Police meeting - citizens in SW Minneapolis "feel unsafe"

Fox 9 News at 9:00 reports of a meeting in the Minneapolis 5th Precinct with Inspector Kris Arneson and other police representatives and citizens of Southwest Minneapolis concerning escalating crime in their area.

The citizens are concerned because they no longer feel safe in their neighborhoods [We've known this for quite some time - it just takes liberals longer to do something about it]. The neighborhood of Kingfield was specifically mentioned. In that area a flower shop was torched, and now a gas station robbery has occurred in the 4400 block of Nicollet Ave. Both of these acts follow the home invasion murder of a couple weeks ago. This is considered a nice area, or at least used to be.

Here's a Minneapolis Police SAFE Unit crime alert (2/8/06):
