SHORT TAKES ON THE DRIFTING WRECKAGE – OVERNIGHT: 

SHOCKING REVELATION – BETTER POLICING MEANS LESS CRIME – FROM COLLEGE FIX:  The Dinkytown neighborhood of Minneapolis has seen a thirty-eight percent decrease in property and violent crime after an increase in police presence. The neighborhood is a commercial district popular with students and most of the residents of the area attend the nearby University of Minnesota.  “In May 2021, the number of crimes reached a peak of 129 total property and violent crimes in Marcy-Holmes, with the majority as property crimes,” campus paper The Minnesota Daily reported. “Since then, the total of property and violent crimes in the neighborhood have decreased by 49 in August.”  “After extra security measures were taken, the number of crimes decreased to 80 total violent and property crimes in August,” the paper reported. “In comparison to past years, property and violent crimes increased from May to August in 2019 and 2020.”
The boosted presence followed increased complaints from residents, as well as the wounding of three University of Minnesota students on June 19.  The increased property and violent crime as well as the shooting of students did not stop some UMinn activists from opposing the police presence.  Please don't tell President Biden about this progress.  He gets upset so easily.
