MINNEAPOLIS (FOX 9) - With violence in Minneapolis on the rise, more and more people are shouting with frustration that it has to stop. Now, a war of words has unfolded between Ward 4 Councilmember Phillipe Cunningham and Mayor Jacob Frey.
Cunningham posted a letter to the mayor on his Facebook page, laying blame on the mayor for not having a plan to stop the violence. The letter reads in part, I cannot try to solve this gun violence all by myself. We cannot wait until we have 600 more officers or even just the 200 who have left since last year before something is done. Why are Black lives in north Minneapolis not being prioritized urgently?
