[HOTAIR] Minneapolis’ city council, which spent most of the summer and fall demanding the ability to dismantle its police force, has now started begging for coppers from neighboring jurisdictions to help them deal with skyrocketing crime:Minneapolis officials are considering bringing in officers from other jurisdictions to help the city’s Police Department as they face a wave of violent mostly peaceful crime and an officer shortage.
If the mayor and City Council approve the plan, officers from the Hennepin County Sheriff’s Office and Metro Transit Police would temporarily work with the city, primarily helping to respond to violent mostly peaceful 911 calls.
"We’re not gonna be having these people out taking bicycle theft reports. These are going to be people out combating crime issues," said John Elder, a front man for Minneapolis police.
The officers would form Joint Enforcement Teams, known as JETs. Elder said the city has relied on such teams in the past, particularly to help in areas where violence was spiking.
Earlier this year, WCCO-TV reported that the department has lost a large number of officers in the wake of the unrest following the death of George Floyd. That led to some residents suing the city, claiming there are not enough officers to protect them as crime is on the rise.
There is currently a $500,000 proposal on the table to pay for supplemental patrols from the Hennepin County Sheriff’s Office and Metro Transit through the end of the year. That’s a half-million dollars for seven weeks of police patrols.
And WCCO misses out on one key point — it wasn’t the unrest that prompted the exodus from the MPD. It was the lack of political support for police and the outright hostility to their continuing presence by the city government which prompted it. Their "abolish the police" crusade incentivized the departure of experienced coppers and all but killed the MPD’s recruiting efforts to find even a normal replacement level.
Now the bill has finally come due for "defund the police." Will Minneapolis residents finally put the blame where it’s due — on the idiocracy they themselves created by electing their current city council?

Maybe you could rehire the officers you sidelined and forced to retire with a hefty sign-on bonus and better pay.
And the city council, mayor and the whole string of idiots in between go away. If they love their city, that is.

Well, Minnesotans have always helped those in trouble, so Minneapolis can expect a large helping of what we locals have an abundance of.... hogshit.
[HOTAIR] I guess the municipal government of Los Angeles must really be buying into the idea that the apparent election of Joe Foreign Policy Whiz Kid Biden ...Candidate for president in 2020. We hold these truths to be self-evident. All men and women created ... by the — you know — you know, the thing... will mark a new era of peace, love, understanding, unicorns and flowers. I’m assuming that’s the case because they’re going to be further scaling back the size and duties of the LAPD. I mean, why keep all of those cops roaming around the streets of the city if everyone is busy attending a huge hug festival, right? With that in mind, they’ve already slashed $150 million from the police budget so they won’t be able to afford to keep as many cops on the payroll anyway. Oh, and if you’re involved in a fender-bender with another car, don’t bother calling the cops. They won’t be responding to those calls anymore.
Amid a spike in homicides, the Los Angeles Police Department is set to downsize its homicide and robbery division and will stop responding to traffic collisions, according to CBSN Los Angeles.
Due to budgetary challenges, more than 200 LAPD officers will be moved back to patrol under a "broad reorganization aimed at preserving patrol and community engagement functions," according to the Los Angeles Times. Under the plan, anyone with minor injuries from car accidents and hit-and-run crashes will need to file a report online.
In June, following protests and riots that erupted across the country over the death of George Floyd, the Los Angeles City Council moved toward defunding the LAPD, voting to cut the department’s budget by up to $150 million, according to CBS.

I'll bet those morons give the money to illegals, then blackmail tax what remains of the legitimate residents when the whole idea goes south.

Houston has been on this for decades. If you have a traffic incident with no injuries and both cars are drivable, exchange info and file with the police (now online only).
If you have to have an ambulance or a wrecker, you wait for the blue and red lights.

Absent a police report when one party is clearly at fault more and more cases will end in subrogation with shared costs. This translates into higher rates. Long term effects on commercial real estate value predictable.
[ToloNews] Chief of Army Staff Gen. Mohammad Yasin Zia, who is leading the operations against the Taliban ...the Pashtun equivalent of men... in the south of the country for the last few weeks, says the US forces are providing air support to the Afghan forces based on their need while considering the commitments the United States has made in the Doha agreement.
"Based on the commitments they (the US) have made with the Taliban for peace, they are not cooperating with us in land operations, but they provide us air support at our request," Gen. Zia said in an interview with TOLOnews.
The festivities in the south of the country started when the Taliban attacked three districts in Helmand ...an Afghan province populated mostly by Pashtuns, adjacent to Injun country in Pak Balochistan... a month ago. The festivities then expanded to Kandahar and Uruzgan districts in the south of the country.
Zia questioned the Taliban’s will for peace and said there are two perceptions in this regard: "Either the Taliban in Doha is not recognized by those who are fighting on the battlefields, or they (Taliban) want to deceive the people."
Recently, many attacks happened in the country, including the Kabul University attack and the attack on Central Bank employees in Kabul, but were not claimed by any group.
The army chief blamed the Taliban for such attacks and said, "All attacks that happen in Afghanistan either the Taliban are behind them or they collaborate in these attacks with ISIS, al-Qaeda, or some other groups including the Haqqani network ...a branch of the Afghan Taliban, based in Pakistain. The network is a family business founded by the later Jalaluddin Haqqani... He stressed that there is a need for a ceasefire between the warring parties to move the grinding of the peace processor forward.

