BREAKING NEWS – Minneapolis, Minnesota – The Minneapolis Police Department (MPD) told residents they should “be prepared” to hand over their phones, wallets, and purses to robbers. “Be prepared to give up your cell phone and purse/wallet,” the police said in their email, a copy of which was obtained by Alpha News. The email said citizens should listen to criminals and “do as they say.”
The MPD has reported a 46 percent increase in carjackings and a 36 percent increase in robberies compared to this same time last year, according to WCCO. Police in the city’s Third Precinct alone have received more than 100 reports of robberies and 20 reports of carjackings in just the last month. Officials are now telling residents to be ready and willing to comply with the demands of criminals in an email sent to Third Precinct residents.
The Minneapolis City Council who wants to abolish the police, put out a statement commenting on the email sent by the police. “The cops are now using unfair fear tactics, simply because they know we plan to get rid of them. They stated that citizens handing over their phones, wallets and purses to criminals as a robbery, but we refer to it as a coerced donation”.
