Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey held a press conference early Friday morning at City Hall.

Around 1:30 a.m., Frey addressed a city that is enduring escalating protests that have lasted for the past three days in response to the death of George Floyd. Four Minneapolis Police officers were fired in the incident that happened Monday night.

Thursday night's protests accelerated in violence in comparison to the previous two, with the Minneapolis Police Department's 3rd Precinct set on fire, where all the fired officers were from.

During his address to media, Frey reflected on the bigger meaning of the protests.

"Brick and mortar are not as important as life," he said. "The symbolism of a building cannot outweigh the significance of life."

Wimpy Minneapolis mayor abdicates responsibilities, imitating former Baltimore mayor who offered rioters ‘space to destroy’
By Thomas Lifson

Watching the Minneapolis Police Department’s third precinct come under attack and burn at the hands of rioters, with zero resistance from the police, horrified me last night. Mayor Jacob Frey acted even more irresponsibly than former Baltimore Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake, who 5 years ago told her police force, “…we also gave those who wished to destroy space to do that…”

Baltimore has not thrived in the wake of Rawlings-Blake, and Minneapolis, a city that was regarded as a model city not that long ago, is unlikely to regain that status anytime soon.

Frey, whose demeanor screams spineless wimp, philosophized, “Brick and mortar is not as important as life,” as if allowing anarchists to employ violence without police intervention does not imperil life. If your tolerance of anodyne males permits, here is 14 minutes of his press conference yesterday in which he emoted his agony.

So tell them to stop spreading COVID and stay home. After all, if it saves just one life. Isn't that what everyone said?

Is this basically an endorsement of rioting?

Business owners protesting for the right to earn a living were 'Covidiots'.

These punks receive a different name from the rat media. Obviously they consider them allies.

BTW maybe someone should explain to this mayor where the money in his paycheck comes from.

Tell that to the people who are watching their "life" i.e. their small business or their job burn to the ground around them by people who don't even live there.

Only the most despicable on the left believe this Mayor's statement.  This thing is going to have as much blow back as the COVID mess.  POTUS Trump needs to keep the heat on, no matter how many Tweets "Twavda" deletes.

Give this guy Frey the [Baltimore Mayor] Stephanie Rawlings-Blake "room to destroy" award...
