Minneapolis is a ghost town at lunch! What happened? downtoen was booming at lunch, just packed with people..Now its a graveyard!
Remeber the U told Minneapolis police that they can not patrol the campus anymore!!!
You don't say.
But yet vote the same mayor and then vote in socialist democrat city council for this area? Police shortage. Once that element moves in it's hard to get rid of it. If the city will not 'back' its police who are short handed, they will not put much effort into cracking down on violations and crime. Or is it just fear porn being perpetuated?
Help! Help! Call a Safety Ambassador!
This is not news… It's garbage. Pond scum news….
Our immature City Council demonized the police department and foolish students said they didn't want our police. Crime escalates. Lock up thugs, dump City Council and serve and protect our communities. We need police.
Welfare babies their whole lives,what do you expect ??
First reduce the police, then crime goes up, then people feeling unsafe then government offer safety programs you accept then they got you where they want you under surveillance not just the bad boys – EVERYONE!
NO SH*T.
Amen God bless you form jay and happy holidays and new year
Proud member of the LGBTFJB community… you vote for what you get snow flakes and Biazuos
Isn’t this what you all wanted? This is the outcome of turning violent thugs into saints and demonizing the people who serve and protect you. Maybe Ilhan Omar will help you by taking away everyone’s 2nd amendment rights. This is what the Democrats did in Chicago and theres no crime at all there. Right?
Ignorance is bliss, till it shoots you in the face.
Those college students aren't very smart. Pick someplace safer.
Well, better get those student Social Workers to work their beat!
DEFUND THE POLICE — isn't this what democrats wanted???
Keep voting this garbage in Minneapolis residents, it's your own fault.
Thanks, leftists on the city council, who have turned our city into a Wild West. Especially Lisa Bender. Keep voting these people in and nothing will change (Bender is leaving the city, from what I hear).
Tough to add police presence when your officers are walking off the job since nobody is backing them…and safety ambassadors program! Haha! Yeah okay, students are going to help police it?
No way I would be going there for school, 60% increase? No thanks.
Hard to believe how bad it is…the guy said it best lock the thugs up for longer
Ah Minneapolis! The city where they don't want the cops to kill people they prefer them to kill each other. Problem solved according to city officials! 🙄🙄 😂😂😂😂 Who keeps voting for these people? 😂😂😂
Re-elect all the Democrats Minneapolis.
That seems to be working out SO WELL!!
(idiot voters)
You people wanted to defund the police. Now a lot of them if not most of the veteran officers have left. I say good for them and to hell with those the wanted them defunded. Don’t complain about it being more dangerous then ever when you all wanted the police out. They’re out, and a lot of the gone so. Suck it up and deal with it. DON’T WORRY,, BE HAPPY ya got what ya wanted.
Don't attend the woke University of Minnesota the tuition is way overpriced. I knew somebody who attended a political science program and got politically radicalized to hate police officers. The very people that the community needs to be protected which are defunded because of dumbasses who attended the same school.
Vote democrats out or expect more crime, more murder and more victims. Expect to be personally impacted. If democrats remain in power things will get worse. They say to suck it up they are defunding police so deal with it. Yet they get tax payer funded private security. Vote democrats out like your life depends on it. It very well may
And what happens when officers do go there? Get arrested and charged with 4th and 3rd degree murder by "jurors?" Whatever.
The guy in green is a white supremacist. Arrest criminals? That's disgusting.
Concealed carry. We just need a few of these perps to get blasted to get them off the streets permanently and to send a strong message.
The crime will stop when people start shooting criminals. #standyourgroundlaw needs to happen.
Well this is what happens when you skip breakfast
This is why I moved to FL. Twin Cities is turning into Detroit.
Why do I keep hearing more police? Defunding and abolishing is not more.
Prosecute the Police! No Justice no Peace!… Stop killing Minorities then we can all live in peace
A camera never put anyone in handcuffs. Lock and load students.
The fallout of "defund the police".
Keep voting like you do, Mpls. You never learn!
Well at least Floyd is off the streets.
U of M endorses it! WCCO reports it. And you read about it. Hilarious!!!!
Of course…..it’s what they voted for! Yea! Communism!
What you all expect? Pro marxist BLM, anti cop metro city. Moronic to be surprised by subsequent rise in crime. Why would any cop work in that bass ackwards city? Disgraceful to police, surprised by crime sprees. Ya all R clueless future Detroit-esque.
Brought to you by today's Psycho dem☭crats.
No way… I would’ve never thought 😱😱
They got what they wanted or voted for.
Police are nowhere to be found. Cops no longer care or have given up. Pathetic and sad. To the police: WTF now you just let criminals run riot because of possible bad media coverage?
