“We can either live in a paranoid politically correct world frantically trying not to offend the Hitlers and Mohammeds, and blaming their victims when they kill, or we can be free men and women who have chosen to take the power to defend our rights into our own hands.

While a thousand organizations use the Holocaust as a platform for speeches about tolerance, Children Of Jewish Holocaust Survivors [Jews Can Shoot] is conducting firearms training… Freedom is not defended with empty idealism easily perverted into appeasement of evil, but with the force of arms.”

All too many of the other great tragedies of history - Stalin's atrocities, the killing fields of Cambodia, the Holocaust, to name but a few - were perpetrated by armed troops against unarmed populations. Many could well have been avoided mitigated, had the perpetrators known their intended victims were equipped with a rifle and twenty bullets apiece... If a few hundred Jewish fighter in the Warsaw Ghetto could hold off the Wehrmacht for almost a month with only a handful weapons, six million Jews armed with rifles could not so easily have been herded into cattle cars.

Minnesota Attorney General wants to know why cops carry guns, says “get rid of the word police”. (Op-ed)

by Doris Wise Montrose on August 2, 2020

Speaking of misleading, here we have Minnesota’s Attorney General Keith Ellison: “We need to re-conceive of how we do policing, you know, in England the cops don’t carry guns — in other countries as well. Why do every single one of our officers carry guns? And some of them are military style weapons and shotguns,” he said.

MINNEAPOLIS, MN – This guy is supposed to be a part of “law and order”?

Minnesota Democratic Attorney General Keith Ellison is calling for a “refund the community” approach in place of “defund the police” and questioning why every police officer carries a firearm.

In talking about the “defund the police” movement that has come following the death of George Floyd, Ellison said he doesn’t care if a city gets rid of the word “police” but there needs to be some sort of public safety system in place.

Black Lives Matter, which has been organizing protests in cities around the nation since the death of George Floyd on May 25 in the custody of Minneapolis police, has demanded that cities defund their local police departments.
