By the way just to tell you how astronomically violent the cesspool of bad leadership and apathy of bad leadership Minneapolis is. Colorado Springs my hometown which has the around the same population as Minneapolis. Colorado Springs had 12 homicides in 2005 compared to violence-infested Minneapolis usually has usually 40-60 and even has had 90+ in a year before!!!!!!

My hometown of Birmingham, AL regularly sees 100 + homicides a year and has 232,000 people. Compare that to 372,000 in Minneapolis, a city that has slightly less in raw numbers. Detroit is considerably worse than Birmingham, a city that consistenly ranks as one of the ten most dangerous in the U.S.
90 homicides a year in any city is way too many, but it should not be a reason for fear. It should be a reason for action, however to say that Minneapolis is becoming the next Detroit is simply pure exaggeration.
