Sell to the liberals who want to live in the new utopia.

There won't be any murders once they disband the police force because "systemic racism" will cease to exist, or something.

They don’t actually want to live in any of their creations. Have you seen domestic migration trends lately they are fleeing the hell holes they created in the North, Far-west and Midwest.

I hope they do so we can watch the murder rates skyrocket to levels that make Mogadishu look like a safe utopia. Then there will be another instance where us conservatives can once again point at liberals and say "see the people you elect are destructive idiots"

Default BREAKING-Minneapolis City Council Pledges to Dismantle the Police Department

9 members-a veto-proof majority — of the Minneapolis City Council pledged on Sunday to dismantle the city’s Police Department, promising to create a new system of public safety in a city where law enforcement has long been accused of racism. Saying that the city’s current policing system could not be reformed, the council members stood before hundreds of people gathered late in the day on a grassy hill, and signed a pledge to begin the process of taking apart the Police Department as it now exists. Whoa.

Sounds like the good areas of the city need to de-annex.

I seriously doubt this would happen. First of all, the city would be sued to bankruptcy after all the disorder, robbery, and killings after. I hope it happens though. Reasonable minds will take over. It will be a good history lesson and people will realize why we actually have the police. The suburbs will keep their police.

BREAKING NEWS
A veto-proof majority of the Minneapolis City Council pledged to dismantle the city’s Police Department, vowing to create a new public safety system.


NOTE bolded above!!

I see mis-/partial headlines ( by Faux News) in order to mis-represent the intentions of Minn. Council's passage~~

In other words/dismantle doesn't mean CLOSE it.. It means.. changing rules surrounding Police to have unfettered rules that Block and allow HIDING of Facts.. ala~~ protecting malfeasants by any Police officer.. ala ability to move on and work elsewhere even if killed someone/broke laws etc etc!! It's got to change!!

No ONE is above the law.. but Union's have bargained to allow this since I can remember!! It's about TIME!!
