Minneapolis has been back in the news lately.
For starters, there's this blockbuster about tax dollars being ripped off and "ending up in the hands of Al-Shabaab, an al Qaeda-linked terror group," via Fox News:
A new investigation found that Minnesota taxpayer dollars were going far beyond the North Star State's borders and ending up in the hands of Al-Shabaab, an al Qaeda-linked terror group.
Ryan Thorpe and Christopher F. Rufo of the Manhattan Institute uncovered a web of fraud involving Minnesota’s Medicaid Housing Stabilization Services program, Feeding Our Future and other organizations in a bombshell report. Thorpe and Rufo noted that, in many cases, members of Minnesota's Somali community were perpetrators of fraud. They added that federal counterterrorism sources confirmed that millions of dollars in stolen funds were sent back to Somalia, which is how Al-Shabaab got the cash.
Thorpe and Rufo sought to answer a bigger question when looking into the schemes: "Where did the money go?"
Uh ... well obviously, U.S. taxpayer funds were fraudulently and illegally funneled to mooslim terrorists. A travesty facilitated for you by the inept buffoons of the Biden Banana Republic.
In another crime-related story, the Minneapolis police chief appears to have been informed that his recent comments about perpetrators of crime in the city has offended the Somali community and others. The criticism of the chief's remarks are summed up in this paragraph of a letter to the editor of the Star-Tribune:
As a Somali and a social worker, I am deeply concerned about the recent public comments by Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara referring to “groups of East African kids” involved in youth crime. These remarks have had a harmful impact on the Somali community. Even if they were intended to describe specific incidents, the language used creates broad and negative associations between Somalis and criminal activity. Because “East African” is commonly understood to refer to Somalis in the Twin Cities, such statements reinforce stereotypes that already burden the community.
Hmmm ... if you do not want the reference "groups of East African kids" to accurately and truthfully apply to your Somali community, then you, as the leaders and parents of said Somali community, should be doing everything you can (which you are not) to prevent your Somali youth from rampantly committing crimes in Minneapolis, you whiny schmuck.
Chief O'Hara then apologized for anyone who was offended. His apology had to be translated for some who don't speak English:

Sorry, Chief O'Hara, but speaking the truth is NOT something for which you should issue an "apology." You need to surrender your man card and resign in disgrace.
"Sorry for my honest analysis of who's perpetrating certain types of crimes in our city" is peak Minneapolis progressive.
Fusilli Spock (@awstar11) ~ Unforgivable for police to investigate and expose crimes!
"UNFORGIVABLE!"
The problem isn't the criminals you see, it's that the police are noticing. Maybe the Minneapolis PD won't make that mistake again.
Bonchie (@bonchieredstate) ~ He literally has a Somalian translator while he apologizes for enforcing the law. This is insane.
Amy Curtis (@RantyAmyCurtis) ~ So, the Somalians own Minneapolis now, huh?
It's sure starting to look that way.
