Live close to Ground Zero where George Floyd was murdered by police..... 2 people shot

https://minnesota.cbslocal.com/2020/12/28/minneapolis-police-2-people-shot-near-george-floyd-memorial/


So on Next Door app, folks were having a "discussion" and I handed someone my opinion. LOL.

I am not black, but online people think I am. I take that as a compliment.

Some guy was saying how activists park on his block and if there is no conflict they don't have anything to live for, they need to get a life. Two people just got shot at and he's worried about people taking up parking space on his block, calling the city council stupid and just wanting everyone gone.

NOW maybe, because it is fricken dangerous, I can see his point about moving the memorial somewhere that doesn't draw the same kind of angry murderous folk, but really, where can anyone go?

Dolts with guns go into bowling alleys and shoot people up. It isn't safe anywhere anymore.

The solution is to go after people willing to murder others for no real reason at all, lock them up and throw away the key. IF the police would do that, they'd be doing their job and we could be proud of them again.


INSTEAD we have cops going up to people in their own garages, shooting them.

Ohio Man Is Shot Dead by a Deputy Searching for Someone Else

Casey Christopher Goodson Jr., 23, was fatally shot by a member of a fugitive task force on Friday as he was returning home with sandwiches, the authorities and lawyers for his family said.

The Ohio attorney general’s office, which normally investigates shootings involving police officers, said it declined to do so in this case because it was not notified until three days later, after witnesses were interviewed and the scene was cleared.

“Casey was shot and killed as he unlocked his door and entered his home,” the firm said. “His death was witnessed by his 72-year-old grandmother and two toddlers who were near the door.”

Kaylee Harper, who identified herself as Mr. Goodson’s sister, wrote on Facebook that he “literally walked across the yard, walked into the back fence to get to the side door, had his subway and mask in one hand keys in the other, UNLOCKED AND OPENED THE DOOR and stepped in the house” before the deputy shot him.

No, there were no 'suitcases of ballots' counted in secret -- GEORGIA 2020

https://www.kusi.com/security-camera-footage-from-atlanta-ga-allegedly-shows-ballots-being-counted-overnight/

VIDEO is OBVIOUSLY SPLICED. @ 38 sec these bins appear out of nowhere.
@37 sec no bins.
@17 sec you can see the ballot boxes brought out @38 sec are already there.
FAKE

No, there were no 'suitcases of ballots' counted in secret

The most viral claim from the hearing is a 90-second clip of surveillance footage from Fulton County's tabulation center set up at State Farm Arena. Culled from hours of vote counting, the short clip allegedly shows election workers bringing suitcases of ballots out from underneath a table to be counted in secret after Republican monitors were told to go home.

But that's not what was shown and the claims misunderstand the laws and rules around counting.

.....

Sterling, the state's voting system implementation manager, said that investigators for the state watched the full surveillance video from Election Day and said those bins of ballots were already there and accounted for earlier in the day, while both monitors and the media were there.

Gabriel Sterling with the Secretary of State's Office tweeted "the 90 second video of election workers purporting to show fraud was watched in its entirety (hours) by @GaSecofState investigators. Shows normal ballot processing."

"The press reported that there was like a supposed water main break, or pipe break or whatever, and this was an excuse for people clearing out of State Farm," Pick said at the hearing.

The water pipe leak and the events on the surveillance video did not happen on the same night. Those two events occurred 17 hours apart.





Senator: They've investigated repeatedly, that they had a monitor on-site the entire time, that this whole thing has been debunked for weeks by our Secretary of State's Office.

Pick: I doubt he's seen the video.

Senator: What evidence?

Pick: Your officials need to watch the video.

11Alive learned that they did watch the video, which is not new. State investigators reviewed the State Farm surveillance tapes weeks ago.

State Farm #suitcasegate video:
• Water leak & counting happened on 2 different nights
• NOT #Suitcase. Standard ballot containers
• Press & monitors told counting done for the night
• No one was told/forced to leave
• Notice should have been given of ongoing counting pic.twitter.com/O0VTZa8Mii
