Minneapolis resident: City council has ‘blood on their hands’ for defunding police
Fox News
A Minneapolis resident and business owner said Tuesday that members of the Minneapolis City Council have "blood on their hands" due to the increases in crime after the city’s police budget was cut in the wake of George Floyd’s death.
Ettinger’s comments came after the city’s council voted unanimously to approve $6.4 million in additional funding for the police department. The city backtracked on its original push to defund the city’s police department after residents begged the city to hire more officers, citing longer response times and increased violent crime. Ettinger told "Fox & Friends" he is not surprised by the public outcry for more police funding.More Related News
