Brazen robberies and car thefts, often in broad daylight, highlight a growing problem across the city. According to Minneapolis Police Department crime data, there have been 2,170 stolen vehicles this year through July 26. That’s a 46% increase over the same time period in 2019 — when 1,485 auto thefts happened.

A few of these Dim cities were really nice I think, about 30 years ago?
Oh well, enjoy!

Keep voting Democrat.

Just think about how bad it gets once they really have defunded their police.

Hmmmm, I wonder why?...............

After his interview, our camera caught a road rage incident involving a baseball bat at the corner of Franklin and Nicollet Avenue.

This incident during the daytime

This is the money quote. Even simple statistics can be manipulated but when a camera crew randomly filming on a corner happens to see a violent crime right in front of them, you know this is real.

And by the way, I recommend watching the video. It's not the nature of the violent crime, it's the brazenness that is a hallmark of a total breakdown in public order.

Reduction in law enforcement and increased crime. Boy, they didn’t see that coming. Any idea what the problem is? /sarc

Sometimes, correlation DOES both reflect and impact causation. Directly and sometimes in disproportionate ratio.

I've seen a local TV news camera man turn off his camera and stop filming rather than document the out of control behavior of a leftwing activist. It didn't fit the "peaceful pro-choice" narrative.

According to Minneapolis Police Department ...

Minneapolis still has a police department?!

“What we’re hearing again and again is people don’t want less public safety, they want better public safety,” said Steve Taylor, a south Minneapolis resident who moderates the Uptown Crime page. “When (City) Council has their own armed security and community members are being robbed at gunpoint often in broad daylight, that just seems unfair”

Gee, maybe worry less about the cops and more about who you vote for.

Send in the social workers.

Having cars sit in the same spot for days at a time makes them easier to steal.

Police - can’t live with em, can’t live without em.

Whatever will they do in Minn?

They don’t highlight a growing problem, a meaningless sentence. They are caused by the decisions of the corrupt administration. The same one that gave material support to the cop who murdered Justine Damond. The same one that will not support their cops.

People have places to go,
and they can't afford to wait for an 'uber'.

The concept of private property is too white....
