Minneapolis is the safest city in America, according to Forbes. The ranking was based on crime rates, traffic deaths, workplace fatalities and risk of natural disasters. The Minneapolis metropolitan area ranked in the top 10 nationwide in each of these categories, including the lowest rate of on-the-job deaths. (St. Paul got short shrift from the Forbes’ editors.)
Milwaukee, Portland, Boston and Seattle rounded out the top five.

This is really Forbes’ fault, but as you noted in your second reference, they’re talking metro areas, not individual cities.

lol…go ahead, hang out in N. Minneapolis (or N. “metro” for that matter) for a while. Saturday night in the Summer on Camden…that’s got tourist attraction written all over it.
Maybe we can move the governor’s mansion to North Minneapolis.

Why did we need to accept Federal Funding for even MORE police when we are the safest city in America?!
