Minneapolis, plagued by violent crime, wants victims to cooperate with criminals, surrender property - TheBlaze:

Image result for Clip Art Calm Armed RobberyThe Minneapolis City Government has circulated a letter informing residents what to do if they are targeted by carjackers or robbers. The letter, addressed to residents living in the city's 3rd precinct, was written July 28.
"Robberies and Carjacking's have increased in our precinct. Cell phones, purses, and vehicles are being targeted. Some victims have been maced, dragged, assaulted, and threatened with a gun," the letter states.
"100 Robberies and 20 Carjackings have been reported to the 3rd Precinct Police in July alone," the letter adds.
However, instead of committing to increase police activity in areas plagued by violent crime, the letter goes on to suggest that residents protect themselves — and if they are targeted by violent criminals, to surrender their property.
