"What's causing the increase? You can't put your finger on one thing," he said.
It could be a lack of officers or not enough funding for afterschool and truancy programs and social services for teens, he said. There are also economic issues and "just too many guns on the streets," he(Rybak) said.
yep, those darn guns just up and about randomly shootin' people.
Enjoy your 'sanctuary city' ,loser.

Yep, The last time I was in Minneapolis, about 5 yrs ago, I had my Police Scanner with me and there was about 5 additional calls waiting for each officer in the downtown area as they tried to handle the call they were dispatched on previously. Stabbings, shootings, and fights, etc. on a Friday night/Saturday morning & my buddy, who lives there, said that was typical for the area!
I was glad I lived in Iowa! No offense meant to my friends in Minnesota!
How many Katrina refugees did they take in...

I'd look at the burgeoning "immigrant" community for answers. Start with the Somalis. These PC losers will never publish the ethnicity of the criminals in their midst.
To: Rakkasan1
All of those problems are getting worse in Minneapolis???
Sounds like it's going to hell.

Minneapolis is a sanctuary city in a state with great welfare benefits. Wonder if that could be part of the problem? No, it's probably those Scandinavians.

Isn't Minneapolis a "Sanctuary" city, and what percentage of this crime increase is attributable to illegal aliens? The reason there is no mention of this is because it's politically incorrect to mention such things in the MSM.

Are you sure about the Somalis? (sarc) My liberal sister in law from Mpls. told me they do not use up the welfare and come here to work and add to the economy.....I also tried to tell her that many ER's are closing because of all the non pay immigrants using them as their only source of health care...She said she had not heard that covered on the news (they love CBS)....needless to say I love my sister in law but denial is part of the liberal way of life

There are three main ingrediants: (1)liberal mayor afraid to deal agressively with the crime (2) liberal city council afraid to deal agressively with the crime (3) liberal welfare programs that are attractive to immigrants and transplants. Together, they make a dangerous witch's brew that feeds the bacterial growth of drugs and crime.
Liberalism has its knife on the throat of Minneapolis.

Wish he'd fallen out and cracked his skull with you having to swerve out of the way to keep from running him over. That might've inspired me to buy the Red Hammer and Sickle - Man falls out of car mock threatening a driver. Dies on contact.
