Violent crime has surged in Minneapolis in the year since George Floyd's death, with the second highest number of homicides EVER as the pandemic and protests
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]
  • Of the 5,426 violent crimes recorded in Minneapolis last year, 83 of them were homicides, according to the city's police crime statistic data

  • It is only the second highest number of homicides since 1995 when a record 97 homicides were recorded

  • That record 1995 figure resulted in the city being branded 'Murderapolis' by national media

  • Violent crime was already trending upward in the first half of 2020 but really spiked after Floyd was killed by Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin

  • Crime rates this year are already surging with 1,398 violent crimes reported

  • Twenty four of the violent crimes in the first four months of this year have been homicides

  • Last week, there were 107 violent crimes reported across the city, which is up from the 60 that occurred in the same week in 2020

  • Police in Minneapolis are already predicting a return to 'Murderapolis' this year
