Minneapolis Police informed residents of the city’s embattled 3rd Precinct to prepare for the giving up of their personal belongings to potential robbers and advised them to do as criminals say for their own safety.
According to a July 28 email the Minneapolis Police Department offered “prevention tips” to residents hoping to avoid being a victim of the skyrocketing cases of robbery and carjacking that have plagued the city since George Floyd’s death in May.
“Robberies and Carjacking’s [sic] have increased in our Precinct,” the email begins. “Cell phones, purses, and vehicles are being targeted. Some victims have been maced, dragged, assaulted, and some threatened with a gun. Most of these crimes have occurred north of 42nd St. E. 100 Robberies and 20 Carjackings have been reported to 3rd Precinct Police in July alone. Downtown and Southwest Minneapolis have seen an increase as well. We want those who live and work here to be safe!”
The email goes on to list several tips that citizens can supposedly use to protect themselves, which includes letting criminals have what they want:
Do not walk alone
Be hyper-aware of your surroundings at all times – pay attention!
Carry only items you need, and carry less cash
Be prepared to give up your cell phone and purse/wallet
Have keys already in your hand as you approach your car
Despite all our efforts, robberies may still occur! Do not argue or fight with the criminal. Do as they say. Your safety is most important!
... more republican dumb ass-ism.
You know, JHU72, as you belittle the heightened dangers of cities now as Democrat mayors side with anarchists, untold number of people who need to get to work, who like to work, no longer feel safe getting to work. More often than not, these are young ladies of color, of faith, honest people, scared to travel because the cities they live in are no longer safe. This is the real life results you diminish because Orange Man Bad. Disgusting.
YAWN. More blowhard bloviation.
Minneapolis looks like Beirut in the 70's. Good on you dems.
The muslims living in minneapolis wanted it to seem more like home I guess.
Anyone disagree?

What “white” means has its roots in what freedoms and liberties are extended to you (global use of the word “you”. Not personal). The defining term originated in the late 1690s for the sole purpose of extending freedoms and liberties for one group and restrictions for the other. There is lot of case law as to what defines “white” or colored, negro or black etc. it wasn’t something people came out with of the air. It was a legal construct.
EDIT: I “steelded it” from the post below.
Yup.
