A STORY OF BETRAYAL: Former Minneapolis police officer speaks out. It's a discouraging story of wokeness run amok.

I am curious about one thing. Apparently the Minneapolis newspaper sent out a dozen reporters/photographers to document a Minneapolis summer night: so how many security personnel accompanied them?

PowerLine comments:

These days, many in government believe that all of our money is theirs to give, and we retain a portion of it only at their sufferance. And the idea that there are limits on the proper functions of government seems nearly extinct. Every time I hear a politician say that he is “fighting” to make my life better, I see another nail being driven into the coffin of the republic. Making my life better is my business, not the government’s.

Agreed, and what I want is for the government to "get out of the effing way!"
