DailyKenn.com — Members of the Minneapolis city council have "blood on their hands" due to the increase in violence after the death of career criminal George Floyd and the subsequent effort to defund the city's police.
That is the opinion of a city resident and business owner.
"What this city looks like today compared to two and three years ago is startling," he added according to foxnews.com "And so this election, we got to get it right, and we have to vote for the greater good. We have to vote for what’s best for everybody in our community."
"They saw a whole different kind of opportunity," Jay Ettinger said of council members who called for the defunding of police following the George Floyd protests. "They saw an opportunity to take down a system and they’ve got a lot of blood on their hands right now because of it."
Ettinger’s comments came after the city’s council voted unanimously to approve $6.4 million in additional funding for the police department. The city backtracked on its original push to defund the city’s police department after residents begged the city to hire more officers, citing longer response times and increased violent crime.
