Huh, u don’t say? I wonder where we’ve heard this before, years before? many times before? Minneapolis needs a true reckoning with itself the residents as well as the politics, particularly the comfortable residents

Had to laugh at the relatively innocuous but indelible copaganda in the lead grafs here. IIRC Mols was the last Mn city PD that had a mounted patrol. You’d think they might mention that. www.startribune.com/mounted-poli...

After more than three decades, the last horse patrol unit in Minnesota has stopped clopping through the streets.

I’m reading the newest missive from @mollypeonies.bsky.social and flames are shooting out of my ears. www.thisisbydesign.com/how-mpd-buil...
MPD records reveal a coordinated system of drones, city cameras, command-post intelligence, body-worn and helmet cameras, person and vehicle checks, and evidence preservation around the memorial site — part of an operation that generated $1.92 million in overtime in just four days. At least 101 MPD personnel were assigned to the memorial deployment, where records identified only seven people holding vigil.

Be so for real. MPD is consistently wasting their funding on unnecessary resources and taxpayers are funding their settlements for illegal actions. But the Star Tribune chooses to publish a story on saving MPD’s horses that are not making our city safer.

If Jacob Frey cannot get his police department, over which he has 100% control in our strong mayor system, under control and under budget, then he should resign. He should resign.

“Biden and Democratic governors and mayors proposed and, in many cases, passed bills named after George Floyd. These dramatically increased funding for policing and prisons under cover of fake reforms like community policing, body cameras, and professional training.

Philanthropy (Minnesota philanthropy especially) is a system that sets up a bunch of struggling people and orgs beholden to rich folks piddly giving, and then resents them for being beholden on the that same set up. it is tedious.

Jacob Frey called it “structural change” in MPD - understand, they are both full of shit. Their “dramatic reforms” are also horseshit. They are literally just saying anything, meaning nothing.

I am extremely troubled by the amount of standby pay issued to MPD officers during Operation Metro Surge. MPD data shows some officers were paid nearly 24 hours per day for 32 days straight, while dozens were paid 8-12 extra hours each day while we stood out in the cold protecting our neighbors. 1/

It's amazing how the convo about public safety, the police never have to produce any evidence of efficacy, on any particular level, and folks who irrationally scream for more police, despite police lack of proving, those voices get elevated when we need a rational convo the most.
