Minneapolis USA mayor involved in crimes?

It is more fun criticizing

A traffic stop led to one thing after another leading to alleged involvement of local officials in many crimes:   drug, human trafficking and many more leading to arrests and investigations.    We only thought that this could happen in distant places or in 3rd world countries but not in USA.

Why do crooks, thieves illegal businessmen go to a casino? Or why do casinos flourish?

It is more fun criticizing

Its not because they want to enjoy, or relax. But because they are laundering money.   As we have seen in the case of Alcantara.  How do they launder the money. ?

They go to a casino and exchange the cash for chips.  They can do any of these things:

1.  Lose some of the money and exchange some of the cash for managers check and declare the managers

     check as winning

 2.  Arrange for a game where somebody wins and takes out the winning as managers check.

The winning has thus been laundered quickly.  

So as why many laundromats flourish, (there are many dirty clothes and people are tired of washing clothes manually) So do casinos.  Many people are laundering dirty money.  

This post hate casinos.  I do not admire tycoons who are into casinos.  They do not add to the economy but they destroy and subtract.  They are useful only to the owners who rake in billions and help steal billions from the govt coffers through money laundering.   They propagate a false sense of success to the winner and make others addicted.

In many cities in USA where there were casinos, blight has crept in and rise and fall of the casino players  contribute to this.  Also crimes abound.     How much do we know about Vegas lately?

Why Las Vegas is dying

Scams in Las Vegas (and its legal)

If we are wondering how we got into this, casino is one reason.  Like pogos and online games.  , they should have been banned

Will have better cops and soldiers with higher salaries? That is the hypothesis - is it happening? No!!!!

It is more fun criticizing

The past president has urged govt to raise the salaries of soldiers and and cops  The hypothesis, the given objective was that it woud raise their morale and the  financial need now filled with higher salary will dissuade them from committing crimes.   But this did happen.

Cops in bloody killing - Rappler

The frequent reports:

1.  That a certain Sgt was involved in extortion;

2.   A sergeant shot a lola dead

3.   High level officials involved in

      1  High volume drug recycling

      2  Murder of his alleged  paramour

      3  Prison officials in many cases 

4.   Petty crimes by low level soldiers and cops.

This happened after salaries were increased   What happened to the theory hypothesis:   higher pay means higher morale

Our officials must set get examples and reform their values and norms so that in general our security officers especially the top guns would set good example

He said, they said; whom do we believe now

The general public, the readers of the news are getting confused. Whom do we believe now:   the mainstream media, or the bloggers?   The newspapers, the govt information office or other people in the know:

1.  Narco politicians 

Take the case of a now on extended vacation City Mayor in West Visayas (and he may not return for good for fear of his life). The said mayor is in narco list of the administration and as a proof of the severity of the case, the bemedalled  police officer who saw the demise of two other mayors alleged to be on drug trade was to be transferred to his city (Fortunately the transfer was, may be because of public outrage was deferred).  The good mayor denied the alleged connection with the drug trade.

However, upon interviewing the residents, they told that nothing could be further from the truth.  They alleged the now dead No. 1 drug lord in the city, now dead, funded his election winning.

And then another drug lord, who cant be caught, finally was arrested when he  left the country

2. About the minors killed  alleged to be  innocent  

There was an outcry over the minors, alleged to be innocent by their parents and their relatives.  The public and the relatives could have been led into this turmoil by  a  certain govt offices who want to be popular, and the media.  When there is controversy, copy and broad cast sell.

But we have to be critical of these kind of news.  The fact is many minors have become criminals:  engaged in drug trade, pretty crimes and even hold ups.   The parents naturally will not admit nor accept their young  children to be such.   Iba na mundo ngayon.  Maraming bata ang mga pasaway. And if the police operates against them, and they offer resistance, naturally we can say they asked for it.

Let us suspend our judgement and not jump into conclusion about these alleged involvement of the minors in crimes
