Apparently to good people of Minneapolis are fine with this, they voted for the same politicians that created this mess. They can continue to live with it.
... but, how pitiful is it when you have to start deputizing your transit authority officers?

That state voted Democrat, and MSP in particular, voted heavily Democrat.
They get whatever they deserve at this point. If they want to defund the police, go full blown socialism, whatever, they can go right ahead.
Ilhan Omar got 64.5% of the vote in her district.
I’m beyond caring about anything that happens in Minnesota.
It’s time for Republicans to just stop caring about states that don’t want to help themselves.
Yep, I don't care. 90% of the time the problems you have are the problems you create.
They can fix their problems if they really wanted.
So now defunding police isn’t working, they have to request more money to bring in outside police. Crime is way up. 500 residents have been wounded by gunfire. It sure sounds like defund was a failure. And now they have to pay for many police that have PTSD claims and other for retirement.
The problem is not defunding the police.
It's all the officers on leave -- a shortage of resources.
Those police officers 'on leave' have to be paid.
The police force needs to replace those officers who are abusing the system and it takes money.
You should be denouncing a union that allows officers not to work and still get paid...but oh no -- that would deflect from you conflating the need for more resources/funding with some kind of policy of defunding.
There is no defunding policy that resulted in more police being needed.
The policy isn't the problem.
It's the officers on leave. Read the article again....slowly.

Who agreed to that policy? You agree to something, you live with the results.

How do you know those cops are "abusing" their leave when you don't know what kind of leave (sick, vacation,FMLA) they are using?

Have they even put any policies in place yet? I don't follow it but it seems pretty quick to have it up and running.

Who agreed to what policy?
The City Council put it on hold.
