The Twin Cities population is by far the largest population area in the state, and the elected offcials of Minneapolis and St. Paul are leftist stooges who are more concerned with criminal elements being allowed to run wild than maintaining law and order.
The rest of the state is far more conservative.
In lieu of the recent beating of a white guy by a group of black thugs, Mayor Frey is far more concerned that the police be pushed down and given less authority to control criminals.
The heads of the educational systems in both cities are radical as well.
The comments of any offcials from the Twin Cities should be taken as coming from people who think Lenin wasn't radical enough. They're all leftist tools.
