Minneapolis City Council Members Want To Abolish The Police
[Alpha News] "Several of us on the council are working on finding out, what it would take to disband the MPD," says Steve Fletcher, a member of the 13-person assembly that serves as the legislative branch of Minneapolis government.
Of course they do (we really need to expand our library of dumbass pics....)

#1 Actually, we will need 10-12 cities trying this "experiment" before the message emerges.

#4 Fine, make sure that the city council gets no police protection and if their homes are broken into, the Dispatchers should tell them, "Call your friends in Antifa."

#7 Cool it with the "pig" comments, Clem. I don't know you but it diminishes you in my eyes every time you use it

#10 When I moved here they told me DFL stood for Democratic Farmers and Laborers. I was pretty sure it actually meant Dirty F'ing Liars. I was wrong, turns out it really means Dumb F'ers League.

#11 All doubts erased: this is the political wing, and BLM-Antifa is the strike force, of an anarchist insurrection.

#13 Minneapolis City Council Members Want To Abolish The Police

I think this is a good idea.
Not because I hate Minneapolis, or because I believe the citizens will rise up as one, the better angels of their nature triumphant, and become that shining city on a hill. Nah, my money is on Mogadishu, but with more crime and violence.

But I'm a big fan of the scientific method and abolishing the police would be a most interesting experiment. And it would give us a data point, so when someone says how do you know abolishing the police won't work, we can point at the wreckage of Minneapolis and say "We tried it".

#14 Wekk the first thing you need to do is remove all police and security guards from City Hall, and your private residences for a year.... And no going around armed either! Live the message!
