A judge ordered the city of Minneapolis on Thursday to hire more police officers after several residents sued over the lack of law enforcement in the face of a spike in violent crime.
The Hennepin County District Court judge ordered the Minneapolis City Council and Mayor Jacob Frey to “immediately take any and all necessary action to ensure that they fund a police force.”
The judge gave the city until June 30, 2022, to employ at least 730 sworn police officers. They are projected to have only 669 officers after an “exodus” through retirement, resignations, and officers taking extended leave.
A majority of Minneapolis City Council members committed to defunding the police force weeks after the death of George Floyd while in the custody of Minneapolis police in May 2020. more here
Well that will just fix everything!
Who would want to be a police officer there when there’s no support from the ultra liberal city leaders?
It will take more than restoring funding.
I can see the recruitment ads now: “Come join the Minneapolis police. We promise you won’t be brought up on charges if you arrest a person of color.”
The Eve of destruction every night.
Who would want to be a cop when you can’t do actual police stuff, and you may end up in prison with animals that hate your guts?
This problem may be self-correcting when they figure out what they’ve been voting for.
After what the democrat party did to Officer Derek Chauvin, Minneapolis will be lucky to get a single qualified candidate. Every Policeman should have resigned in protest.
The stupid s so thick a chain saw would bounce off.
Reminds me of the old Viet Nam era bumper sticker;: “What if they gave a war and nobody came?”
Why would anyone take a job as Police in a Dem卐KKKratic City, Town or State? They’ll just throw you under the bus…
