The biggest youtuber in the industry "CodyB" lives in North Dakota. Seen a few UND flags and shirts in his videos. Here's a video of a fireworks show he put on for Grand Forks last year, even get a glimpse of them eating Rhombus Pizza. Interesting to watch if you ever wondered what the setup of a firework show looked like. I think those were all consumer grade fireworks that anyone can purchase. 1 Quote

How does a mayor prevent 6 mentally challenged individuals from misusing 911 services? Cause thats what thats about....not six teenage mutant ninja turtles cruising downtown on their bikes reporting a thousand 911 calls about elderly women getting their purses stolen. This has nothing to do with the mayor. Edit: keep reading. Looks like my interpretation was incorrect. 2 Quote

"In discussion, Mayor Brandon Bochenski credited “macro-level” factors such as inflation, the cost of housing and food, behavioral health problems caused by things like social media or drug abuse, and more." behavioral health problems caused by thing like social media or drug abuse. It's not inflation, housing or food. Its drug or alcohol abuse and mental issues. Period. Offer to help most take for a couple days and back to the street. They want more drug or alcohol. Needs to change accept help and stay with it or be committed. 1 1 Quote

Yeah i think you are correct now that you point it out. And i was incorrect. 6 people with mental issues either way you look at it. The police say these calls might not even mean a crime was committed, let alone one easily proven in court. (Loitering, yellling to yourself). And these six likely dont care about a criminal record. Society will always have some of these people. And society will always have scared Karen's from small town, ND who haven't seen what "cities" are really like and call 911. I've experienced it. I got cops called on me twice for sitting in my car in a parking lot waiting for my next Uber ride. I'm sure those 6 would accept a free bus ride to Fargo? Ha Are the "drunk high mentally ill homeless" any more dangerous than drunk college kids downtown on Friday and Saturday nights from 10 to 2am? One group brings money into our city so we turn a blind eye to them? 1 Quote

Those calls might just be equal. funny you mention Uber....same here....but haven't been approached when I pull over to wait for the next hit...but plenty of "what you doing there?"...haha but....if people want to make a couple quick and easy bucks...called destination rides...if you work at the sin bin and live in east Grand forks you can put in a destination request and just kinda wait after work for a hit....if you get the hit you might pickup someone at the Southgate or rumors who want to get dropped off near your place in EGF and just do one ride (going that way anyways) and make 10 bucks or so depending on tip....easy money. 1 Quote

Not sure why things have went to a higher level than they have in the past but it is noticeably worse including more noticeable loitering, aggressive panhandling and open use of substances (always has been a thing, but much more open) among other things. 1 Quote

None of those items are worthy of a 911 call. So yeah lots of those items are being called into 911 according to the police for those six people were.... ....scared karens. 1 Quote

Downtown has gotten a lot worse and needs to be cleaned up. But a lot of the calls to 911 are unnecessary and from ………… scared Karen’s 1 2 Quote
