going to delete my thread on that "documentary" probably but my big sticking point is not the viewpoints -- everyone is allowed to have those. it's that it was presented as journalism while essentially being an hourlong paid commercial. that is not transparency. that is not journalism.

Minneapolis Shifts $8 Million In Police Funding, But Keeps Force At Current Level The City Council votes to expand other services, including violence prevention and mental health crisis response teams. But, facing a veto threat, it rejects proposed cuts in the police force.

note that $8m was cut in 2020, out of the $179m police budget, and it was just redirected to mental health services www.npr.org/2020/12/10/9...

Minneapolis crime is down โ€” even if it doesnโ€™t always feel that way Producer Gretchen Brown talked with University of Minnesota Sociology Professor Michelle Phelps to try to make sense of the gap in crime perception versus reality.

there's been a rash of recent mass shootings in minneapolis. but crime is actually down. why doesn't it always feel that way? i looked into it. www.mprnews.org/story/2025/1...
