Why is crime so bad in Minneapolis? (live in, warehouse)

If we can't even have an honest discussion about who's committing majority of violent crime, why even bother?

Can you cite your source? Thanks.

There are plenty of sources out there. 70%+ of all violent crime in America are carried out by a certain demographic. I'll let you try to figure out which demo...

You cannot cite your source or not willing to cite your source?

Since it might be political in nature, I gave you a link in a rep.


That's just one. There are others. Google I can see now is distorting their search results to filter out those sources they deem "offensive" (or whatever), or they claim it is "white supremacy" to point out the race of violent criminals (which is nonsense because we all know white people commit violent crimes too).

I don't know what link you shared but it's wrong if it says 70% of violent crime are committed by Blacks in the US.
Non-Hispanic Blacks commit about 33% of all violent crime in the US. Almost 3 times their share of the population but less than half what you said. Blacks (including black Hispanics) commit about 50% of murders in the US.

All data are 2018

Thanks.

The source you posted in your rep is one you may want to research a bit more. To say he is biased and controversial is under-selling it.

Disclaimer: I have not bothered to read through 10 pages of CD posts.

But I giggle at the premise of the thread. No, no one with any metro experience anywhere in the world (small to major) considers Minneapolis a hotbed of crime. Not by any stretch of the imagination.

The FBI site is biased. They actually put Latinos who commit violent crime in with whites. That's about as dishonest as it gets.

On an anecdotal level, I watch the news daily. Of all the murders I see on the news here in the TC (and greater MN), the race of the perpetrators are generally pretty consistent.

Do you see a glaring problem with your second link? I'll let you try to figure it out, but it's pretty obvious...

I drove through the Cedar Riverside area recently during the daytime. It looked like a war zone with all the boarded up store fronts. I would not drive through that area at night. I didn’t try driving through south Minneapolis. I’m guessing that also looks like a war zone with boarded up store fronts. I don’t know who would want to live in that kind of an environment. Certainly not a respectable US tax paying law abiding citizen. I’m guessing that those areas are filled with criminals, anarchists, and trouble makers at night.
