The 24 "DEMANDS" of the George Floyd Square protestors

For those that don't know, shortly after the death of Floyd a group of locals shut down a several block area of the city around the site of the incident. They are still occupying the area and have denied access to local authorities including when a murder occurred there.
They have issued 24 "demands" that must be accomplished before they say they will vacate the area. Some are just straight up ransom demands. For your reading pleasure:
Protesters presented the city with a list of 24 demands on August 7, 2020, before the intersection could be re-opened:[97][98]
1. Recall Mike Freeman, Hennepin County Attorney.
2. Fire several employees of the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension.
3.Provide accountability and transparency of several cases.
4. Open an independent investigation into the conviction of Myon Burrell.
5. Establish independent investigation and prosecution of Minneapolis law enforcement, appointed by the Governor of Minnesota.
6. Require law enforcement officers to maintain private, professional liability insurance. LoL.
7. Ban the indemnification of law enforcement officers.
8. End qualified immunity.
9. Invest $400,000 into the George Floyd Square Zone through the neighborhood associations to create new jobs for young people, which will help deter violence.
10. Invest $300,000 into the George Floyd Square Zone through the neighborhood associations to provide Undoing Racism training for the black community provided by the People’s Institute for Survival and Beyond. (I wonder who owns that group?)
11. Adopt and implement the 2019 Livability and Safety Platform Proposal submitted by the South Minneapolis Public Safety Coalition to the City Council.
12. Allocate funds for integrative health services to support residents of the George Floyd Square Zone through the ReCAST grant managed by the Division of Race & Equity.
13. Establish a moratorium on property tax increases for residents of the George Floyd Square Zone for 2 years.
14. Allocate a facade grant to George Floyd Square to improve the aesthetics of the business corridor.
15. Establish and distribute a contingency fund for Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) businesses located in the George Floyd Square according to the needs of each business owner, not their landlords, to ensure the preservation of black-owned businesses and promote race equity.
16. Provide Agape a space for their operations within the George Floyd Square Zone.
17. Gift 612-MASH a blood bank bus or a coach bus to continue care for anyone who enters the memorial site during the winter months.
18. Release the death certificate of Dameon “Murphy Ranks” Chambers.
19. Open and complete an investigation of the murder of Dameon "Murphy Ranks" Chambers.
20. Hold law enforcement accountable for impeding EMS response and the mishandling and delay of Dameon "Murphy Ranks" Chambers case within the zone.
21. Drop the charges against non-violent protesters from 2016-2017.
22. Continue the closure of the intersection of 38th Street East and Chicago Avenue South until after trial of the four officers charged for the murder of George Floyd.
23. Hold the trial of the four former officers charged in the murder of George Floyd in Minneapolis.
24. Include a rent-to own option in new housing construction for renters.
LINK in correct order
FYI, the last two are out of order because I had to cut/paste and number these frickers and forgot those two. Not re-doing the whole post. Someone will accuse me of editing for effect or some shite.

WTF does this have to do with the rest of it?

frick, I’m tired of this shite!

6. Require law enforcement officers to maintain private, professional liability insurance. LoL.
7. Ban the indemnification of law enforcement officers. Without 6, there would be a lot of uncollectible judgments.
8. End qualified immunity. I agree, but they also need to end these gigantic judgments and settlements to people who likely would not have worked a day in their life.

Good luck with all of that.

Has anyone told them that the city doesn't really give a shite if the intersection at George Floyd Square is open or not?
It's also clearly a safe space for all those wishing to mourn

However, in the weeks and months after Floyd's death, the neighborhood surrounding the Square, which had previously held a reputation for gang activity, continued to have elevated levels of violent crime and regular gunfire incidents. These were especially prominent at night, in contrast to what has been described as a "sacred space" during the day.[23] On June 19, 2020, Dameon Chambers, was fatally shot at the square,[1] on July 5, 2020, Leneesha Columbus was fatally shot a block away from the square and the child she was carrying died four weeks later,[4] and on March 6, 2021, Imaz Wright was shot outside the Cup Foods store and died at a nearby hospital.[24]

Looks like Minneapolis should just write that area of commerce and travel off.

I would normally agree BUT look at it from the business owners perspective. You pay your taxes to the government and, in return, the government promises certain things. Like maintaining order so you can do business. The owners paid and now the city has said "frick all that" and left the owners on their own. That's some bullshite. They aren't providing city services in that area but I can guran god damn tee you that the city expects people in that area to pay sales taxes on their businesses and purchases.
I am for small government but if the government is going to abdicate ALL responsibility then we shouldn't be paying them.
