Ex-NYPD detective: Rise in crime in Minneapolis is 'self-inflicted'
Minneapolis is experiencing “self-inflicted wounds” as it pertains to the rise in crime, retired New York Police Department Detective Pat Brosnan told “America’s Newsroom” on Thursday as the city’s police department reportedly grapples with short-staffing. “The city council, they were harboring a fantasy and masquerading, actually, as law enforcement experts and felt that they would be able to somehow defund the police, minimize the police involvement in deterring crime and somehow this wouldn’t happen, this violent uptick in gun violence and associated crimes,” Brosnan said.
