Here is a fair question (I feel) to pose. Whereas discussing livability conditions within the different Minneapolis neighborhoods seems to be a very subjective issue and there are numerous thoughts on what should be done, or even whose responsibility it is to get it done. I'd be interested to find-out what the different thoughts are if any other of the five police precincts:

Had experienced over 50% of the citywide total homicides last year.

Had already experienced roughly 80% of the citywide homicides in the first 2-months of the year.

Was statistically on-track to have what? 54 homicides for the year. Tying the number the ENTIRE city had last year.

Although probably not entirely accurate, I believe the 4th precicnt polices about the same population base as a city the size of St Cloud, give or take several thousand. What would the state legislative reaction be if St Cloud were on-track to experience 50+ homicides this year? Would our fine Governor have any hesitations about immediately offering any assistance at his disposal to remedy the problem? Anyone? Why the two sets of standards? Anyone?
