Okay, this is funny. Sorta. You remember, these are the guys that voted to DISBAND the MPD. Not defund, get rid of it. But time have changed their tune:
Just months after the Minneapolis City Council called for “dismantling” the police department in the wake of George Floyd’s death, they are now panicking that there’s not enough policing to deal with the spike in violent crime.
During a recent meeting that was supposed to be a study session on police reform, Democratic council members instead relayed the frustrations they’re hearing from constituents.
"Residents are asking, ‘Where are the police’?” said council member Jamal Osman, reports MPR News. “That is the only public safety option they have at the moment. MPD. They rely on MPD. And they are saying they are nowhere to be seen.”
The number of reported violent crimes, like assaults, robberies and homicides are up compared to 2019, according to MPD crime data. More people have been killed in the city in the first nine months of 2020 than were slain in all of last year. Property crimes, like burglaries and auto thefts, are also up. Incidents of arson have increased 55 percent over the total at this point in 2019. (MPR News)
Even typically safer wards are seeing a major spike in violence, with residents telling their council members they feel “terrorized.”
Council President Lisa Bender, who led the charge to dismantle the police and “replace it with a transformative new model of public safety,” argued that officers were being defiant.
Police Chief Medaria Arradondo said approximately 100 officers have left the department or taken leave since the start of 2020.
How monumentally stupid can they be? What did you think was going to happen when you tell your cops to stand by and do nothing while domestic terrorists vandalize and burn down public and private property within fear of any consequences? "Fuckin' A" people are going to feel "terrorized". After all this time, I haven't heard the first word from the far left lib dems on that city council or anyone else as to who is going to arrest the bad guys. And there are going to be plenty of bad guys, as the increase in crimes and killings increase. Do you intend to send an unarmed social worker to respond to the next call involving the next George Floyd? Oh, I know, let's wait until he has a gun and points it at the social worker, maybe he won't shoot. What if he has a butcher knife and he's charging your social worker screaming bloody murder? Maybe he'll stop and do nothing, right?
