Minneapolis is returning to its long-forgotten nickname: “Murderapolis.”
It has now been revealed that in 2020, Minneapolis’ deadly crime rates surged to historic highs.
Last year places only behind 1995 for the highest number of murders.
So far, 2021 is on pace to be another deadly year.
In fact, many officers fear that 2021 could exceed 2020 as well as 1995.
And what’s the Democrats’ response to this?
They still want to “abolish the police,” beginning with Minneapolis.
If anyone wonders why we REJECT woke culture, this is why.
The consequences are clearly dangerous and deadly.

One of the sad parts is the the U.S. media is not covering the truth.
Why?
Because it devastates their narrative.
We have to go to the UK to get the truth.
According to the Daily Mail:
Violent crime is surging in Minneapolis with homicides last year spiking to the second highest levels ever as the COVID-19 pandemic and protests in the wake of George Floyd’s death devastated the city.
Of the 5,426 violent crimes recorded in Minneapolis last year, 83 of them were homicides, according to the city’s police crime statistic data.
It is only the second highest number of homicides since 1995 when a record 97 homicides were recorded.
Violent crime is surging in Minneapolis with homicides last year spiking to the second highest levels ever as the COVID-19 pandemic and protests in the wake of George Floyd’s death devastated the city.
Of the 5,426 violent crimes recorded in Minneapolis last year, 83 of them were homicides, according to the city’s police crime statistic data.
It is only the second highest number of homicides since 1995 when a record 97 homicides were recorded.
That record 1995 figure resulted in the city being branded ‘Murderapolis’ by national media.
Violent crime was already trending upward in the first half of last year but it really started to spike after Floyd was killed by Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin on May 25 – sparking widespread protests and a movement to ‘de-fund police’.
Crime rates this year are already surging.
So far in 2021, there has been 1,398 violent crimes, according to police crime statistics.
Twenty four of the violent crimes in the first four months of this year have been homicides.
Last week, there were 107 violent crimes reported across the city, which is up from the 60 that occurred in the same week in 2020.
Police in Minneapolis are already predicting a return to ‘Murderapolis’ this year.
‘We’re gonna blow Murderopolis off the charts this year,’ a Minneapolis police officer told journalist Michael Tracey in a report published on Substack.
Officers say they have noticed a spike in gun violence and that more people than ever seem to have guns.
The city’s gunshot detection data shows more than 24,000 bullets were fired across Minneapolis last year.
In the week following Floyd’s death last year, nearly 1,400 gunshot were recorded across the city.
More than 550 people were wounded in shootings last year, which includes fatalities, according to the data.
More than 80 percent of those shot were black and 62 percent of the total number were from Minneapolis.
The number shooting victims in 2020 was a 100 percent increase compared to the year prior.
Carjackings spiked to 375 last year, which was up 331 per cent from the same period in 2019.
Authorities have said the spike in violent crimes comes down to the COVID-19 pandemic and the unrest the city faced in the wake of Floyd’s death.
Some police argue it is down to the police department’s resources being stretched thin given the widespread anti-cop attitude since Floyd’s death.
Back in February, it was revealed that Minneapolis was planning to spend $6.4million to hire dozens of police officers, at a time when some City Council members and activist groups had been advocating to replace the police department following Floyd’s death.
The City Council voted unanimously to approve the additional funding that police requested.
According to the Minneapolis Police Department, there are only 638 officers available to work, which is roughly 200 fewer than usual.
An unprecedented number of officers quit or went on extended medical leave after Floyd’s death and the unrest that followed, which included the burning of a police precinct.
As officers from the department started resigning, many claimed it was due in part to post-traumatic stress disorder from a summer of unrest.
Some City Council members have been pushing to replaced the police department with a public safety department that would include law enforcement and other services.
Officers who spoke to Michael Tracey say the attitude towards police and the push to defund the department had led to Minneapolis seeming like the ‘Wild Wild West’.
This crime is happening in the name of George Floyd.
And still the Democrats want to abolish the police.
It is any wonder that BLM and Antifa are as controversial as they are?
We don’t know about you, but after these new FACTS have been revealed, we wouldn’t want to be caught associated with either organization!
In the first month of 2021 alone, the rate of people getting shot in Minneapolis rose 250%, according to WCCO. The city now sports a significantly higher property and violent crime rate than Chicago, doubling the national average in the latter category. https://t.co/oTVlFKE8TJ

The irony is that Black Lives Matter appears to be hurting black business owners the most.
In fact, black business owners in Minneapolis are crying out for help from law enforcement.
The Washington Examiner confirms:
Black-owned businesses surrounding the area where George Floyd was killed in Minneapolis last year say they are in desperate need of help from police.
Black merchants operating on the corner of 38th Street and Chicago Avenue, known as George Floyd Square, are struggling to stay open due to rampant crime and say police have blocked off the intersection, creating a dangerous autonomous zone, according to the New York Post.
“The city left me in danger,” the owner of Smoke in the Pit said Thursday, two days after Derek Chauvin was convicted of murder for Floyd’s death. “They locked us up on here and left us behind.”
Several stores on the block are boarded up, and the New York Post reported that many owners and workers were afraid to comment about the dire situation due to fear of reprisal.
“Look around. Things are empty,” said Richard Roberts, who works at a nearby church. “What can we do about it?”
Left-wing militants have reportedly been patrolling the autonomous zone around the Floyd memorial, and business owners say crime has spiraled out of control as a result.
A GoFundMe page has been created to help the owners mitigate losing 75% of their revenue since the memorial was established.
“Following the killing of George Perry Floyd Jr. and the reduction of the Minneapolis Police Department, there has been uncontrollable crime in this city,” the page stated. “Carjackings have nearly tripled and cars and catalytic converters are being stolen at high rates. Reports of bullets whizzing through the streets, businesses, innocent unintended residence homes, into cars and walls are plentiful. There is constant gunfire day and night, through all seasons despite the belief that winter would slow crime and gunfire it has not! In fact these Black businesses have suffered a similar fate having windows shot out from random gunfire, cars stolen, customers not patronizing businesses due to fear of violence in the neighborhood and throughout the city.”
The page also stated that the black-owned businesses have become a “sacrificial lamb” of the Black Lives Matter movement and that “in the fight for justice we must not forget the fight of economic justice of once thriving community.”
Police have said they are planning to send more support to the area but so far have not, according to the business owners.
It’s time that we return to the policies of President Trump: law and order.
Everyone is treated equally and fairly under the law.
And that’s the way it should be.
