Months after caving to riotous mobs, the members of the Minneapolis City Council are complaining about the city’s crime surge and insisting they never really meant it when they voted to defund the police department.

Councilman Phillipe Cunningham says the defunding measure is “up for interpretation,” the New York Times reports, and now the council’s majority has “interpreted that language differently.”

Council President Lisa Bender claims, “Our pledge created confusion.” Maybe she’s confused, since she’d earlier been accusing cops of intentionally avoiding making arrests or otherwise enforcing laws...

The lack of intelligence in the Minneapolis city council isn't up for interpretation - they are idiots.

Ironic that Somali Central is now home to a hotbed of crime.

Love that immigration!

Hey! There are still a few of us humans living here.

Damn dirty apes!

I would like to see a council member accompany every social worker sent out to a reported active shooter situation that arises. I’m sure they could de-fuse the situation.

Some of the BLM types are finally realizing the Dems played them for chumps: they got free rein from the Dems as long as they were politically useful to accuse Trump of being a racist and causing chaos. Now that they think they've won, BLM is a liability and will be dealt with accordingly.

Somehow they thought issues of police brutality in municipalities run be Democrats for decades were a caused by Republicans. Just shows how stupid they are.
