Be very careful what you ask for.

[Zathras]

Proof you really can be just a bartender and be qualified to write laws.

[MNGal]

Unbelievable that they would complain about this! Isn’t this exactly what they wanted???

[CrappieLuck]

Police will be there to arrest a homeowner if the home owner brandishes a weapon in self defense.

“The Minneapolis City Council called on Minneapolis Police Chief Medaria Arradondo to address constituents’ reports of increased street racing, carjacking, robberies, assaults and shootings.”

Which he did: “Hiya, guys!”

Minnesota is solid Trump on Election Day.

[MileHi]

Talk about tone deaf and lacking self awareness. For Petes sake.

[1Old Pro]

the sucking sound is the suburban law and order vote moving from sleepy joe to Trump.

[Seruzawa]

The police do seem to be able to show up if some victimized citizen tries to defend himself, though. And arrest him.

[gr8eman]

So? They (citizens of MPLS) voted for it every time they had the chance and will continue to do so!

[caww]

Well...they dismantled their police department.....did they think THEIR bad guys would just stay nice and quiet? Idiots! That was like putting out a sign reading.."Help yourself!"

Duh!

[Mount Athos]

Council Member Jamal Osman said his constituents are asking, “Where are the police?” and informing him that calls to police are going unanswered.

The article should have mentioned that Jamal Osman only started on the council a couple weeks ago. He wasn’t there when the council moved against the police.

[gr8eman]

Nope! Try again!

[alloysteel]

You reap what you sow.

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

I gues the citizens of minneapolis are getting what they wanted and deserved. Bwaahahahahahaha. Leftist losers and their lib fellow-travelers are getting what they wanted. LOL. More popcorn!!! Nitwits are often entertaining in their idiocy.

[Texas resident]

The police chief called the comments “troubling to hear” and promised to discuss the issue with the commanders and heads of the precincts.

Well I guess that fixes the problem then.

What’s the word for groups that terrorize people? It’s escaping me.
