value your life, they probably shouldn’t do that in Polk County. Because the people of Polk County like guns, they have guns, I encourage them to own guns, and they’re going to be in their homes tonight with their guns loaded," Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd told news hounds during a news briefing.

"And if you try to break into their homes to steal, to set fires, I’m highly recommending they blow you back out of the house with their guns. So, leave the community alone."






Minnesota officials say aggressive approach toward protests helped
[IsraelTimes] Officials in Minnesota say a more aggressive approach helped prevent another night of dangerous and damaging violence in Minneapolis from protests over the death of George Floyd.

The state poured thousands more National Guard soldiers into a response that came after repeated days of arson, property damage and looting on the city’s south side.

Public Safety Commissioner John Harrington says law enforcement tried to move quickly to break up groups of protesters who ignored an 8 p.m. curfew that was in place for the first time.

Gov. Tim Walz called restoring order the first step toward addressing the systemic problems that contributed to the death of Floyd, who died after a police officer pressed his knee on Floyd’s neck for several minutes. Walz said the curfew will remain in place for at least one more day.

Yesterday Lex posted the link to Law Enforcement Today, because they’re doing a good roundup of breaking stories on the subject. And I wanted to capture something Iblis commented:
Had an opportunity to watch the riots in one major city over the weekend. I am by no means a trained observer, but I did notice a few things.

There were clearly 2 shifts. The first was mixed race, gender. Many couples. Some brought children. They had signs and water. Demonstrated during the day, then started leaving around 4PM. The second shift started showing up after that. Nearly 100% young male. Masks, helmets, some weapons. Noticed obvious signs of organization. Guys on motorcycles were moving around speaking with individuals stationed at different locations. Vans moving in and out. Same vehicles showing up repeatedly. Once the police started moving the crowd back with tear gas, the rioters went to individuals with bottles of a white powder. This was applied to the face and seemed to neutralize the tear gas. These guys were strategically positioned, and the rioters knew about them.

Minneapolis police union head defends cops, blames protests on ‘terrorists’
[IsraelTimes] Union president Lt. Bob Kroll says in a letter to union members that they have lacked support at the top, and that the “terrorist movement” occurring in Minneapolis was years in the making, starting with a minimized police force.

Kroll also said that Floyd’s criminal history is not being told. The AP has reported last week that Floyd was charged in 2007 with armed robbery in a home invasion in Houston and was sentenced to five years in prison as part of a plea deal, according to court documents.

Kroll said all four officers are represented by defense attorneys, and labor attorneys are fighting for their jobs. He said the officers were fired without due process.
