Did she discover a mirror somewhere? Squad Dem Rep. Ilhan Omar has been more than a little outspoken when it comes to their stance on the police. Dems want them defunded and in some cases abolished entirely. Omar was for defunding the police and felt the Minneapolis Police were “rotten to the root.” So after the police have been defunded across the country and crime is spiking everywhere including Minneapolis, which has seen a 17% increase from last year. In response, Omar is once again back to blaming the police.
“What we must also recognize is that the reduction in policing currently in our city and the lawlessness that is happening is due to two things,” Omar said during a town hall event Saturday in Minneapolis.
“One of them,” she said, is that “the police have chosen to not fulfill their oath of office and to provide the public safety they are owed to the citizens they serve. It’s documented. But even before that, it was documented, The Minneapolis Police Department is the most dysfunctional police department in our state and probably our county.
The second part is that there has to be accountability, and someone that is actually taking responsibility for what the police does and doesn’t do, and that doesn’t exist in this moment. And I do believe that the current charter that we have does tie the hands of those who want to have that accountability. Because we are mandated to have a specific amount of policing we are mandated to you know have the specific kind of police union contract that we have right now. I do not know any other big city in the state of Minnesota that has the charter that we have—”

In Omar’s mind, it’s always on the police, not the liberal leaders who failing the city, and the state. She also doesn’t factor in that the city has turned on the police or how they cut nearly $8 Million from their budget. She bashed police while knowing she has a security detail protecting her at all times.
