Minneapolis City Council alarmed by crime surge after defunding police
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... 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...
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.
The Minneapolis Police Department’s crime data shows a rise in assaults, robberies and homicides, as well as property crimes and arson, according to Minnesota Public Radio. More people have been killed in the city in the first nine months of 2020 than those slain in all of last year.
So to recap-
A. "We hate the police. We don't need them. All in favor of defunding them say 'Aye'"
B. Just two months later "Crime has increased and the police are the only public safety option for our citizens"
C. "Where are the police?"
