Minneapolis To Hire 6 'Influencers' To Spread City-Approved Messaging To Public During Derek Chauvin

The monk asked Jōshū,
“How is a dog like Buddha?”
Jōshū responded
By pushing him off a cliff!
How else could he have answered?

With $12,000 going to the “influencers”. Where does the rest go?

What a joke.

P.M. me for where to send the numbers on the backs of the gift cards.

Influence people.

Step Two: get paid for it.

Put on da fukin' mask or my cousin, Giovanni is gonna see you a visit.

Now send me the gift cards.

a lot of good policing methods training for that kind of money.

And George Floyd would have been spared.

been decent police officer no matter how much training in the ways of good policing he received.

"Well, Johnny got to do it".

Her response was, "If little Johnny jumped off a cliff, would you do it?".

Apparently, people who are influenced by "influencers" would indeed take that leap.

I live in Minneapolis and trust me we already know how we feel about the entire situation. Social Media at this point will make no difference.

Convict this POS and send him to prison for the rest of his life.

Problem solved.

Bonus: might also send a message to all the other racist cops out there that they better change their goddamned tune

There's a difference between Instagram influencers and YouTube creators.

Currently, the YouTuber who makes the most is 9-year-old Ryan Kaji. His channel is devoted to reviewing toys. Last year he made $29.5 million. "Follow your passion and let the money take care of itself" seems to hold true in his case. His channel is Ryan's World, and he has 28.7 million subscribers.

Influencers, not surprisingly, make their money from sponsors. They are paid a certain amount per post, so the more followers you have, the more you get per post. As an example, the second highest earner on the list is Ariana Grande, who makes an estimated average price per post of $391,530 to $652,550. A simple mention from her on her Instagram feed can help you reach her 165 million followers.

"What do you want to be when you grow up, Johnny?" "I wanna be an influencer." Go for it, kid!

a governmental entity decides to use social media stars instead of academics and legit journalists to offer their opinion on how to behave when those dangerous idiots get a mere slap on the wrist (or even worse, acquitted) shows me just how out of touch that governmental entity is. It also suggests to me that we are about to get yet another outcome that sensible people (you know, the ones that feel murder is not an acceptable police procedure, that mental health is not an excuse to shoot your dic.... sorry, your weapon around, and that the convenient 'I was in fear for my life' excuse, without offering proper evidence that it was, is just that, an excuse) are not going to like. But we will see. I live around St. Anthony and Falcon Heights, so I will be in ground zero once this latest travesty of justice occurs. Sure, I want things to happen differently. But I no longer look to the sky and daydream of a more equitable society because I have yet to see any evidence that it will ever even get discussed, much less come to pass. Especially when a city calls on the modern equivalent of Joe Isuzu/P.T. Barnum to be its spokespersons. (All due respect to David Leisure and the late P.T. Barnum).
