Police abuse their power when leaders pick sides? And what about the Mayor? Has he not chosen sides? He lambasted the riots, but has allowed it to continue. Actions and words.

The mayor told the police to do the one thing that could’ve stopped all of this: arrest the murderer.

100% of this is happening because police continue to refuse to arrest police.

Frey's actual power over the police and the Hennepin County Attorney is relatively limited.

> He lambasted the riots, but has allowed it to continue

How, exactly? I mean, it's not like the rioters are following his orders (or maybe you're saying they are?!). If you're just saying it's his responsibility, then sure, but he's not the only one. Aren't community leaders, the police, the governor and the president likewise "allowing" the riots to continue simply because they haven't stopped them?

I mean, Trump literally evoked an image of shooting rioters. Did anyone else do anything similar?
