Could anyone have predicted that defunding the police in a high-crime area would bring about unpleasant results? I’m pretty sure everyone on the right understood this. The left is slow to come to grips with reality, though. So much so, that I don’t think they’ve actually realized the extent of the damage just yet. Some wealthy neighborhoods in Minneapolis aren’t waiting to see just how bad it can get, though.
In a report from the Minnesota Post , wealthier neighborhoods have formed nonprofits and started crowdfunding campaigns to pay for additional police patrols in their areas. These neighborhoods are taking advantage of a program known as “buyback,” which pays for officers to work shifts they otherwise wouldn’t be working due to budgetary constraints. “Officers working a buyback shift patrol in MPD vehicles, respond to 911 calls, and deter criminals–just as they do in a normal shift.”
Wait a second… Police deter criminals… NO WAY!
The Minneapolis Safety Initiative, a 501(c)3 nonprofit started by citizens of these neighborhoods, takes in donations from residents to pay for these extra shifts, which reportedly cost approximately $110 per hour per officer.
Another effort to pay for extra police presence is similarly asking for funds via the website GiveMN.org, but the Mill District Public Safety Project fund has only managed to bring in $4,830 as of writing this.

We Often Feel Like David Taking on Giants
Today’s Goliath is the Mainstream Media Industrial Complex that brainwashes the masses.
Our mission is very straightforward: To counter the false narratives and nefarious agendas destroying America today. It isn’t easy for obvious reasons; despite incredible growth over the last year we are still a very tiny fish in a huge media pond. But we’re fighting and we will continue to do so, Lord willing, for as long as we possibly can. The battle for America’s present and future is too important for us to back down to the giants that stand in our way.
We need help. I don’t want to say “desperately,” but the need is definitely great. If you have the means, please donate through our GivingFuel page, PayPal, or our Substack page. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to get the truth to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
Thank you, and God Bless!
