Minneapolis Just Added their First 'Non-Citizen' Police Officer Raising Eyebrows Across the US

It should probably upset Americans to learn that non-citizens are now eligible to be police officers in parts of the country.

While these officers have permanent residency status, it's disconcerting they can arrest citizens in a country where they themselves aren't citizens. It feels like a slippery slope.

This is unbelievable https://t.co/baBKH0YU5j

Obviously, a permanent resident should have the ability to work. That is part of the perks of that designation. A nation has to consider if that means all occupations should be available to non-citizens, however.

The Minneapolis Police Department is arming non-citizens with guns and instructing them to use those guns on citizens. When liberals talk about gun control it isn’t to keep you safe. It’s to destroy you. https://t.co/rGgcdzeHII

Don’t you have to be a US citizen on an application - this is diabolical https://t.co/yc1ticBQND

Formerly, that was the standard.

This makes no sense. The "non-citizen" has not taken an oath to be a citizen, therefore how can he be in law enforcement and enforce our laws?
We are screwed. https://t.co/NKPDPHmEtM

In the end of the Roman Empire, the Romans relied heavily on non citizens in their military to police the citizens. I think I’m seeing a pattern here considering every great empire has never made it past 250 years. We are at 248. https://t.co/CvI2falacT

Those who don't learn history are bound to repeat it or something like that.

You read that right, a non-citizen now has the power to arrest, detain, and question American Citizens . . . in America. https://t.co/5JWgvYVU4O

A "non-citizen" police officer is a hired mercenary.

You're the enemy and this is literal treason. https://t.co/RmkXwfIJVS

Leave it to MN and Gov Tim Walz. From tampon machines in men's rooms to AN "ILLEGAL" BEING A COP! https://t.co/ScxuLFLLG9

This is the leadership of Tim Walz. Let's not make a nationwide problem by putting him and Kamala in the White House.

The simulation is glitching out like crazy https://t.co/luXfsHMoZW

Well technically you don’t have to abide by that police officer’s orders or rules. They are not an American citizen therefore have zero authority no matter how much the Minneapolis police department says it does. https://t.co/5oeHloBU81

Unfortunately, they have a gun so an American citizen doesn't have the privilege of arguing that case, and they know that.
