Minneapolis City Council members, who just two months ago moved to eliminate the police department, sounded the alarm during a Wednesday meeting about a surge in crime seen by their constituents.
Council members pressed police Chief Medaria Arradondo about the uptick in crimes that included daylight carjackings, robberies, assaults, shootings and street racing.
“Residents are asking, ‘Where are the police?’” said Council Member Jamal Osman, noting that constituents’ calls to the Minneapolis Police Department have gone unanswered. “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.
I hope they do not focus on fixing the fire department next.

They probably think its okay to have fires, as long as theyre calm and peaceful.
The police will come to arrest you, when you use a firearm as a way to defend yourself from the criminals.
Arradondo said about 100 officers have left the department or have taken a leave of absence since the start of the year, which is more than double the typical number of officers who either step down from the department or are inactive that year, MPR reported. In July, the council took several steps toward dismantling the city’s police department, including approving an amendment to remove $1 million from the police department and reallocate it toward the health department to hire “violence interrupters” who are intended to defuse potentially violent situations.
And PoS thinks that means they don't have any cops at all. . .
:lol:
herp derp!
That's nice, PoS.
You should probably read the things you post before you post them, because this was another epic fail of a stupid thread.
LOL stop lying. Quote me where I said there are no cops around in Minneapolis. I dare you. You think you can get away with your usual librul BS because youre you?

i'll never forget the CNN reporter saying "even though that building behind me is burning, the protests have been largely peaceful."
:forehead smack:
No, really, actually read the article this time.

So now youre chickening out again? This is what you first claimed:
You claimed I thought there were no cops in Minneapolis.
So youve been caught lying again, which is what you always do.
Herp derp fail on Mr. P
I so love debating you, since proving you wrong is super easy! :mrgreen:
No, really, actually read the article this time. All they did was move a million in funding. Anything else were simply things they said they wanted to do, but didn't. They're only down 50 more cops than they usually would be.
This is a nothingburger, but you bit. That's what happens when you only read the title because it sounds like something that lines up with the hyperpartisan idiocy buzzing around in your head all day, like a swarm of perpetually pissed off but rather stupid bees.
It quotes one person saying they got queries about non-responsive police, but that “This is not new,” Bender said. “But it is very concerning in the current context.”
Does PoS know what "not new" means? No? Well let's help PoS understand it. PoS, it means that this is not something that only suddenly started to happen after the mere million dollars was moved out of police funds, something you idiotically concluded was defunding of the police.
Did the bolding help? Worth a shot.
:2wave:
tl;dr
Police not defunded. Unresponsiveness an old issue. PoS catastrophically and hilariously ****ed up again.
So I guess the question is how come the "violence interruptors" have failed to interrupt violence.
Maybe the answer is that carjacking and shootings occurred in a non- violent manner.
Your very first post in this thread was a blatant lie:You Trumpists really need to try harder to read the words on the page. The police were not defunded, they're only down 50 cops relative to the norm, and the lack of repsonsiveness by police is a long-standing complaint.
PoS swallowed a nothingburger and is idiotically (and desperately) trying to run victory laps to cover over his fail.
And PoS thinks that means they don't have any cops at all. . .
