MINNEAPOLIS POLICE TO LOCAL RESIDENTS: You're shit outta luck.
As far as a long-term plan I don’t have one. I have lost 30% of my street officers since the end of May. Budget cuts from COVID-19 and an additional 1.5 million from the council in August we have let go 17 CSO’s and canceled a recruit class of 29. A potential Cadet class slated for January of 2021 was also eliminated. It takes about a year to get a police Officer onto the streets with hiring, backgrounds and field training so reinforcements aren’t coming anytime soon. We are doing everything we can with what we have. I hate to see great businesses like yours and the rest of your corridor being victimized and feeling unsafe. Please let me know if you have any more questions.
And even after you get rid of the City Council you elected, it'll take us years to rebuild....
IT DIDN'T TAKE LONG: The Democrats' Supreme Court freakout.
SOON, I'M AFRAID: "So at what point, faced with assassination attempts, do the police go rogue and form their own death squads to neutralize their enemies?"

And my inclination will be to back 'em.

RANDOM THOUGHT: 'Nuance' should be banned from the political lexicon. 'Lie' is stronger and more accurate.
