Listening To This News Conference By MN Gov....

[global1]

It sounds like a number of people are just covering their asses and making excuses.

Today is 'too little to late'. They weren't prepared. They didn't have their resources in position.

They had two missions: 1) prevent the unrest and, 2) protect the community because of the bigger issue - Covid.

They blew it on both. The unrest of last night was worse than the night before. They didn't prepare.

Also, now the community is devastated and burned out. Where are people of the community going to get their food supplies and feel protected in this time of covid?

I have my reservations as to whether they will be prepared tonight. They don't sound very strategic.

1. I have to admit,

I was distracted by the animated sign language lady. It takes skill to know so many signs.

[a la izquierda]

7. Me too. Nt

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

9. I've learned that facial expressions are part of the "grammar" of ASL.

You use your face and body as well as your hands to convey the nuances of what you're saying. It's a very interesting language.

[mucifer]

16. No more than any other language. It's a true language. It is a skill to be bilingual

[lame54]

21. She was way too wordy...

The sign for Bullshit over and over would have been more accurate

[Shell_Seas]

2. Even if they aren't prepared to be met with force....

The attention may wind up in another city, as hundreds are protests are scheduled tonight around the county, some which also may lead to shootings.

[roamer65]

10. Louisville was winding up last night.

Probably will be worse tonite.

[Baclava]

3. Seems like the strategy again tonight will be, stand back, let it happen

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

6. No, it's very clearly not.

[Baclava]

19. I didnt hear much of a plan, just "restore order" "stop the anarchy" we'll see how it works tonight

[wryter2000]

4. They need to arrest the murderers

That will prevent more violence

[Blue Owl]

5. Still waiting for those 4 murderers wearing police uniforms to be arrested

You know, the ones who started all this...

[Heartstrings]

8. Take those LEO into custody and this will, most likely, stop.....

Charge them with assault and sort out the blatant murder charges, but DO SOMETHING!!! A man died, in broad daylight, while pleading for his life!

[roamer65]

12. I CAN'T BREATHE.

I hear that on the video I and it just wrenches me to my core.

I have had breathing issues in the past and it is a horrifying feeling and I’m sure even more horrible way to die.

[lame54]

22. It was a slow painful...

Execution where the murderer mugged for the camera in front of the entire world

[Progressive Law]

11. I agree, the press conference sounds like a lot of defensive ass checking.

[sop]

13. A lot of the protests around the country seem caused by pent-up rage about a bunch of things.

People are now staging multi-purpose riots: protesting the latest murder-by-cop (there have been so many it's hard to keep track), imbecile Trump and all his fuck ups, 100,000 dead people, being locked up at home, losing their jobs, watching the rich get richer while they lose everything, you name it. This summer's going to be a real riot.

[gristy]

20. Yep. That's quite a list. All coming to a boil just in time for the summer heat.

107 forecast high today in Las Vegas. And it's still May.

[soothsayer]

14. I think some of them were trying to bore us to sleep

Dude in the fatigues was... fatiguing!

Generally I think they’re off message. Too much inside baseball that begs an unanswered “So what?”.

The Q&A portion is getting better maybe.

[MoonRiver]

15. All they need to do is arrest the murderers (i.e. the right thing).

[handmade34]

18. "All they need to do is arrest the murderers"

these MN authorities are dumb as rocks to not understand this

[JCMach1]

17. Make murder arrrests and you don't have to prep

Anything

[GeorgeGist]

23. Bob Kroll holds the Trump card.
