Minneapolis Residents Who Sued City for Defunding the Police Win in State Supreme Court

Democrat Policies Continue to Drive Businesses Out of San Francisco
In California, they let you out of jail and then let you steal other people’s stuff. The result has been a gold rush of thefts in places like San Franciso, where you can steal up to 950.00 worth of whatever is on the shelf, and no one will stop you, arrest you, or prosecute you.
