Minneapolis City Council members announce intent to disband city's police department
2020-06-08
[TWITTER] Nine members of the Minneapolis City Council formally announced plans to dismantle the Minneapolis Police Department and committed to establishing a new community-led system. The move comes amid protests against police brutality and the death of George Floyd. The city's mayor Jacob Frey was booed at a Black Lives Matter protest on June 6 after telling a group of demonstrators that he did not support abolishing the city's police department.

#22   Their next call will be for the UN to come in.

Can the UN come in if the federal government, ie President Trump, does not give pernission?

#13  In other words, the Sheriff and his deputies are going to say, "Call BLM for justice."

I fear that Pournelles future vision may come to pass, with Taxpayers, who get police protection and services vs 'Citizens' who get government cheese and drugs to keep them docile. Riots get met with a full, unrestrained military response.

#12  County Sheriff has said "no appetite" to assist Mppls if they go this route.

Why would he?

#11  Per the city council prez, fearing crime is now a privilege. Remember this as you're being sodomized.

#9  When I lived in Savannah we had a separate fire fee assessment, if you didn’t pay it, the fire dept would come out and protect the neighboring houses that had paid the fee and watch yours burn to the ground, then they’d send a bill charging for the response

Like the no-go places in Europe?

#4  I live in the land of HOAs. It's such a racket there's a continuous push from a certain quarter to establish one in my suburban neighborhood. It's such a racket the local paper has a column devoted to questions about HOA abuses. It's such a racket....

#3  â€˜Community-led system’. Think HOA with guns.

#1  This is like ripping off a bandage. It will probably have to happen in more than one city and it will be painful and ugly. But some people only learn the hard way.
