This week, CrimeWatchMpls entered its 16th year of providing you with critical public safety and livability info you can’t get anywhere else. Crime Watch was launched in Aug. 2010 specifically in response to government secrecy and lack of transparency about crime, in order to provide info to the public that’s being hidden, difficult to obtain, and ignored by “mainstream” media. Sadly, we’ve watched this city, county, and state spiral continuously down the toilet into greater secrecy and lack of transparency, even at a time over the last 5 years when accessible public safety information has never been more important to the public (while our ridiculous media miserably fails to report the truth). It’s government fiduciary negligence, and we deserve better. Crime Watch will continue to do what it can in reporting info you will never get from anyone else, but your voices are needed in contacting your reps on every level to demand an end to the secrecy. Also, we simply must start recruiting better candidates to run for office who will uphold public safety openness and truly represent the people. Thanks for following.

Submitted from St. Paul: "Just had an insane run-in with officers at one of my properties. Last night, the next door neighbor threatened to shoot up my business and my staff. The scary part is this dude is connected to one of my staff members who died a few months ago — so emotions have already been high around here. My staff is terrified. This guy keeps storming in, screaming, threatening to hurt people — completely unstable. To top it off he has been extremely hostile that we will not hire him as he needs money. There are other things here that I cannot share at this time. ————- UPDATE 11/9: The person in question already has a pending court hearing THIS WEEK in a different county for disorderly conduct and violence against peace officer charges. Let THAT sink in. UPDATE 11/9: Police responded to an additional incident with this individual at our place of business.  The video is attached in the comments. We were in the middle of an interview with a new employee as we spotted him, making a dash for the entrance. We were able to defuse the situation ourselves as my manager protected myself as I called 911.  A trespass was unsuccessfully issued, and the police sergeant’s advice during the last incident was maybe have your staff and yourself park at the other side of your parking lot so you don’t upset him further, as he’s a super angry guy?!! ———— The staff member who died — we were secretly helping her get her own place, and when the neighbor found out she was going to move out and he’d lose her SS rental money, she died two days before she was supposed to move out from his house. When Saint Paul Police showed up today, two of the officers actually told us, “Don’t call us again.” After my repeated frustration. Not only that — we’ve had other officers harassing my staff on other occasions. Like… what? We’ve got a neighbor next door making death threats, saying he’s going to kill us, and the police told us not to call them anymore — that they’ll “only address it when he’s on the property.” Well he’s been back multiple times even after being told not to come back on the property - the police want us to literally detain him there so they can get on site so we all can be together like one big happy family.  It takes them hours to respond - So I’m supposed to tell this crazy maniac.. Please sit down while we wait for the police. You can act crazy again when they arrive?!! We’ve got videos of this guy doing horrible things. I told the officers if we hand those over and he finds out, he’s going to kill one of us. Their response? “Don’t call us again.” As they stormed off the property. This guy’s dangerous, and my team’s lives are literally being threatened. Just last week, I had a female staff member hiding in the bathroom barricaded because she was terrified of these juveniles and the cops wouldn’t show up. They said she’s on her own. Good luck! Unreal. I have contemplated posting this, but I am sick and tired of the bullshit in this city and it needs to change. NOTE: I’d like to add that yes because of the last three years of issues with the ST PAUL PD, we do now have our own security detail that works with us, but his life should never be on the line. If I were to ever die from lack of protection from these officers. Don't let anyone forget! I will always fight to protect my GREAT staff, GREAT local customers and see if change comes under Representative Kaohly Vang Her as newly elected Mayor. I invite her to sit down with me as owner of so many commerical properties in her city and discuss the abundance of outstanding items. She leads by the tagline 'Open for Business.' so let’s see if that’s true or not! Because right now, St. Paul is CLOSED for business."

Minneapolis Public School special ed "teacher"** Kaytie Kamphoff making some kind of vague threat against Darwin Forsyth, comms for Jacob Frey's campaign. **Works at at Camden High School (formerly Patrick Henry High School).

David Earl Garner, III, 02/27/1996-age 29, residing in Andover MN, has been charged with 1st degree aggravated robbery. Charges say he cracked a male in the back of the head near 1st and Washington Ave while leaving a downtown Minneapolis bar in October, rendering him unconscious, and stole his phone and wallet. Garner later made Apple Pay purchases for clothing and shoes in Brooklyn Center using the phone. Surveillance video showed Garner wearing the same distinctive shoes he wore during the robbery. Garner also allegedly transferred $8500 in bitcoin from the victim's account. Garner was arrested this past Thursday while trespassing in a vacant building in Minneapolis, and was in possession of the victim's wallet, and the phone was found in the vacant apartment. He was subsequently charged with the robbery. Garner is currently on federal parole, and has multiple prior convictions including several violent felonies. However, he was allowed to bail out of custody before appearing in court on the charge. He's scheduled for a first court appearance on Monday. Bets on whether he'll show? (ps, Yes, David Earl Garner Jr (dad) is a criminal POS)

2/ Serious question. Does a Minneapolis Public School principal have any actual authority to deny access to the city's police officers? The answer has to be no.
