Federal Racketeering (RICO) Crimes
Youtube:
Post presentation discussion.
2-PAC members will look for a media reporter that will keep the story going after a suspect has been apprehended. There are so many social services, which are tested and proven, which we know can be very effective, which taxpayers are paying for. They never get mentioned in crime reports in the media. We should have access, on a regular basis, to “the rest of the story.”

As you can see, Larceny theft is way down, but MV Theft, Damage to Property, and Assault are still problematic. Emilie has received a mandate to start using Zoom screen share on 2-PAC.
Minneapolis City Attorneys’ Office Atty Okoronkwo: reported that he inquired if Courtwatch will again be receiving the information we need to do some courtwatching. Courtwatch was originally a service where an attorney could request impact statements from attenders who had a connection to a suspect’s unlawful behavior. It then began by identifying chronic offenders and gave monthly updates so 2-PAC could see how the judicial system worked as the cases wound through the system. Covid put an end to that, and so far, the City Attorneys are not ready to restart “targeted prosecution” of chronic offenders, or to start calling for impact statements. We’ll see how that evolves.
