Minneapolis officials are considering bringing in officers from other jurisdictions to help the city’s Police Department as they face a wave of violent crime and an officer shortage.

“We’re not gonna be having these people out taking bicycle theft reports. These are going to be people out combating crime issues,” said John Elder, a spokesman for Minneapolis police.

Mini-nap-olis can’t hire BLM to do the local PoPoing?
Let me guess - from Somalia?
Betting its the Muslim police.
Who us going to want to join that clown show? (Minneapolis. Not the police)
“Minneapolis to consider bringing in outside police officers amid shortage,”
Outside police officers...”FU”.
I thought they wanted to defund the Police?
Tailor made jobs for rookie policemen?
I ask, because I’m guessing that is what’s going to happen.
When you are new to a job, you’re less likely to say no.
Who the hell would want to work for them?
WHAT?? Why aren’t they hiring social workers? I thought they were going to “re-invent” or “re-imagine” policing.
What police officer in their right mind would want to work in that hell hole.
Lots,of LEOs from Portland and Seattle looking for new jobs. Something tells me Minneapolis is at the very bottom of their lists.
Yep first I want triple overtime then I demand complete immunity form prosecution by your fascist DA. Other wise "FU".
It’s probably been posted already and no, I did not look.
You would be a COMPLETE IDIOT to work their as a police officer. There are officers charged with murder. The city council and the district attorney and the mayor will hang you for doing your job.
Maybe they will release prisoners due to overcrowding or reasons related to the virus and then make them into cops.
Why in the world would the Hennepin County Sheriff or the Transit Police want to get their officers involved?
Both agencies should just say they can’t spare the men.
Indeed. I would laugh if asked.
They built this house of cards, let them fall where they may.
