When i wrote this yesterday I forgot one simple rule with this man: he can and will always make shit worse for other people, often for the most asinine reasons

The skies have never been more blue over the city of New York, the sun never more warm, and the Knicks merch more profound and ubiquitous. The other day my daughter had her first basketball lesson on ...
I said this at the time but during the first 3 months of the year I rarely saw MPD in South Minneapolis.. it felt like a very noticeable absence.
It almost seemed like they were hiding so they weren't forced to have to act on at minimum the out of control ICE driving that was happening every day?

Minneapolis police rarely responded to immigration-related emergency calls during Operation Metro Surge, even as the department spent $10 million on overtime and standby pay preparing for unrest that largely never materialized.
