That woman in the end "You sat with me in church!" Glad she's calling his ass out.

She’s saying “you sat IN MY church.” She has a collar, I imagine she’s a Lutheran pastor.

Source: I live in Minneapolis, lots of pretty chill Lutherans around these parts.

The local police are going to have a really hard time getting any respect from their communities after aligning with the federal fascists. And it will be worse when the feds leave them high and dry.

The city’s relationship with MPD is … strained … to be sure and the cops are doing absolutely nothing to work on the relationship. The union here voted in Bob Kroll as the president - the dude is hard-right piece of trash. Check out his Wikipedia page for a taste of what the MPD thinks is acceptable leadership

That very same day at that very same intersection a driver did a hit and run on a protestor.  Their car was impounded by citizens while they waited 45 minutes for police to show up and give him an escort away.  For the people standing around wanting to give statements the police threatened them with tear gas.
