Minneapolis Mayor Comes to Striking Conclusion That Defunding the Police Increased Crime
By Brandon Morse | May 12, 2021 11:30 AM ET

Ya don’t say?

Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey is a man who wanted his cake while eating it too. He wanted to kiss up to the Black Lives Matter movement tearing his city apart while simultaneously distancing himself from their more extreme asks such as “defund the police department.”

When that demand was made of him in the middle of a hostile crowd he had been kissing up to that day, to his credit, Frey said no, resulting in his being booed out of the area. What he did end up doing, however, is putting rules on the police that tied one hand behind their back.

As covered by CBS affiliate WCCO-TV, Frey threw down restraining orders against the Minneapolis PD which forced them to seek authorization from the chief when using crowd control weapons, including tear gas. With trained seals within the department’s leadership clapping along with this, and city council members openly planning to dismantle the Minneapolis police department, things were looking bad for the city.

And it did.

Sounds like the Mayor is going to need to do his public announcements by Zoom from an undisclosed location from now on.

Man his mother gave birth to a freak and should have sold it to the circus.
The guy a beady-eyed little pencil neck geek.

PeteS in CA:
The increased crime was as predictable as the Sun rising in the east every morning. The question wasn't whether but how much it would increase.

That's right. It is simple math.
