Woke mobs have left cops too scared to police Minneapolis

[rayg]

How woke mobs have left cops too scared to police Minneapolis since George Floyd's death: Traffic stops have plunged 74% and problem area patrols by 76% because cops fear being unfairly targeted in viral videos - while crime has soared

In-depth analysis shows policing plunged in Minneapolis starting last Jun

Traffic stops dropped 74% and and foot patrols plunged 69%

Cops were apparently reluctant to engage after furor over George Floyd's death

Some even slow down their response to calls in hopes suspects will leave first

But fewer stops meant fewer people being searched for drugs and guns

Residents say the city has become a 'gangster's paradise' for criminals

Murders in Minneapolis are on track to reach a 20-year high

Troll much?

Sounds like a union-organized slowdown.

They don't have these kinds of problems in departments where unions don't call the shots.

No, not the union's doing but the feeling of frustration, lack of support, and personal safety by individual officers!

no trolling,

you were all for it last year, (police reform/reductions,,,, and trolling)


the union may support it unofficially,, but betting this is just the cops protecting themselves,


had a convo last year with a local guy,, most of them are very hesitant to rush into action due to the scrutiny

And we have a "WINNER".

Wait a bit -- let the man think. He'll come up with some reason it's all Trump's fault.

And what if it IS inspired by the Union. Don't Leftists LOVE unions and say they work for the rank and file?

Vern,

it was because of all those mean tweets,

Ray you don't know what the union guys are saying out of the press.

The fact remains, non-union forces don't have these kinds of slowdowns.

Break the police union and you will get some bad years, and then after that things will be much better for everyone including the LEOs themselves.

Basically he is saying that they doesn't know how to do the job anymore.

And yet most cops we agree have found a way to keep going, and in a way that doesn't invite lawsuits or prosecutor attention.

I don't believe this has anything to do with Unions or no Unions, but only how the officers are reacting to the situations...

Has at least a little to do with the union, in that discipline is much harder to apply. Guys aren't dumb, they know they can dial it back and as long as they don't say/write anything stupid that gets picked up by the wrong people, they're okay.

Has Floyd and a willingness by prosecutors to look at incidents with fresh eyes contributed? Some I would say. But the memo on that is read quickly. At this point I would guess some cops are just mad at the changing climate and are acting on that. But not all, and this is an important point.

someone else typing for you?


every city and county in this area are short handed, esp the big city,

the guy I spoke to knew how to do the job, he was worried about the crap equipment (camera's) he was given, and the fact that if something did go wrong, he was facing not just discipline from the PD, but way more public scrutiny than needed by the public,

Welcome to the backlash.
