A few blocks in the middle of Seattle that was abandoned by Police after their precinct was taken over by Black Lives Matter activists, Antifa and other thugs and hippies, following days of protests and confrontations.

Yesterday National’s Police spokesman Brett Hudson asked questions of Police Minister Stuart Nash on yesterday’s exposé that the Police failed to follow the law and properly vet the Christchurch shooter which enabled him to obtain a firearm’s licence and then legally purchase firearms for his terror attack.

Mark You have probably seen the ads on TV encouraging us to vote for cannabis reform “on our terms.” Putting aside the obvious question of where the money is coming from to pay for these very professionally produced ads and the airtime it runs on, I’d like to critique
Minneapolis has been brewing this storm-in-a-teacup story of racist police long before George Floyd was murdered. Nine of the eleven councillors were primed and ready to outvote Minneapolis’s mayor, Jacob Frey, who would not commit to abolishing the police at a demonstration last Saturday where protesters shouted, “Go home,
Yesterday I wrote in The BFD about the impossibility of policing the multicultural chasm opened up by the Black Lives Matter movement.
