Minneapolis' City Council president is defending the move to disband the city’s police department following the brutal killing of George Floyd, saying that police can do more harm than good in some cases and expecting their help 'comes from a place of privilege'. On Monday, City Council president Lisa Bender defended the revolutionary move to disband the police force, saying Floyd’s death was a 'wake-up call' that the police 'is not keeping every member of our community safe.'(Snip) 'Because for those of us for whom the system is working, I think we need to step back and imagine

Wow. Stuuuupid remark
Are members of council giving up their police protection. I think they should stand up and support the ban.

Thou shall not steal is one of the Ten Commandments. Where on earth is it a place of privilege? No mam, it is a commandment from God.

Residents that move away and visitors that don't come to visit will do so from a place of not wanting to be mugged robbed or killed with no police around to protect the public health safety and welfare. Let me know how all that works out. Minnetopiapolis should be the study model for finding out how stupid and ill-advised this idea really is. But suffering the consequences of your actions is the best way to learn lessons. Go ahead and do it.

You can hire all the police officers as ambulance drivers and coroners. You'll need them.

The mind of a Leftist is a scary place. In her view if you have anything worth stealing then you must have an unfair privilege in life to acquire it. It's time to give it up! Downtrodden minorities cannot be blamed for stealing or mayhem because they have been denied equal treatment since the year 1619.

The lady would be quickly singing a different tune if a couple of men without privilege invaded her residence, raped and whacked her, and stole a lot of her property. I guess she would still be able to contact a “ community” public safety social worker to comfort her, hold her hand, and accompany her to a nearby Emergency Room.

Does this mean no more protection for the City Council and its members?
No more protection for their homes and cars?
No protection when they have hearings?
No guards?
Go head. Publish the addresses of all the City Council Members, along with floor plans showing where they keep their valuables. Promise everyone that a break-in to the home of a Council person will result in no prosecution.

If any of their places were burglarized, would they be calling the police? Of course they would! These people are hypocrites. More importantly, is why do they want to disband the police. Guarantee it has nothing to do with George Floyd. Only criminals want the police disbanded. What are they hiding?

If by 'place of privilege,' she means as a citizen of a midwestern US state, she's correct. Americans should be safe and secure in their homes and property. Try as the democrats might, Minneapolis isn't part of Somalia, at least not yet.

Just one more peek into the racist minds of regressive liberals.
To this dim bulb the only people who worry about their homes being broken into are "privileged" white folks.
She must thinks blacks for some racist reason don't have homes they would prefer not to have broken into, families they would prefer not terrorized and killed, and possessions they have worked hard for and would prefer to not have stolen.

Gee, when the Bloods gang bangers break into her house, beat up her husband half to death, and get ready to gang-rape her, I hope she just accepts the inevitable as punishment for her "privilege"!!!
What choice will she have, since she decided to do away with the police???

Will there be additional training for all the social workers who (in addition to their usual workload) will now be responsible for responding to the 911 calls, traveling to the crime scene, interviewing witnesses, collecting evidence, investigating the crime, and appearing in court if or when a perp comes to trial??
Looking forward to their mutiny.......
Ms. Bender is several sandwiches short of a picnic, for sure. Minneapolis will possibly pay a very high price due to the extreme virtue signalling by their city council.
Hope for cooler heads to prevail but who knows if they will?

Liberal democrats have always wanted us all to be equally scared and miserable. Just think, not only will the Minneapolis thugs and criminals prey upon the city, they can invite their friends from out of town!

It's funny that the last election cycle was all about women and the systemic sexism in our country. We heard all about how women are denied their rights, men have all the privileges and women are to be believed and protected from those bad guys.
This cycle it's our brown and black citizens and the systemic racism in our country. Now it's all about how whites have all the privileges (I am assuming they are including white women in this) and that the police are absolutely no good, not one of them is good (I assume this includes white women officers as well). So, white ladies, is that correct? Do you have all the privileges over people of color? Are you a rotten officer who takes advantage of and picks on people of color? White ladies, or actually any of you ladies from the #metoo movement, how are you feeling about no police departments? Feeling safe?

If you're afraid of having your house broken into and your stuff getting stolen, even Ray Charles can see your white privilege has allowed you to accumulate way too much stuff.

Oh 31 we just use the white priveledge loophole. We keep the boats and quads and jet skis at the river house plus all of the good shotguns Have a Hangar for our airplane and are armed to the teeth at the beach house Eazy Peezy Actually this is a true story and it is from working my ass off all over the world until I retired in 2018. And demonstrate peacefully and no problem violence and looting is not protesting. When the pendulum swings back, and it always does, well...

All this talk of defunding the police means gun sales are going to skyrocket.
I also wonder is this going to be a repeat of the 1968 presidential election with law and order being one of the main issues.

The person also had the "privilege" of paying taxes to support public services. Getting something for your money is not a privilege, it's part of the bargain made when the government levied the taxes to support public services.
