So what happens if most of the police quit all together
Don't believe me??
Well you would be wrong
Almost every front line police officier would like to quit his job
Do you blame them
The captain yells at you
City council yells at you
Demonstrators yell at you
The media yells at you
Because you simply can not do your job
The only reason many have stayed this long is because they don't have enough yrs for a pension
I worked with alot of police while in the reserves,most of them were jerks. They created their own mess,now they have to live with it.
as we all know by now, Minneapolis wants to totally abolish their police department.
Just read that in a 2-hour time period they had 8 shootings. Go Minneapolis, go!. This is going to be an interesting year!
In many cities they are now talking about "defunding" the police
What really should be "defunded" is Congress IMHO
Defunding the police in Minneapolis. Exactly the opposite of what they need!
The area, also known as East Town, was part of the nearly two-thirds of the city's 81 neighborhoods that saw an increase in overall crime in 2019, from the previous four-year average.
Reported crime is skyrocketing in Minneapolis’ Downtown East neighborhood, stretching police resources and shaking many residents’ sense of security.
Serious crimes such as robbery, burglary and assault rose by 70% last year in the rapidly developing neighborhood compared with recent years, according to a Star Tribune analysis of available police data. An increase in property crimes drove the uptick.
The area, also known as East Town, was part of the nearly two-thirds of the city’s 81 neighborhoods that saw an increase in overall crime in 2019 from the previous four-year average. Meanwhile, 30 neighborhoods — including several in north Minneapolis — saw crime decline or hold steady, the analysis found.
Using Police Department data, the Star Tribune identified the neighborhoods that posted the highest percentage increases in what officials call “Part I” crimes, which break down into eight categories: murder, rape, robbery, aggravated assault, burglary, larceny, auto theft and arson.
Speaking at a recent public hearing, Police Chief Medaria Arradondo noted that such crimes rose citywide last year. Notably, he said, increases in domestic violence “still continue to drive many of our Part I numbers.”
“As we start into 2020, we’re still seeing issues involving gun violence,” he said, while noting that despite the continuing problem of shootings, fewer are tied to gang activity than in years past.
Defunding police for Minneapolis is the complete opposite of what that city needs.
