Just Make It Illegal to Arrest Blacks: Because Blacks Commit the Bulk of Loitering and Public Urination Crimes in 19% Black Minneapolis, Push to Decriminalize Nuisance Crimes Underway Tags:

CURRENT EVENTS

Because blacks in Minneapolis engage in criminality activity deemed nuisance crimes at rates dwarfing all other races, such crimes must be decriminalized. This means loitering and public urination must be decriminalized, because the only people who get arrested for this nuisance crime in Minneapolis are black individuals.

The chair of the Minneapolis Police Conduct Oversight Commission says she plans to propose a vote to decriminalize some nuisance crimes in the city.

Abigail Cerra says based on newly obtained data which she believes shows racial disparities in misdemeanor arrests and citations, she will propose a vote during the commission’s November 9 meeting.

In a city that is 19 percent black, data provided to the commission by the Minneapolis Police Department shows 85.2 percent of loitering arrests and citations are among black residents.
