Allow liberalism and leftist policies to be carried out to their logical conclusion and this is what happens. After Minneapolis, Minnesota decided to adopt a ‘Defund The Police’ posture, violent & property crime skyrocketed. Now the same city council that voted to disband the police, are voting to spend more money hiring 200 police officers….
(UK Daily Mail) Minneapolis is planning to spend $6.4million to hire dozens of police officers, at a time when some City Council members and activist groups have been advocating to replace the police department following the death of George Floyd.
The City Council voted unanimously Friday to approve the additional funding that police requested. According to the Minneapolis Police Department, there are only 638 officers available to work, which is roughly 200 fewer than usual.
[…] The city was plagued by soaring violent crime last year – with homicide, robbery, aggravated assault, burglary, theft and arson all up on last year’s figures.
By the end of the year, police had recorded 532 gunshot victims, more than double the same period a year ago.
Carjackings spiked to 375 by December, up 331 per cent from the same period last year. And violent crimes topped 5,100, compared with just over 4,000 for the same period in 2019. (read more)
It will be more than that if you figure in the cost of unemployment for all those newly unemployed social workers!
Why get more police when they will only defund them later? The calls to defund occur as soon as the police start making a dent in the crime rate. Minneapolis politicians are pro-crime.
Nothing quite like a dose of reality.
I am shocked. You mean that getting rid of the police would cause an increase in crime? Who knew? Only those who have half a brain.
Has it occurred to you that those hired by Bolsheviks to carry arms are an enemy?
Minnesota is likely the dumbest state in the US
No, the democrats in the state are. The big cities vote overrides the rural and this is what we get. The funding will come from increased taxes putting MN in the top 10 highest taxed.
Here’s the latest. New rules for husband and wife fishing license requires BOTH to show up with drivers license and social security numbers. If you think that’s inconvenient for a simple fishing license, you can do it by phone or online, with an extra fee. The DNR claims this new rule is simply enforcing the 1974 SS act that requires SS number when applying for recreational license. The reason is to help find people trying to get out of child care payments. Nowhere does the law require both people to show up in person but that is what our dear leader mandated. 35 years of buying this license and never had to bring the wife!
So, the requirements for a combination fishing license are stricter than voting registration. That only requires name, address and one or the other of drivers license or LAST 4 DIGITS of SS. It just seems the new rules are meant to force everyone online and to pay more fees so they can bail out the Minneapolis clown show and NOT enforce laws about looting, property damage, assault, speeding, and expired tabs on cars.
Get rid of the City Council!!!Vote them out. Use their salaries to hire Police.
What are the consequences to the City Coucil members who are voting to spend more money hiring 200 police officers, after the same city council voted to disband the police? NONE !!!
The same consequences as for the people who decided to certify a clearly fraudulent election !
Looking for a reason why it is a very bad idea to give a prize to everybody who participates in a school competition rather than just to the winer; sadly from early age people are though that there is no difference between doing something right or doing something wrong or doing nothing at all.
Maybe it’s just me but has anyone else thought what might be going on here is.. get regular law enforcement to quit , retire early etc.. then start “hiring” Antifa type thugs to replace, voila lefty police force ?..
Now ya know, what they knew! Antifa workers needed employment as they were running out of things to burn and destroy! Walla!! Police Office trainee? Taxpayer funded?
Hey, but Rape went down…c’mon man, ya’ll just can’t understand these things.s/
So they got rid of the ‘old’ police and are now recruiting ‘new’ police…
Could this all be planned? Are they creating Maobama’s ‘Civilian Police Force’, which will be just as well ‘Funded, Trained and Armed’ as our military? Are they just copying Himler’s tactics from Austria? How many of those US State Dept/ISIS trained Antifa thugs will now be given badges and legal authority?
What about all the people leaving the cities for the suburbs?
– Could that also be Maobama’s AFFH plan to ‘Urbanize the Suburbs’? Will the destruction of the cities tax base be the basis for ‘Regional Tax Authority’ where the suburbs are incorporated to pay the lost tax revenue to the cities? Will the increasingly wealthy billionaires buy up all the property in these now destroyed ‘Opportunity Zones’ within these emptied cities and rebuild the cities in the mold of Chuck Schumer’s/Agenda 21 ‘Livable Communities’ plan for high-rise/gov’t controlled living – much like the new ghost cities being built in China?
While relatively few people are aware of “The Law of Unintended Consequences,” it seems that Democrats are either
(a) really unaware of “The Law of Unintended Consequences,” or
(b) count on it in order to bring chaos, and use the chaos to bring about new measures of controlling people.
Neither are good.
Any word yet on whether Mohammed Noor will be released from prison and offered his old job back?
Jolly coppers on parade once again in Minneapolice. Bad news for the freaks. Will they take to the streets?
