They're not sure exactly what the new system will look like, but it will have public safety at the forefront. I suppose it will take time to figure out what that will look like. Camden, NJ disbanded its police department and the crime fell by about half. https://www.cnn.com/2020/06/09/us/di...rnd/index.html

How well did it work out in the places where the police were forced to stand down during the riots?
Some unarmed citizens DID step up and attempt to stop some of the destruction and they got the crap kicked out of them.
Bottom line is that you absolutely need a police force to have a safe society. You can CALL it whatever you like, but you need trained and armed men and women who are capable of handling very violent and very dangerous people. If the solution is to have social workers who look like Jacob Fry
As it stands now, more people have died in the riots against police brutality than have died OF police brutality in the last several years. That's to say nothing of how many people end getting coronavirus from the mass super spreader events.
Prediction:
- Anyone with the means will leave, which leaves poor people stuck there.
- Businesses and jobs will leave. Who wants to run a business with unarmed public servants who probably look like Jacob Frey there to protect you?
- Crime will skyrocket.
- This will embolden the radical left to try even more extreme things. (Let's let all violent offenders of color out of jail)
- A once great city will be added to a list of places nobody wants to visit, live or work.
If you do a little research the MPD has been brutal and corrupt for decades. So reform being impossible is very likely.
Let's start with Minneapolis Police Chief Medaria Arradondo, who was head of MPD's Internal Affairs Unit responsible for investigation of allegations of officer misconduct.
It seems that Arrandondo had plenty of chances to do something about bad cops for almost a decade, but apparently he was OK with Derek Chauvin, the cop who killed George Floyd, who faced at least 18 misconduct complaints, investigated by MPD Internal Affairs Unit, headed by Arrandondo himself, yet none of which derailed his career with the Minneapolis Police Department!

Great! Let's start with the current tenant in the White House.
