In St. Paul this shit is going on
Our officers have been busy stopping several vehicles driving around the city without license plates. Each time officers stopped the vehicles, people inside have raced away on foot, leaving vehicles and tools used to wreak havoc on our city behind Saint Paul Police Department (@sppdmn)

Trump and Putin's Russia have emboldened them and much like the cockroach afraid of the light the light has been turned off and made it possible for these creatures to infest our nation in the open.

(10,037 posts)A 100% sure way to get yourself a contact with the Police is to drive around without license plates during a state of emergency. Also, what would be the point? Did they destroy the VIN numbers on all of these vehicles too?

(14,525 posts)They probably heard the presser yesterday. The Governor said about 80% of the arrests were people from out of state. Citizens were asked to keep an eye out for out-of-staters and report them if they show up.
So these assholes probably thought hey, we can beat this by taking our plates off our cars.

(295 posts)Oh, I'm sure this is actually happening... yes, yes, you are so convincing. It couldn't possibly be your own "police officers" pretending to be protesters... no, no, you would *never* do that, would you? That would be dishonest.

(5,969 posts)and go after ther own guys to sabotage operations of their own department. Sure, that makes so much sense. 200 IQ tactics.

(22,976 posts)Apparently the St. Paul Police have some, um, learning disabilities.
If this no-plate-stop-flee maneuver is that incredibly baffling, and if ALL St. Paul Police are aware of it, common sense dictates that theyd quickly adopt a strategy to actually catch some of these alleged plate-switchers one that wouldnt involve weighing them down with lead, that is.
This Safety Update is absent any ring of truthiness.
