Because blacks in Minneapolis engage in criminal 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.
Data sheds light on racial disparities in arrests in Minneapolis, Fox 9, October 27, 2021
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.
Sixty-one percent of people arrested or cited for public urination were black, while 22 percent were white. Public consumption and disorderly conduct had very similar figures.
Cerra said being jailed or convicted of such nuisance crimes is a gateway into a problematic court system. She believes by de-criminalizing these minor offenses, offenders could avoid entry into the criminal justice system.
She would like to propose a motion to decriminalize loitering and public urination, and possibly other nuisance crimes. If approved by the commission, the motion would go to the city council to consider for a vote.
Because black individuals collectively break the law, the law must be replaced to accommodate black individuals who collectively break the law.
When you lower standards once protecting civilization, pretty soon you are going to be seeing large swaths of previously thriving civilization occupied by loitering black individuals who engage in public urination without consequence.
