Crime is on the rise in Minneapolis, as evidenced by the fact that more people died in the city in 2020 than last year combined. Also, gun violence, drugs, robbery, robbery, and intimidation are serious problems. About the situation, the city council questioned the local police chief, Medaria Arradondo, to whom the parliamentarians complained for about two hours.
One council member, Phillipe Cunningham, for example, reported that people ask him what the city is doing. It is very difficult for the police to get to the scene if they are called and told that they do not know what to do because they go from one report to another.
Cunningham, by the way, is in favor of establishing a new community safety agency to replace the police, and has also criticized his comrades for appearing hesitant about their earlier promise of change.
Another MP, Jamal Osman, also spoke about residents constantly asking where the police are. They are security for them and they count on them, but now they are nowhere to be seen.
The downside to this is that the city council itself withdrew support from the police three months ago, and in fact the city council voted unanimously to disband the police and replace it with a community-led security system.
This has not materialized yet, but the police are dismantling them one by one, so there is less and less, but more and more work. That is why a situation may arise where the police cannot go everywhere or not on time.
There are still signs that the city needs policemen, despite being so loud in the early summer demanding their disbandment as a result of radical left-wing protests.
By the way, two recent polls have found that support for Black Lives Matter is waning.
A poll was conducted by Pew Research, which found that 55 percent of respondents showed some support for the movement, up from 67 percent three months ago. The number of strong supporters of the BLM has also dropped, to just 29%, down from 38% in June. The decline is mostly seen among Latinos and white-skinned people.
And support for the BLM is already waning from black people, just as there is support for the Democratic Party. For example, a video recently appeared in which a black man talks about people not paying attention to lies about racism. According to him, those who share this view create a problem that doesn’t even exist anyway.
