Maybe they shouldn't be closing down businesses while allowing rioters to cause havoc? Maybe those mayors shouldn't be issuing stand down orders to the police to not stop the rioters? 1

So whose job is it to fix the problem? Should we bail out all of the poorly run cities so they can continue being poorly run? Or should the bailout come with federal oversight and conditions they don't like? Or should they be left alone to fix their own problems?

Or should they be left alone to fix their own problems? I would be ok with that, it worked for Buffalo once before "The control board was created in 2003 in response to a fiscal crisis. Facing a huge budget shortfall, exacerbated by an expensive new labor contract with city police and other looming budget strains, then Mayor Anthony Masiello begged the state for a bailout."

B-Man Posted August 11, 2020 Posted August 11, 2020 USA TODAY COLUMN: Back to the future in policing? Civilian militias in American cities: Police being pulled back in blue urban areas has led to neighborhood patrols which lead to chaos, violence, gangs and prejudice. Special bonus: It opens with a Steely Dan quote. Because of course. Plus: “Anyone with a brain and a bit of historical knowledge could have seen this coming, which is no doubt why it eluded so much of our political class.”

But the rioting and lawlessness clearly contributed to the COVID crisis. I think the city of Seattle needs to figure this out on their own. It'll be empowering.

B-Man Posted August 23, 2020 Posted August 23, 2020 DEAR MAYOR FREY: On June 12, The 508 had some unruly people causing trouble outside of our restaurant’s front door. Along with our neighboring restaurant, we called the police at the 1st precinct to help break up the group so that customers would be allowed to get past them and into our place of business. In what I can only describe as utterly shocking, we were told by the police that there would be no police sent our way….and it was recommended that we simply close and lock our doors. Mind you, the 1st precinct is literally one block away from The 508. We had just been allowed to reopen our dining room two days prior, per the Governor’s reduced restrictions. Then, we’re told by City of Minneapolis police that they cannot help us and we should close up and lock our doors on that fateful Friday, June 12. That was it for us. If the City is going to provide that level of “support” to its loyal downtown businesses then we simply cannot operate safely. It was the next day that we decided to close the business forever. 1 1
