Violent carjackings have surged in Minneapolis, Minn., in recent months, swelling to numbers that officials have deemed "staggering," according to reports. Carjackings are up 537% when compared to the previous November, according to the Minneapolis Star Tribune. “The numbers are staggering,” said police spokesman John Elder. “It defies all civility and any shred of common human decency.” (Snip) The carjacking crime surge comes amid a spike in crime in the city following the fatal police shooting of George Floyd in May. According to police data, more than 500 people have been shot in Minneapolis this year – twice as many

"the fatal police shooting of George Floyd in May" never happened. Floyd died of a 4x-lethal Fentanyl overdose, laced with amphetamines and supercharged by a chronic heart failure. He is recorded on police cameras telling police he can't breath on 11 ocassions BEFORE he is restrained on the ground with a department-approved restraint technique. The police had summoned an ambulance and were awaiting it as Floyd succumbed to his self-administered lethal drug cocktail.

Minneapolis has the dubious distinction of being America's showcase of anarchy.

They deserve it. Minnesota has been a labor Democrat stronghold since the miners arrived. They deserve to endure the natural consequence of their choices.

Well, George Floyd was a criminal so the increased crime is a tribute to him, encouraged by the city council.

Good. They deserve this for not standing up for the police. You made your beds. Lay in it.

Bet on car insurance companies in the area dropping theft coverage.

If poor David Aaro, the article byline writer, went to journalism school, he needs to request his money back. This moron wrote in the article:... The carjacking crime surge comes amid a spike in crime in the city following the fatal police shooting of George Floyd in May.... Since David is a crack reporter, i guess the editor just skimmed over what was written and allowed it to go thru as written.
Is David auditioning for his next gig at CNN? He will probably get a signing bonus as he is already trained in the CNN slant.

FTA.....
This notion that in order to have a more comprehensive public safety strategy you have to do away with one critical element, which is police, is wrong," Frey said.
Add the word "precinct" after the word "police" in Mayor Frey's comment and he condemns himself.

Sounds like that defund the police program is going to work out just fine. Another city not worth going to visit. The poor people of Minneapolis who either live or work there don't deserve this. But elections have consequences.

They can end this my making it mandatory to leave the keys in all cars. Whenever you need a car just jump in the closest one.

Spent 23 of my 30 years in IT right in the heart of downtown minneapolis. Never felt unsafe at any hour! Now we won’t come within 5 miles of the cities border! The city use to be wonderful for shopping, theatre, concerts, Vikings games, Twins games... it’s all gone now! Poof!

Re #7. They can't remove the theft coverage. It's part of the 'other than collision' coverage. What they can do or will do is withdraw from the market or do a huge price increase. Since Minnesota is a lefty state, the insurance commissioner will probably deny any rate increase "for the public good". Some companies will then turn in their licenses and withdraw from the state entirely. Neither option is good for consumers. Fewer companies means less choice and competition. I have been retired from the insurance business for 10 years but still get a couple of industry magazines. Rumblings have started appearing about companies discussing getting out of certain states and/or refusing to offer certain coverages.

Just wait to see what the crime rate goes to when the trial is done and the cops are exonerated because they did nothing wrong. The cops were immobilizing a dead man walking.

Oh - - so now Floyd was shot.
What's next - - he was drawn and quartered by a hooded white racist mob?
The leftist media lies so much - - that it can't even get its lies straight. DISGUSTING!

Reply 15: Increased auto insurance rates for Minneapolis and Hennepin County will unquestionably be step #1. Withdrawing from the city/county could get carriers in court for racism/red-lining and those courts would certainly agree with the plaintiffs, so I say jack up rates exponentially for the entire state.

I think we’re all kind of losing interest in Minneapolis. Before I retired I traveled there fairly frequently. It is overrun with Somalians. They don’t bathe. Trust me. And in the manufacturing facility I visited they had a large problem with them defecating on the bathroom floor and covering it with paper towels. You can’t make this up. I witnessed it. Needless to say I do not miss those trips even a little bit. They’ve destroyed the city. Let them have it.

Only 537%? Sounds like they should be defunding the police more.

This is excellent news. Nothing like a dose of reality to make one think. I just hope that the gangs of rapists coming in next will target college students.

Wow, Officer Chauvin shot George Floyd as well as choking him. I guess he needed to make sure he was dead. Nice job, Fox. Minneapolis is getting exactly what they voted for.

You're right #1. Somehow the liberals are going to make it your fault and my fault. Personal responsibility has been lost in this country and especially in the inner cities that the dimocrats are in charge of.
