'Defund the police' mecca of Minneapolis overrun with violence, ‘failed leadership'

[jbycho 630]

Soros' plan seems to be working great. 

Series of shootings in Minneapolis last week left 6 dead, 5 injured in just 24 hours

A string of shootings in Minneapolis last week left six victims dead and five others injured in just 24 hours, highlighting "the results" of "years of anti-police rhetoric and failed leadership," 2022 Minnesota attorney general Republican nominee Jim Schultz told Fox News Digital.

The April 29 incident was the first of six shootings in 24 hours that left a total of six people dead and five others injured, police said, adding that investigators are determining if some of the shootings are connected.

"Minneapolis, sadly, is experiencing the tragic consequences of years of anti-police rhetoric and failed leadership from the Minneapolis State Council and the lunatic county prosecutor of Hennepin County in which Minneapolis sits," said Schultz, a father of four and president of the Minnesota Private Business Council. "When city officials demonize law enforcement and slash police budgets and refuse to prosecute the criminals, the results are bought on the streets."

Particularly, after George Floyd's murder by police in 2020, Minneapolis became "ground zero" for the "defund the police" movement, Schultz noted, adding that public sentiment toward police and officer retention hasn't been the same since.

"Years later, police staffing is still down," he said. "We still have half the police officers that we need. Morale is shattered and criminals feel emboldened because, originating out of that defund-the-police movement …the county prosecutor in Minneapolis, Mary Moriarty, is one of the [George] Soros-funded, hard-left prosecutors who has embraced every policy imaginable to undermine public safety."

Schultz said Moriarty is "aggressively pursuing law enforcement" and "electing to ... dismiss cases that give lenient plea deals to individuals who had committed serious violent crime, and otherwise embracing a variety of very woke policies, like taking race into account in sentencing guidelines and otherwise."

The suspect in Tuesday's mass shooting, for example, has a lengthy criminal history.

Hennepin County records show Ortley was allegedly involved in a crime spree that resulted in a Minneapolis resident being shot through his bedroom window in February, but the district attorney ultimately denied charges for the 34-year-old, as the Star Tribune first reported.

I knew Mary Moriarty.  She is partially responsible for the "Plain Feel" doctrine of cases.  She once plainly felt my throbber.  I was taken aback as I thought her a lesbian.  It went no further than her grabbing it while she was drunk, I think out of disgust since it came to be as i was slow dancing with what I sort of presumed to be her date.

Unfortunately, the "defund" movements don't always cut funding, just staffing. 

So these cities have the same amount of money to go towards LEOs, but people don't want to BE LEOs.

A young white college student was murdered by a black career felon the other day in South Carolina. He broke into her rental she was sharing with friends for the weekend.  I wish the worst on every judge and prosecutor and parole board that went easy on this POS.

Couldn't have happened to a more deserving set of citizens.  This is what they voted for, so I'm not seeing a problem here.  The only thing we need to do is enact federal legislation that says if you're a Democrat and you voted for this type of sh#t and behavior, you can't move away until it's all been cleaned up.

Stayed in downtown Minny last year for a wedding in a so called nice area and we were told not to leave the hotel walking anywhere.  It was a mess.

Things have changed in the 40 years since I lived there.  I think Fnord lives in or near the Twin Cities.  he could offer some insight.  I have not seen him around in a while.  I hope all is well with him.

It turns out that Minneapolis isn’t even in the top 30 in murders.

Not only that but multiple cities are having their least dangerous year in a long time. This following one of the lowest crime years in decades.

Remember 2020? I doubt it. All liberal's minds were wiped clean of that freaking fire bombing "protest" debacle.

And go tell your "facts" to the families of the murdered people.

Gangs in the twin cities is a major problem dude.

I was vacationing in beautiful Austin, TX last week with a group of close buddies and punched out of normal life while away from work, wife, and kids. It was glorious eating my weight in BBQ and Cajun food and drinking my weight in Lone Stars, which I normally wouldn't touch but when in Rome...

I live near the Twin Cities and visit often. I spend very little time in downtown Mpls unless attending a show or game. Over the last 30 years, nearly 10 of which were spent living in Mpls, I've only ever feared for my safety a couple of times, and never downtown. The TC are generally very safe in my experience. This sounds like more alarmism from people that are scared and intimidated by cities in general or have an axe to grind, like the useless twat that posted it. You can cherry pick stories like this from any major city.

Yes I recall 2020 quite well. I'm just pointing out Minny doesn't rank statistically.

When you stop prosecuting criminals crime rates will fall.

That stat is murder rate. Murder rate is not based on convictions.
