Proactive policing in Minneapolis plunged dramatically following the murder of George Floyd last year, even as violent crime soared, a new analysis reveals as the city prepares to vote on a ballot initiative to abolish the police department. In the year following Floyd's death, traffic stops in Minneapolis plunged 74 percent, patrols of known problem areas were down 76 percent, and stops of suspicious people plunged 75 percent, according to a Reuters investigation.(Snip)One officer said that some Minneapolis cops even deliberately take a longer route than necessary to respond to 911 calls, in the hope that whatever the emergency is, it will be resolved by the time they arrive.

What we all need is not better quality policing but better quality citizens.

Saint Floyd is just the right spiritual leader for the gangsta culture. The dindu-nuffin crowd needs a martyr of this ilk.
Between rampant abortion and 9mm violence the Black problem may very well solve itself.

This was pretty clearly going to be the future of Mogadishu-on-the-Mississippi when they railroaded an innocent officer who did nothing outside of his training and called him a murderer.
Enjoy your crime festival, folks. YOU all created it, and until you change, criminals will run rampant.
Zero sympathy. All my sympathy is with Officer Chauvin, none at all for the evil leadership that put on his corrupt show trial in their kangaroo kourt.

The Washington 'elite' kneeled for George Floyd...but did nothing for the 13 Marines recently killed. The U. S. is paying dearly for it's sin. Period. BTW, you do not have to fact check the last statement.

To rebut this commie propaganda article - George Floyd was not murdered. His career criminal drug addict thug life was ended by an overdose of illegal drugs after he was arrested in the act of committing yet another crime.

this is not being pressed by the locals, for the most part.. even the lefties..
it is a SOROS funded attempt to destroy the cities.. coming to you..
https://minnesotareformer.com/2021/02/03/soros-backed-political-group-gives-500000-to-campaign-to-replace-minneapolis-police-department/
"A newly registered group called “Vote Yes 4 Minneapolis” reported a single $500,000 donation to campaign for a proposed charter amendment to dismantle the Minneapolis Police Department and replace it with a new department under the control of the City Council.
The massive contribution for a municipal election came from progressive activist billionaire George Soros’ Open Society Policy Center, according to campaign finance documents. "

Who would even answer a 911 call if it could be an ambush?

Considering the downside of responding to a call (getting killed, being railroaded for a crime so that there isn't another riot, but there still was another riot anyway), I might take a few extra minutes to respond and think through what I would do. And screw the traffic ticket quota.

FTA: Earthman and others complain that even with shootings soaring, the police are frequently nowhere to be seen.
'They don't care anymore,' she said. 'They're just going to let everybody kill themselves.'
The police were vilified by community leaders, activists, politicians, tv talking heads, so why exactly should they care anymore?

Not to mention the hundreds of cops who left little Somalia and will never come back. I'll bet Chauvin now wishes he had taken a longer route in his ill-fated meeting with George Floyd. Go ahead, defund the police, give the looney leftists exactly what they want.

Did some strike duty in that city way ,way back...It was lovely...the skywalks connecting downtown buildings were a real work of art as well as the art in the rotundas in the major buildings...haven't been back since, and don't plan on going...

Chauvins knee was on the side of Floyd’s neck, not the front where it would have shut off his breathing. But they had to have someone to burn at the stake didn’t they.
Burn MInneapolis! Burn!

If I were a police officer I'd find a donut shop to hang out rather than enter #BLM-#Antifa controlled zones. Any community that tolerates lawlessness is not worth risking your life or your job.
Minnesota should be sold to Canada for whatever they offer.
