Hubert H. Humphrey started the decline of Minneapolis and Minnesota in general along with LBJ's Great Society. Like everywhere in fly over country the rural areas are conservative. But, there are very few good jobs and good pay with retirement benefits. That means the twin cities have drawn most of their employees from the country side and from surrounding states. They all tend to be union and leftist democrats.

The bottom line is there are too many liberals and liberals tend to make policing difficult. Why be a cop when the pay and hours are bad and there are literally hundreds of lawyers laying in wait to get a piece of your a$$ in court when they believe you have abused someone's civil rights whether you actually have or not ??? It's that way all over the country but Minnesota and the twin cites makes it extra difficult to spend 30 years and draw that pension. It's not going to get any better. Good luck Minneapolis.
