I remember as a kid asking my parents "If you know they're drug dealers then why don't the police get them?" and they said something like "Cause there are not enough police" or "there are too many drug dealers to deal with" and I just couldn't wrap my brain around how people could openly and obviously break the law with no consequences. Then to imagine some 20+ years later it's gotten even worse.
The police profit extremely well off turning a blind eye to the problem. We live in a surveillance state right now. They know who and what is on the streets but use that knowledge to increase their gains. Sad.
I"m old. It's far worse than it used to be. Dozens are on/around Lake Street on Blaisdell and 1st Ave, 31st Street these days, 24 hours. That's new. But, yeah, what you say is true. The poor will always be among us. There's more of them now, unfortunately mostly illegal/undocumented immigrants nowadays. Anyone who says different just wasn't/isn't there.
He’s a loser. His cops don’t show up when there’s violence. He hasn’t patrolled not once. He’s a DEI hire. He doesn’t have a successful career in law enforcement.
@user-jp4tl9zd8n I live in Minneapolis and I've never heard as many gunshots in my 37 years of living here as I do now. Not even 10 years ago it was a much better city with alot less crime.
Been here on and off since 92. Lived in a lot of different places. Best place so far. Then again I'm white and the black people I hang with aren't hoodlums so no black on black crime for me.
@@BENSTACKIN365 I'm a liberal person and I ride the train and the bus 🚌 and some places in MPLS isn't safe. In February of 1997, was raped in MPLS and ended up in the hospital 🏥 in north Memorial hospital 🏥. One time on the light rail train 🚃🚂 a group of young people called in false bomb 💣 threat on the light rail I was on October 31, 2008.
This is the same issue at the "homeless" encampments. Drug gangs we fought off in the 90s have returned with new faces, Somali and South American gangs...the cartel is here too...thanks to our insane liberal policies and our radical Marxist city council! We MUST defeat this madness and take our city back!
Those damn trains - they have brought nothing but crime and violence to the cities. Either people are being run over by them or something nefarious is going on. They are a waste of money and very few people actually ride them. What a joke and waste of time.
Minneapolis, this is happening every day in Louisville KY as well. I hate it for the ones who want to have a safe city. Things are out of control and our world is disgusting.
Light rail is a drain of taxpayers money. If you had to pay the actual cost for your ticket to keep it financially viable, good luck with keeping it going.
Wow crime on lake street that's crazy i would've never thought that would happen in such a nice neighborhood. You know with all the homeless and drug dealers that the police are not dealing with.
No one… absolutely No one wants to get off on the Lake Street exit. That area looks worse than the Gaza strip. Come on….do something…remove those tent squatters and stop that D line
It really bothers me when people talk about American culture. American culture has been disappearing for years, with the black culture taking over. It is not good. Even the language has changed - when did we start using “at” at the end of a sentence? I’m a teacher and it is hard to correct kids when the other teachers are talking that way!!!!
Tell it, brother. Don't look away.
Good cop. You can tell.

It takes a lot of choices to end up here.
Or they are drug dealers themselves

You kick them off Lake, and they just move to the Franklin & Cedar Riverside stations. This is a constant cycle along this route
It's Minneapolis' unique way of recycling.

Not true liar. The bus 🚌🚐 and light rail trains station 🚉 and yes it started getting worse on the crime in Minnesota and MPLS Police officer.

@@browngreen933 because the chief himself is Black 🐈⬛🖤 Man 👞♂️ what do surprise 🫢 about that.
Clean up the open drug market
We can't let MSP turn into something like Portland or Seattle.
Chief's 100% right. Also, pretty sure at least 5 drug deals happened in the background while filming this.
🤦

Everyone is safe, duh bad guy got duh other bad guy
Jesse the vacuous Ventura got us here
Nope, Chief ur dead wrong.., its the Godlessness of our whole system that caused this massive uptick in pathetic behavior.
Thanks captain obvious!
So the new crime initiative to rid crime on lite rail not going well.
Light rail is a drain of taxpayers money. If you had to pay the actual cost for your ticket to keep it financially viable, good luck with keeping it going.
I would of Went of Lake St to take the bus to Loring Park. But now that I have seen it all. Will not go to this station until it is safe.
None of it is safe. 🤷
@thomastherriault8632 OK. Let's Hope it gets better. I'm a light rail fan since I was 5. Started going on the train by myself since April 2024.
Its never really safe. You keep your eyes and ears open when you are out and be safe, okay.
You will be in for a long wait.
Male blk! Brave
Free Chauvin🎉
Free an Evil White man who murdered a Black man in cold blood?
Nasty place
Sad they got swarmed by gangsters.
Wow crime on lake street that's crazy i would've never thought that would happen in such a nice neighborhood. You know with all the homeless and drug dealers that the police are not dealing with.
But hey... Defund the police, ammirite? Smh... The fall of Minnesota and it's sad.

Minnesota is a shit-hole!

Black male 26 traveled through that station many a time it looked like the enterprise from new jack city
Ghettro Transit.
Drug dealers hanging out all the time. Odd that the crackerjack Minneapolis 5-0 isn't on top of this situation.
Black culture is so cool 😂😂😂😂
