Officers ‘fed up with the dangerous inflammatory rhetoric spewing forth from Mayor Frey, Walz and the rest of their ilk’

With Minneapolis, Minnesota, remaining Ground Zero for anti-ICE attacks in the wake of the killing of leftist activist Renee Good by an ICE officer last week, there are now reports that up to 70 city police officers are now seeking paid leave as morale is said to be at an “all-time low.”

“We’re hearing from multiple sources that dozens of Minneapolis police officers (60-70 so far) have turned in paperwork for Minnesota’s new paid leave program,” reports Liz Collin of Alpha News.

“It allows up to 20 weeks of paid leave for personal or family reasons and comes at a time when morale is said to be at an ‘all-time low.'”

On Saturday, Crime Watch Minneapolis publicized an email sent by the police union revealing not only the rock-bottom morale, but also “dangerously low staffing,” difficult working conditions, and having to navigate “shifting political narratives.”
