A wealthy Minneapolis neighborhood crowdfunded $210,000 to pay the city’s police department for extra officer patrols amid a skyrocketing crime surge.
Extra patrols were dispatched to Lowry Hill, where more than 40 percent of residents earn six figures, after the community raised funds to pay cops $107 for each hour of overtime they worked.
The community requested additional police presence after Minneapolis saw increased violence and criminal activity after an outcry over George Floyd’s murder prompted the woke city council to cut $1 million from the police department.
