The Minneapolis Police Department last week issued an advisory that the city's residents should be "prepared" to be robbed and comply with the criminals' orders.
Residents should "be prepared to give up your cell phone and purse/wallet" and "do as they say," the advisory said, warning that "some victims have been maced, dragged, assaulted, and some threatened with a gun."
The Minneapolis PD has reported a 46 percent increase in carjackings and a 36 percent increase in robberies compared to the same time last year, according to WCCO-TV in Minneapolis
Members of the Minneapolis City Council want the police department abolished. Socialist Democrat Rep. Ilhan Omar has come out in support of that effort.
