> the entire department’s response is to stop doing their job.

This is one hell of a claim. Can you share some good sources that verify it?



No. I live in the area and there are places near Lake Street that police simply won’t go to unless it’s a violent crime in progress. One councilman from south Minneapolis, before George Floyd, mentioned that in his district police took their time to respond to calls and when they did show up told people to thank their councilman. They didn’t like his calls for greater police accountability and this was done in retribution. There are links in the comments regarding how police hold cities hostage when they are held accountable.
