“Voters in Minneapolis, the city where George Floyd died in police custody, sparking months of destructive protests, will now be able to vote in the upcoming municipal elections on abolishing the police department, the Minnesota Supreme Court said in a reversal of a lower court ruling.”

“A large mob of Black Lives Matter militants looted a Target late Thursday evening in response to a fatal police shooting in the city.  Winston “Boogie” Smith, 32, was reportedly wanted on a state warrant for being a felon in possession of a firearm. After being stopped in his vehicle by law enforcement, the U.S. Marshals Service says he “produced a handgun.”

“The University of Minnesota is conducting the nation's first randomized trial of a controversial anti-parasite drug that has a fervent U.S. following and is being used on the black market against COVID-19 across the globe.”

Now, will they do a good trial or give it to the wrong patients? There are three primary outcomes. Measure blood oxygen (<93%), did you have to use the emergency room, and PASC assessment questionnaire. Secondary outcome measures seem to be measured very late and do not start until 14-days.

Also, the laboratory outcomes are only for the first 70-patients. So those statistics will be very weak and not tell you much. And further notice that these 70 patients probably have their labs complete and with Ivermectin added so late, we doubt that any ivermectin patients will have any of the labs.  We think this study design is extremely poor and maybe that is the way they want it.  Prove us wrong U of M.

"Three of four men who have pleaded guilty to their roles in setting the Minneapolis Third Precinct ablaze last spring have been sentenced to federal prison and will owe a combined $36 million in restitution."

“In what will likely come as no surprise to many - especially given the judge's own remarks during closing arguments - Derek Chauvin's lawyer filed a motion on Tuesday in Hennepin County, Minnesota, for a new trial on multiple grounds including jury misconduct and in the "interest of justice."”

“After deliberating for more than 10 hours, the jury in the Derek Chauvin trial has found the former Minneapolis police officer guilty on all counts in the murder of George Floyd.”

“It's been quite a few days for the millionaire south-central LA congresswoman. First she incites violence and questions the US judicial system, then violence takes place resulting in injuries, then she is denigrated for actions, and turns around and blames white supremacy for what she did and said. But, to be frank, all of that pales into insignificance relative to what could possibly happen next.”

“Even though the judge denied the defense's motion for mistrial, he highlighted the damage her rhetoric may have done, saying "Congresswoman Waters may have given you something on appeal that may result in this whole trial being overturned."”

“A Minneapolis City Council candidate encouraged those who “feel like burning shit down” to target the city’s wealthiest residents instead of causing further damage to poor communities.  “Just a personal thought — just in case y’all feel like burning shit down, the poor community is not your oppressors. FYI — lake of the isles has more then [sic] needed and won’t be missed,” Rita Ortega wrote on her personal Facebook page, which is under her full name of Margarita, according to screenshots shared widely on social media Friday.”

“New documents filed in the George Floyd case give new information about the Hennepin County Medical Examiner's findings in Floyd's autopsy.  Handwritten notes of a law enforcement interview with Dr. Andrew Baker, the Hennepin County Medical Examiner, say Floyd had 11 ng/mL of fentanyl in his system.   "If he were found dead at home alone and no other apparent causes, this could be acceptable to call an OD. Deaths have been certified with levels of 3," Baker told investigators.  In another new document, Baker said, "That is a fatal level of fentanyl under normal circumstances."”

“Target Corporation, the eighth largest retailer in the United States, announced in an email to employees on Thursday that it will be leaving the City Center, its primary downtown Minneapolis location.  Company officials cited improved remote work opportunities and less need for space as the drivers for the decision.”
