If Minneapolis had a grownup mayor instead of a snowflake, the rioting and looting of the past two weeks might have been nipped in the bud and America spared more pain piled on top of the pandemic.<\/p>\n<p>Instead, the nation suffers due to one man\u2019s inadequacies.<\/p>\n<p>Frey is the perfect representative of a Democratic Party that has moved so far left it is eating itself alive.<\/p>\n<p>His overwrought gestures are as useless as those of the white women on the streets of Manhattan last week who were tricked by a man claiming to work for Black Lives Matter into getting on their knees and apologizing for their \u201cwhite privilege.\u201d Five well-meaning women were pranked for his camera, but at least all it cost was their pride.<\/p>\n<p>In Cary, NC, on Saturday, the self-abasement took on religious tones when white people knelt to wash the feet of black protest organizers in a ritual described by a woman with a megaphone as \u201crepentance on behalf of Caucasian people.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A white foot washer took over the megaphone at one point to say: \u201cIt\u2019s our honor to be here on behalf \u2026 of all of the white race \u2026 repenting for our pride.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Seriously, the groveling is over the top and does nothing to heal racism in or mend community relations with police. It certainly won\u2019t rebuild those black neighborhoods trashed in Minneapolis.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_15795007\"><img alt=\"Jacob Frey cannot risk the safety of Minneapolis residents for the sake of satisfying radical liberals.\" data- data- height=\"441\" width=\"662\"><\/img><figcaption><span>Jacob Frey cannot risk the safety of Minneapolis residents for the sake of satisfying radical liberals.<\/span><span>Chris Juhn\/ZUMA Wire<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Identity politics is the disease, not the solution. Dividing people into competing victim groups based on race, gender, sexuality and other superficial characteristics is the opposite of what America needs in order to unify.<\/p>\n<p>If Frey and his ilk stopped obsessing about themselves they might understand Minneapolis\u2019 unique problems, which revolve around the country\u2019s largest Somali-refugee population, more than half of which lives in poverty and is plagued by gang warfare.<\/p>\n<p>Abolishing the police force and replacing it with flying squads of <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">social<\/a> workers, as several council members are advocating, would just recreate the anarchy these refugees escaped in the 1990s.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s not what the Somali mothers want. They\u2019ve been begging the city not to allow another mall to be built which, they fear, will just disintegrate into another gang hangout.<\/p>\n<p>Guns and gang warfare in the city of 450,000 make it one of the most dangerous in the country.<\/p>\n<p>In the two weeks since Floyd\u2019s death, 19 people have been shot, only one linked to the protests. That\u2019s business as usual.<\/p>\n<p>Far from too much policing there has been too little that\u2019s effective, as you can see from crime stories chosen at random from the Minneapolis Star-Tribune.<\/p>\n<p>Last month, 18-year-old Arionna Buckanaga died in a drive-by shooting.<\/p>\n<p>In March of last year, 17-year-old Abdiwasa Farah was killed when 26 shots were pumped into his car.<\/p>\n<p>In June, Steven Markey, 39, was shot dead by carjackers.<\/p>\n<p>In August, Abdullah Adeed, 40, was shot dead in a home invasion.<\/p>\n<p>In October, Mustafa Ali, 25, was killed in a shootout between rival gangs.<\/p>\n<p>In November, Somali refugee, Shirwa Hassan Jibril, 75, was beaten to death after asking a group of men on a bus to quiet down.<\/p>\n<p>Other victims since 2016 include Birdell Beeks, 58, hit by a stray bullet as she sat in her car with her granddaughter, and Le\u2019Vonte King Jason Jones, 2, killed in a van with his father during a drive-by shooting.<\/p>\n<p>Fed-up local businesses have had to pool money for their own security because they\u2019re not being protected by police.<\/p>\n<p>Violence is terrorizing a city that has been under Democratic control for most of the past 50 years. Instead of focusing on keeping residents safe, progressive mayors have attempted to social engineer police with notions of diversity and \u201ccultural competency.\u201d The result is a demoralized, weak, understaffed police force, with tragic consequences<\/p>\n<p>A city with such problems needs better policing, not no police. It also deserves a serious person as mayor.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"We_need_answers_Andrew\"><\/span>We need answers, Andrew<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>It\u2019s about time Prince Andrew is questioned by investigators about his relationship with pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.
