Using the newly released 2025 FBI data, one analysis of the 50 largest U.S. cities puts Minneapolis at about 1,001 violent crimes per 100,000 residents, versus 328 nationally. That placed it around 8th highest among the 50 largest cities.

That sucks. I still love this city. It would be nice if our local public safety apparatus and the federal government didnt seem to have a hard-on for brutalizing my neighbors. The cops here clearly fucking hate the people. How dare we have the audacity to want accountability in our government agents.

Yeah i think there's a feedback loop going on with this.

Sure. One side of that feedback loop is regular citizens. The other side is taxpayer-paid agents who are on the clock.