[IsraelTimes] US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo announces a seven-nation tour of US allies, which have congratulated President-elect Joe Foreign Policy Whiz Kid Biden ...Candidate for president in 2020. I'm not working for you.

Pompeo says he will leave Friday for Gay Paree and then head to Istanbul and the former Soviet republic of Georgia before visiting Jerusalem and three key Gulf Arab allies — Soddy Arabia ...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor.

It sits on some really productive gas and oil deposits, which produces the highest per capita income in the world. They piss it all away on religion, financing the Moslem Brotherhood and several al-Qaeda affiliates. Home of nutbag holy manYusuf al-Qaradawi... The trip will see the top US diplomat discuss Trump’s "historic efforts to forge peace and cooperation throughout the Middle East," Pompeo tells news hounds.

[ALMASDARNEWS] Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev announced during an interview with the BBC that Azerbaijan will sue Armenia for damage to the infrastructure in Karabakh and property of Azerbaijani citizens.
"We will invite international experts to assess the damage to our infrastructure and civilians who have lost their homes and our historical heritage. After that, there will be lawsuits against the Armenian state, and we are preparing for that," Aliyev said on Monday.
For his part, the assistant to the Azerbaijani President Hikmat Hajiyev accused Armenia of "environmental terrorism" today, referring to its destruction of forests and damage to the environment in the Karabakh region.
On November 8, the Minister of Education and Culture of the Republic of Karabakh, Lucini Karakhanian, announced the destruction of more than 70 schools and 10 kindergartens since the beginning of the armed festivities, which were renewed last September 27 at the line of contact.

[HOTAIR] Do you remember when police and municipal officials were advising all of the businesses in their cities to board up their shops in anticipation of all of the looting and violence that would break out if Donald Trump ...the Nailer of NAFTA... won the election? Well, at least in the nation’s capital it appears that the crisis has passed. D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser has sent out a notice asking all of the businesses to begin taking down the plywood coverings nailed to their windows. Apparently, the declaration that Joe Foreign Policy Whiz Kid Biden ...Candidate for president in 2020. Old, boring, a plagiarist, fond of hair sniffing and grabbing the protruding parts of women, and not whatcha call brilliant... will be the next president has solved all of our problems with social unrest and everyone can just go about their business as usual. (Well... except for the places that are shut down because of the pandemic, of course.) So I guess all is right with the world once again, right? Bear with me here, because I smell a rat and I think many of you will also. (Free Beacon)
Washington, D.C., officials are asking shopkeepers to remove plywood boards protecting their stores, claiming that "no credible threats of violence" exist despite left-wing groups’ planned post-election demonstrations.
Businesses and government agencies in the nation’s capital, dozens of which were damaged during anti-police protests this summer, boarded up windows and entryways in preparation for potentially violent mostly peaceful post-election protests.
On Saturday, the News Agency that Dare Not be Named declared Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden the election’s winner, leading D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser’s (D.) administration to make the request.

[Jpost] Move might not be bad for Israel, report says.
Since 2009, Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has completely eclipsed Iran’s Ministry of Intelligence and Security, a new report from the Meir Amit Intelligence and Terrorism Information Center says.
In recent years, the IRGC’s seizure of power not only in a range of new political and economic areas, but also in areas of hard nosed intelligence traditionally reserved to the MOIS, has accelerated dramatically, writes the report’s author, expert Raz Zimmt.

The A$$ahollah may have played intel against the IRGC, but the A$$ahollah was losing that struggle. Kind of makes one wonder just who it was that spilled the beans on the whereabouts of 'Gen" Solee-meeni-miny-mo, it's a puzzlement alright.

LOL. Biden is going to invade Iran in an Iraq-style quagmire. Right after they get finished with Syria, which shouldn't take long. Then Venezuela for dessert...there's a lengthy list of wars of aggression the globalists have been trying to start but Trump wouldn't let them.
Al Qaeda is happy they “won” in Azerbaijan and Libya. And they won’t stop until they have Syria.
