Today, and for the last month or so, politicians have been grandstanding and pontificating on our rampant crime problem and what they plan to do about it. We challenge them to actually DO something that matters, not just talk.

Remember, it’s an election year.
Every seat in #MNLEG and MNSEN is up for re-election, as is the governor and several other key public safety related positions (attorney general, some county prosecutors, some county sheriffs, etc.).
Tell them all that public safety matters.

Decades of failed criminal justice policy implemented on every level of government in this state - that does not prioritize real public safety, but instead has become more and more lax and lenient in favor of feelgoodery for criminals - has come home to roost.

The crime explosion is being fueled by radical activists seizing upon the pandemic as an excuse to empty jails and prisons and further weaken criminal accountability.

Minnesota criminal accountability has become more lenient and lax over the last several years. #MN has one of the lowest incarceration rates in the US. Prosecutors are charging fewer crimes. Where's the proof that any of this is making law abiding people safer?
