Cities don't make foreign policy; whatever resolution the council might come up with has absolutely no effect on anything and won't do anything other than piss off some significant number of people. What Minneapolis needs to do do is hire more and better cops and fix a bunch of potholes, not embroil itself in an intractable and divisive international issue that it can't influence anyhow.
