Who in their right mind would want to be a cop in that fucking third world city?
- The Minneapolis police department was reduced to a third of its size after George Floyd's murder.
- Two years later, they are still struggling to hire more police officers, The Associated Press reported.
- In 2022, only 57 people applied as recruits, down from 292 in 2019.
The Minneapolis police department is still struggling to rebuild its forces more than two years after the killing of George Floyd, The Associated Press reported.
The department has been reduced to about a third of its size after officers left, citing post-traumatic stress from the 2020 incident. Floyd's killing came at the heels of several years of rising homicide and aggravated assault rates.
Now, city officials are still trying to convince individuals to join the force, recently holding a panel for only six attendees at the Minneapolis Police Academy.
