As Homicide Rates Soar In Minneapolis, City Council Members Now Say 'Defund The Police' Was Never Their 'Framework'

A pair of Minneapolis City Council members are claiming "Defund the police" was never part of their planned "Framework," just days after a vote to slash nearly $8 million from the department's budget while homicide rates have soared in the city.

Last week, the Minneapolis City Council voted to "Redirect" $7.77 million from the police department and toward other programs.

Just two months after voting to defund the police, other Minneapolis City Council members were dismayed over a surge in violent crimes - which Fox News reports include daylight carjackings, robberies, assaults, and shootings.

Ahem the Minneapolis city council members who pushed to defund the police are wondering where they are during the city's time of need.

The Minneapolis City Council's efforts to defund the police should serve as a cautionary tale for voters heading to the polls in January for the Georgia Senate runoffs.
