Minneapolis ‘Disband the Police’; Council Members Using Private Security
look:
No, seriously, The City of Minneapolis is spending $4,500 a day for private security for three council members who have received threats following the police killing of George Floyd, FOX 9 has learned.
A city spokesperson said the private security details have cost taxpayers $63,000 over the past three weeks.
The three council members who have the security detail – Andrea Jenkins (Ward 8), and Phillipe Cunningham (Ward 4), and Alondra Cano (Ward 9)– have been outspoken proponents of defunding the Minneapolis Police Department.
Can’t imagine why they wouldn’t just get police protection.
Maybe if we can talk Lileks down from the bell tower they will feel safer.

Which Mark Steyn is currently reading aloud for members of the Mark Steyn Club!
Oh my! Perfect.
Yes but their existence acts as deterrent as we see in Seattle and Atlanta
