Reimagined policing isn't working in Minneapolis, aka Murderapolis

Someone should tell Jacob Frey and Omar Fateh that their plans for a reimagined police force isn't working. These men who seek to lead Minneapolis need to be shown the truth that timid policing isn't working. Enforcing the laws is required. Alpha News Crime Watch is reporting "Minneapolis marked its 45th homicide for the year early Monday morning, following a shooting near East Franklin Avenue and Elliot Avenue South that occurred about 1 a.m. A statement subsequently released by the Minneapolis Police Department said that a male in his 40s was discovered in the front yard of a residence with life-threatening gunshot wounds after Metro Transit officers heard gunfire in the area. The injured man died at the scene."

When will these ultra-socialists get it into their thick skulls that their anti-policing policies don't work? The MPD statement didn't mention anything about putting a priority on beefing up patrols and preventing violent crimes rather than investigating violent crimes.

In one of the few things that Joe Biden said that made sense, he said "Don't tell me what your priorities are. Show me your budget and I'll tell you what your priorities are." Sen. Fateh's budget defunds the police and shifts that funding to social workers. That's a statement of his priorities. This information is offensive:

The Minneapolis Police Department is currently operating with only about 260 patrol officers, and the department has essentially stopped informing the public about 911 call answering times and police response times, leaving questions about whether the public has given up reporting some crimes altogether due to lack of response and available officers.
This is essentially admitting that fighting crime isn't a priority for Frey. The frightening part is that Sen. Fateh is more pathetic than Frey. In this interview with WCCO's Esme Murphy, Sen. Fathey said that he supports the creation of a Minneapolis Department of Public Safety:

In that interview, he said that "47% of calls" didn't require a police response. Remember that those statistics come from a city with little incentive to tell the truth about real crime levels. It's important to recall that the Alpha News Crime Watch article said "the department has essentially stopped informing the public about 911 call answering times and police response times." What other statistics are getting fudged?

Has Sue Ek come face-to-face with DFL hijinks?

Apparently, Minnesota state and county employees aren't that attentive to details. Last night, a frequent reader of this blog sent me a statement from House Speaker-designate Lisa Demuth, R-Cold Spring ." She issued the following statement regarding vote tabulation errors, malfunctions, and discrepancies that have taken place in Sherburne and Scott Counties: The errors and discrepancies we've seen this cycle are intolerable and unacceptable. A free and fair election demands sunlight on the process. These incidents fuel distrust and raise questions about the integrity and accuracy of election results. Without an opportunity to observe or respond Sherburne County added newly-found votes to the total. Just a day later, Scott County announced an unspecified "ballot distribution error" and "ballot scanning malfunction" that triggered an abrupt re-scan of more than 20,000 ballots. There was less than two hours notice between the public announcement and the be...

BREAKING NEWS: counterfeit ballot alert in Minnesota

How Difficult Should it be to Get a Ballot? By John W. Palmer November 4, 2024 Securing an official ballot for your ward and precinct normally requires registration to vote and either showing up at a polling place or securing an absentee ballot. Ballot security is a cornerstone of an election free of fraud. When the tailgate of a vehicle was left open and unattended revealing a large stack of blank ballots, Minnesotans were appalled. Imagine how you would feel when you learn that all it takes to get a reproducible ballot for your ward and precinct is to download a file from a government website. In Stearns and several other Minnesota counties, imagination is not needed. Right now, all you have to do is go to Minnesota’s Secretary of State’s website and download a file. Go to this website and select “Get a sample ballot”. Then enter your zip code and address and your ballot appears. Now you are able to download the ballot as a PDF file. Once you have the PDF file you can print as many ...

Tim Walz doubling down on Gestapo speech

Image
When Tim Walz, Minnesota's DFL governor, delivered the commencement address for the University of Minnesota Law school, he didn't deliver the typical commencement speech. He delivered a highly partisan speech instead. Gov. Walz compared "federal law enforcement agents implementing President Donald Trump’s immigration crackdown to a Nazi-era political police force." He called ICE agents Gestapo. Let's compare the 2. The Gestapo's mission was to rid Germany of Jews. To the Gestapo, it didn't matter that these Jews were German citizens and had been decades. Thanks to the Aryan Clauses, Jews were considered subhuman and weren't really Germans. That's an awfully racist viewpoint. Is Gov. Walz accusing law enforcement officers of being racists? I.C.E. I.C.E. agents enforce laws that bipartisan majorities in both houses of Congress have passed and that the president has signed. These immigration bills were negotiated between the 2 parties. The Aryan Clau...
