How dangerous is Minneapolis now? The Univ of Minnesota

I am just surprised the president hasn't handled this yet. He is the law and order president yet I see so much disorder...he cleared out that church with the army, paved way for the lord god to bless our nation, can't he go in there and solve it. He says he can, he says he is better at law enforcement than almost anyone.
You guys forget. Trump is first and foremost a business man who understands marketing. Democrat cities like Portland and Seattle are writing the script for him. The term useful idiots was coined for such an occasion as this
 
MPR news just printed an article as a fact check on the defunding of the Minneapolis police force. They say that is incorrect. Less than 1% of police budget was moved to a new agency to assist with violent conflicts at protests. No other changes were made.

I listened to over an hour of the most recent city council meeting. They are in fact going to abolish the Police completely, no it hasn't been done yet but they have EVERY intention to do so. The meeting was all about accusing the Police of having stopped enforcing laws on purpose. Each commissioner had plenty of stories about crime exploding. Of course they deflected the causes, they believe it is because there isn't free housing, free medial care and free food. They say once they usher in utopia crime will disappear.
 
I've never seen anyone more scared of anything than farm boys talking about the *big scary city.* They're just SURE that if they have to stop at a red light they'll be dragged out, mugged, have their F-150 stolen and their butt fingered.

You're at much more risk around the silo and the manure pit, you just calm down and have a nice relaxing chaw of skoal with some High Life and you'll feel all better.

Just hit the ignore button. That is what you like to do with anyone and everyone that doesnt agree with you. Soon you will be only be talking to yourself. Then you can feel like you are right 100% of the time. Win win for everyone

I don't get your hyperbole. I mean, you might have a legit point, but you lose all effectiveness when you come off that way.

Honestly, there has to be some legit concerns with areas of downtown Minneapolis. I drove on I94 on my way to drop off my son at college and when you see burned buildings, graffiti, and broken windows in large areas very visible off the interstate it seems like it may be a concern for some people. Even those of us who are't chaw chewing, F-150 driving hicks.
 
Yes, according to Beav, crime comitted by the rioters is ok since he agrees with them. Never mind the burning, looting, destruction, smashed windows, etc that’s no big deal....if you have an issue with it, YOU’RE the problem.

And since to Beav its bad to be a person who drives trucks and farms, you’re likely a person who drives trucks and farms and you are a total hick if you find anything wrong with whats going on in the twin cities.

Beav is mentally deranged. He’s got the right avatar.

Oh my apologies for introducing hyperbole into this thread.

There are numerous folks on here that make it sound like the big cities are all on fire with looters and rioters, and full of murders. The same with towns with large public universities, and that it's all because of Democratic governments. In reality, there isn't anything going on in about 99% of those cities. And the ones where things are going on is restricted to a small area of town.

A nimrod from Rome, Georgia was trying to tell me about all the murders that were happening in Seattle and Portland by leftists mobs. In reality, Rome's murder rate over the last 5 or 6 years has been about 3 times higher than either city, and still is. The murder rate of Wichita, Kansas is 2-3 times higher than NYC's over the past decade or so, despite 3 of Wichita's last 5 mayors being Republicans.

I think that is the essence of the Beav's comment.

See, that is a much more meaningful post and makes a great point.

It is easy to get caught up with this crap. Sometimes just a calm discussion will help people understand.
 
Pledge your allegiance to a party since the 1960’s and the progress report over half a century later is a national special needs program. Impressive!

Are you going to be ok?

I would say not close. I mean, it’s close in terms of mileage, but the crime isn’t an issue there like Minneapolis.

From my front door to the area where they were protesting and where George Floyd was killed is about 40 minutes by bike and you can probably drive there in 10 minutes or so.

The North end of Henry Sibley's school district is pretty close to where things happened this summer....but still a little bit south and east.

I agree, but the protests and rioting weren’t near there as far as I could tell, and it doesn’t seem as though they have left Minneapolis.

I encourage you to go listen to the most recent Minneapolis city council meeting with the police chief. They represent 100% of the city and every one complained about an explosion in crime in their district.
 
I read the police chief warning citizens to just accept getting robbed or raped. I'm not joking.

That's never been said. For crying out loud some of you will believe anything.

They shifted 1% of their budget to different things. They didn't eliminate the police. I am guessing some of you actually believe that Seattle is an anarchists zone lol.

I believe this was the quote that was being referenced:
'What if, in the middle of the night, my home is broken into. Who do I call?' CNN’s Alisyn Camerota asked.
'Yes, I mean I hear that loud and clear from a lot of my neighbors, and myself, too, and I know that that comes from a place of privilege,' Bender replied.

People are fleeing left leaning areas for right leaning areas . . . to state otherwise is to be self-deluded.

 
is right there. Apparently they defunded the police and now rampant crime is exploding. If I was a Nebraska kid, I wouldn't go there.
My brother lives there. His kids are flourishing in the hybrid model of course work, he has to go dtown a lot, etc. I asked him about this after reading this thread— he laughed at all us ‘hayseeds’.

I don’t think they are too worried up there

My post had nothing to do as to whether or not people were leaving California.

I'm not sure I'd call New York, Virginia, Colorado, Washington, Oregon, and Nevada right leaning areas. Florida is purple. Texas and Arizona are becoming purple.

When they start leaving for the Dakotas, Kansas, Nebraska, or Oklahoma in droves, come talk to us then.

Willing to bet he lives in a mostly white suburb. Ask him when he's planning on moving in with a bunch of Somali immigrants.

New York’s murder rate more than doubled, to 42 murders, from 18 the year before — a jolt of 133 percent. Shooting victims, including wounded, are up 45 percent. Stabbings are up, too.


To be clear: Going back to the early ’90s, New York has never seen a sustained increase of this magnitude. Nothing close: The nearest spike in the early summer month was a short-lived 63 percent hike in 2006, just half today’s increase. And that increase did portend an 11 percent murder hike for all of 2006, the second-highest in three decades.


This isn’t an aberration coming off a good spring. For the year, murder is up 25 percent. If these rates hold, New York would end 2020 with an increase in murders twice as high as we’ve seen since 1990.

If NYC ends up with a 25% increase in murders for 2020 from what they had in 2019, that will come out to 395 murders for 2020. Hell, if they have 100% jump in 2020 over 2019, that would be 636 murders.

They had 2,245 murders in 1990. And no, 1990 was not a 25% jump from 1989.

Quit talking out of your hind parts.

Where I went to school, 395 and 636 are much lower than 2,245.

If you have an issue with the article take it up with the author.

So you're one of those guys that punts when presented with facts. Got it.

I didn't dispute that their murders were up. All I did was point out that if they go up even 100% this year from 2019, that number is still between 1/4 and 1/3 the number of murders that occurred in 1990.

Thanx for admitting they are fleeing the Democrats archetype government.

Do you have a link showing people are flocking to New York, Washington and Oregon?

BTW, as far as purple goes, I think that assumption is based on all the people LEAVING BLUE states for red states. You understand what that says about the blue states, right?

It's from your own video. Did you not watch it? 6 of the 10 states mentioned in the video where Californians are heading to were won by Hillary Clinton in 2016. On top of that, Trump is in danger of losing 2 of the other 4 mentioned on the video.

Watch your video next time, eh?
