Order the police to kick them out then, if his Sheriff/Captain refuses then fire his ass and replace him with someone that will follow orders.

MODERATORS
Yeah, it's pretty straightforward how to best respond here
Minneapolis police are probably jealous of ICE
It seems the police chief is on the mayors side if you watch the Q&A.
I don't think he has that power over the police. I'm starting to wonder if any police force has a power than can give them somehow enforceable orders.
Then he needs to hire people who will follow those orders.
I don't know for sure in Minneapolis, but in most places the Mayor and Council don't actually have the authority to directly hire and fire officers. Most cities the politicians only appoint judges and a city manager/administrator.
It would be like a President trying to fire a specific employee of an agency. FBI agent John Smith can't be fired by the President. That's why executive appointments matter so much. Patel isn't qualified to run the FBI, but he'll fire who the President wants gone, which is the only qualification Trump cared about.
Arrest the fucking murderer. Letting him leave is not the answer
Just take him out back. I dont want to see an internal investigation that reports no wrongdoing
No one said anything about an internal investigation.
Was kinda a reaching joke. The idea is that most of the police and ice are in cahoots. Any attempt at justice would be subverted by the systems in play. The only justice any of these people will recieve will be mob rule.
The fact the FBI is involved gives me just as little hope.
I watched the first half and it's worth watching. I hope he runs for some higher offices.
Yeah, this is the kind of genuine, raw straight talk that Trump feigns.
Remove them or your talk is fake
Hopefully he follows this up with some meaningful action such as actually making them leave.
Or having the shooter arrested.
Why not both?
Because if the shooter leaves than the police won't be able to arrest him. Getting the shooter the fuck out of the state is probably the federal government's top priority.
Hopefully they can find him before he escapes, but he is likely already out of there at this point.
Okay, but whether Minneapolis arrests him or he escapes, they should still kick the rest of those goons out.
Pretty much agree with all of what the mayor said except for what boils down to "let's not give them what they want and let's fight hate with love and hugs instead."
Imagine saying that to the Allies when the Axis came marching in.
Imagine saying that to a victim of violent bullying.
Imagine saying that to this murdered woman—Renee Nicole Good.
Sure, don't fight fire with fire because hate clouds rational thinking. But at least fight fire with something analogous to the ±300 PSI water hoses that firefighters use. Sabotage these limp dick lunatics.
MURDER
Hey pele
Are you still against advocating for violence against Trump or is it okay now?
It is not okay. Why?
Did you just respond with the moderator flag on as a warning or am I being paranoid?
As your trusted advisor, I suggest you don't answer that question.
Paranoid. I'm asking why as a mod.
