Minneapolis activist whose granddaughter was shot dead says city needs police
Fox News
A Minneapolis activist whose 6-year-old granddaughter was killed by a stray bullet in her mother’s car outside a McDonald’s is pushing back against calls to defund the police, according to a new report.
Wilson, a 53-year-old anti-violence activist who has worked to get kids off the streets and support families stricken by violence for nearly two decades, told the Daily Mail Thursday that defunding the police "is the craziest thing I’ve ever heard." "I can tell you this, if I was a criminal, I would support it," he added. "I would love it." But he’s a pro-peace advocate, and he says communities facing staggering violent crime need police around.More Related News
