‘Do not argue or fight with the criminal — do as they say,’ reads police email
The Minneapolis Police Department told residents last week that they should “be prepared” to surrender their belongings to criminals and obey their commands.
With Minneapolis experiencing a 46% increase in carjackings and a 36% increase in robberies compared to this same time last year – thanks to the far-left city council all but defunding law enforcement – MPD has issued a citywide email warning residents not to resist the emboldened criminals.
“Be prepared to give up your cell phone and purse/wallet,” the police said in their email, adding that citizens should listen to criminals and “do as they say.”
Notably, MPD makes no suggestion for residents to exercise their Second Amendment right to self-defense.
South Minneapolis resident Steve Taylor, who moderates the city’s Uptown Crime page, pointed out the hypocrisy of the Democrat city council protecting themselves with private armed security while stripping the city of much-needed law enforcement.
