FORT APACHE MINNEAPOLIS, PART 2, AND ANTI-POLICE ANIMUS: Powerline continues to report on “the dramatic rise of violent crime in Minneapolis.” The post, written by Powerline’s Paul Mirengoff, reminds everyone that in October — before the election — the Trump Justice Department offered to help Minneapolis police “through a special partnership program.” Minneapolis Police Chief Medaria Arradondo supported the offer. At the time –before the election– Mirengoff also reported that Minneapolis’ mayor and leftist city council were quite unenthusiastic about receiving help from the Justice Department.” Did DOJ’s October offer get major media coverage? Of course not. Mirengoff concludes that the mayor and council rejected aid out of “raw anti-police animus and sympathy for violent criminals.” I think that’s right. Will Minneapolis’ mayor and leftist city council be held responsible for their inflammatory and destructive virtue signaling that has produced the rise in violent crime? That responsibility lies with Minneapolis voters.
