Minneapolis In Chaos
As was predicted, Minneapolis police officers are quitting the department in droves. At least seven officers have already resigned and at least seven more are in the process of doing so. This comes after the city council decided to disband the department. Precisely what will take its place if anything is not known at this point.
A police spokesman tried to downplay the departures by saying that people leave the department all the time. While people leaving employment for a new and different job is not unusual, the question is who will replace them? Who would want to become an officer in the MPD at this point in time? There is no future here with the department being disbanded.
