Say, what happens when you demonize the very people who protect you from criminals?
Violence, Gunfire Rage as Officers Abandon Minneapolis Police Department
Violence and gunfire are raging in Minneapolis as officers leave the department at such a rate that residents are warned that 911 responses may soon cease.
The Washington Post reports:
Nearly six months after George Floyd’s death here sparked massive protests and left a wide swath of the city burned and destroyed, Minneapolis is grappling with dueling crises: an unprecedented wave of violence and droves of officer departures that the Minneapolis Police Department warns could soon leave the force unable to respond to emergencies.
The report notes that North Minneapolis is marked by gunfire, as “bullets zip through this predominantly Black neighborhood, hitting cars and homes and people.â€
Minneapolis homicides have surged 50 percent this year, with almost 75 people killed
Community activist Cathy Spann observed, “If you want to talk about pandemics, we’re dealing with a pandemic of violence. We’re under siege. You wake up and go to bed in fear, because you don’t know what’s going to happen next. … And our city has failed to protect us.â€
The same type of “community activists” demonized the police for the horrible actions of a very few (and some actions that aren’t bad but bad people complain about). They wanted them defunded. And the police are leaving for greener pastures. What did you think was going to happen? In fairness, Joe might not want to defund them, but people like Kamala and tons of other Democrats do. And Democrats are soft on criminals, so, have more fun in Democratic Party run cities.
