Defund the Police Craze in Minneapolis
Minneapolis City Council is in recovery from last summer’s “Defund the Police” craze.
The council yanked a million dollars from the police then. Night followed day and the crime rate surged. So now they’ve approved a half million to try to patch things over. They plan to rent cops from the Metro Transit and the sheriff’s office.
Still, the city expects to “hemorrhage” 145 officers. And the police department faces a $14 million cut in the mayor’s budget proposal.
The Council President is retiring too.
