At Least 7 Minneapolis Police Officers Resign – 7 More in Process of Resigning

Overtime will go up
Morale will go Down
Leading to more resignations
Leading to more overtime
Leading to lower morale
Rinse and Repeat.
Death Spiral
Minneapolis PD has about 800 police officers. So it has less than that in street cops. You won't see the chief, assistant chief or some other walk a beat.
Every 8 cops is 1%. So, so far 2% are leaving. The cops within a year or two will stay until retirement. Other cops want to leave, but are looking for others PDs, which are quieter to apply to. Once they get the job, they are moving.
Poor little immigration fraud felon Ilhan Omar complained that 50% of murders are not solved. Solving the case depends in part on people coming forward, funding, manpower and the laws ion the books. Those would be constraints and constraints often determine, if a problem is solvable (tractable) or unsolvable (intractable).
Cupcake felon is going to live in a city with a smaller tax base & rising crime and in part it will be her fault.
All these riots, protests, and covid19 cases are making me wish I had a time machine to go back and tell myself to prepare for 2020.
