Following the death of George Floyd during an arrest in Minneapolis, a lot of people turned anti-police very quickly. It wasn’t just being critical of the officer’s actions during the arrest, but they were critical of law enforcement in general.
It sparked the whole “defund the police” movement and did so right there in the city. Now, it seems Minneapolis is still reeling from the ramifications of that.
Telly Blair was among 93 people who were murdered in Minneapolis last year, city crime data shows. That’s just a few shy of the total killings in 1995, when the city earned the nickname “Murderapolis.” (Neighboring St. Paul witnessed 38 murders last year — a historic high.)
