According to information reported by the New York Post, the Minneapolis City Council, which voted to end the police department two months earlier, sounded the alarm at a meeting on Wednesday, September 16. City councilors have been terrorized by the spike in crime in the city since deciding to dismantle the police. Several American cities have indeed yielded to the pressure of the anti-racist movement Black Lives Matter, which has demonstrated several times against police violence. One of their demands – to dismantle the police – calls for deconstructing the police institution … or even putting an end to it altogether.

She accuses him, among other things, of no longer enforcing the law or of no longer making arrests in the city: “ This is nothing new “, She reproaches the police,” but it is very worrying in the current context “. Falsely taken aback by such evidence, Arradondo, who has been head of the police department since 2017, said to himself ” troubled by such innuendos And advises him to speak to supervisors in the department. ” We need to make sure our citizens know we will be there », He assures without irony,« that we are going to react because we have taken an oath ”. According to Minnesota Public Radio, more people were killed in the city in the first nine months of 2020 than in the entire previous year.
