Governor's proposal for an emergency public safety fund and they won't support
bonding to rebuild businesses destroyed by the riot.
There needs to be a compromise. Republicans should support the emergency fund
and the riot rebuilding. DFL legislators will have to accept some Republican
law and order provisions. Minneapolis won't be readmitted to the Union until
the police defunding movement is squashed.
What is happening with the Chauvin trial? Most prosecutors would flip the two
rookie officers. A plea bargain in exchange for testimony against Chauvin and
Thao. The two rookies will be hard to convict.
AG Ellison is feuding with the trial judge. Defense attorneys can get away with
more than prosecutors. Maybe Ellison is taking a hard line before bargaining.
I'm worried about the trials. The jurors will be from all of Hennepin county,
not just Minneapolis. People are bitterly divided over politics. If the jurors
want to hang each other that increases the chances of a hung jury.
