Minneapolis, once known as 'Murderapolis,' faces a surge in violent crime while grappling with the aftermath of the 'Defund the Police' movement that gained global attention following George Floyd's murder in 2020. Despite residents rejecting the 'defund' initiative last November, the city struggles with a depleted police force, heightened crime rates, distrust in law enforcement, and challenges in solving homicides. Efforts are being made to improve public safety through a combination of police reform, community engagement, and innovative programs to address the city's safety concerns.
