The Minneapolis Police Department is advising residents of the city to Be prepared to give up your cell phone and purse/wallet if approached by robbers, and Do not argue or fight with the criminal. Do as they say.
The robbery prevention tips were circulated by the department and reported by local ABC affiliate KSTP-5. They advise that the city is suffering an increase in robberies and carjackings, especially in the 3rd Precinct the area of the city in which George Floyd was killed in police custody on Memorial Day, and rioters destroyed police headquarters.
Others posted the tips on social media:

Other cities have reported dramatic increases in crime, including shootings and murders, since the Black Lives Matter protests and riots erupted.
One Minneapolis resident who refused to give in without a fight was 99-year-old Evelyn Johnson, who fought with an intruder: He thought he was just going to cover my mouth and smother me, but that didnt happen. I fought him. We wrestled for quite a while, according to all my bruises, she told KSTP.

Minneapolis still has a police department?!
Or you could exercise your 2nd amendment right, and go Bernie Goetz on the criminals.
The only thing the residents should give muggers, carjackers, etc. is their ammo at 1500 ft./sec.
how are these police?
this is a “cheese” department sheep/enablers.
it’s called wealth re distribution.
City Council backpedaled on defunding the department. Probably got an earful from the residents, I think it was all virtue signal stunt.
They will rearrange some deck chairs, fire some important police office staff, and come out with some 15k publication to cya themselves and call it “change.”
‘Women Shaping the Future’? God Almighty forbid!!!
“Vibrant Community” = Fair likelyhood you may be beaten, robbed, raped, or killed.
Was that the advice they gave the passengers on Flight 93?
and those who enable support or protect them
They can have whatever they want, right after they explain what they want to my friends Mr. Smith and Mr. Wesson.
“Vibrant Community”=Little Mogadishu.
What if they want to kill me? Do I agree with them?
"Be a good witness."
Suppose they dont want to leave any witnesses alive?
If you follow local chatter....most of this crime is within a 3 mile circle of the former 3rd Police Precinct station (4 miles north of the airport).
It would appear that the city is pulling back assets out of the area, and just marginally patrolling the area. I would suggest that most business operations in the circle will give up by summer of next year, and it becomes like Detroit.
For the remainder of the city....it wouldn’t shock me if militia groups started to form, and homeowners stock up on weapons.
F that s. Shoot em in the face.

if anyone asks me for assistance or food money I always try to provide something (as my parents taught me to do). if it looks like I can really help them in some serious way, like with medical or job search or housing, I am happy to to at least try to contribute more time money and energy (its difficult, at least I have found it so, since so many of these people have psychiatric, sociopathic, and/or drug or alcoholic addictions... I lack the skills to deal with any of these kinds of issues, alas)
but
if anyone tries to just take take anything by force from me, he won’t get it
the right of self-defense exists in EVERY society I’ve ever studied in all of human history. no DNC Democrat Nazi Communist politician will ever take our rights away from us in USA
