The legal action, filed last week in Hennepin County District Court, argues that the businesses have lost revenue, real estate value, reputation, and tenant and rental income. It argues that the city's decisions led to higher crime and created a “no go zone” for police in the area. It replaces an earlier lawsuit by the businesses that was dismissed two months ago.
Isn't that rich the businesses are unhappy that the lack of police presence is causing them issues
No they didn't. The situation for the businesses and homes is way worse than anyone actually understood. They were basically barricaded in their homes and businesses for weeks as a violent, armed, mob got into multiple gunfights with drug dealers and each other. They were effectively besieged, called the police, and wanted some way to protect their stores and homes or get evacuated, and were told it was not possible.
Anyone who left got their homes and stores looted and then squatted on by Communists.

Gotcha. And the mayor told the cops to stand down. But I do remember local politicians whining about the spike in crime.
Gitz has no idea what he’s talking about.
Oh yeah, the politicians are all shit.
