After nearly two weeks of violence, mayhem, and rioting in Minneapolis, the City Council on Sunday voted on their intent to disband the police department.The wild proposal would invest in “community-led public safety” instead of police officers.“We are here today because George Floyd was killed by the Minneapolis Police Department. We are also here because, here in Minneapolis and in cities across the United States, it is clear that our existing system of policing and public safety isn’t working for so many of our neighbors,”

I think it can be proven in a court of law that the entire Minneapolis City Council is insane.

Morons. They have a city charter, akin to a constitution. It calls for the city council to have a police force,and have the number of officers be a minimum number per capita. It also calls for those officers to be real police officers.
(a)The departments generally. The City Council must establish, organize, and otherwise provide for these departments:
...11. a police department (section 7.3);
AND
(c) Funding. The City Council must fund a police force of at least 0.0017 employees per resident, and provide for those employees' compensation, for which purpose it may tax the taxable property in the City up to 0.3 percent of its value annually. This tax is in addition to any other tax, and not subject to the maximum set under section 9.3(a)(4).
No way around this without it going to the people to vote. Good luck with that.

There has to be a medical term for a thought process such as this, perhaps a learned l-dotter could inform us .

If the police are never to show up then we can take care of things ourselves.

It amazes me that so many low IQ people become public servents. But then again it doesn't. Can't find work out in the real world so look out here we come. Morons marching in the streets making insane demands and the 'elites" actually doing it. Somehow I don't think anyone has thought this through. Dear Lord it is going to be hell on earth. Lock and load America. If blacks think it is bad now just wait. The biggest threat to a black man's life is another black man. Chicago will become Beirut in short order.

Just wait until someone doxes the home addresses of the City Council members and the looting begins. They will change their tune. Unless, of course, they are privileged to have private Security guards to protect them and their property. Some animals are more privileged than others.

I'm sure there are high-level discussions going on inside of Target, Medtronic, Pillsbury/GF, Ameriprise, Xcel, and more about "to what cities should we start moving operations?"

Relevant bumper sticker (leftists love bumper stickers):
I DON'T CALL POLICE; I CALL 911.
It's a nice, catchy, little statement that leaves leftists speechless for a few seconds, before their brain melts! Particularly effective when paired with a pro-gun sticker!

They aren't all multimillionaires, and that's what it would take to hire enough security to protect their lives and property.

First working for a living was too hard so legal theft via welfare was institutionalized. Welfare doesn't pay enough to stealing from others fills the gap. Now calling the police makes staling too hard.

Ok! The next burglar get's blown out the door or window once in by a properly armed and trained civilian with the correct tools for the job! Sounds like a plan. Good luck buying a gun. I've tried. I lost all mine when they fell out of my boat...

Mayor Frey of Minneapolis has indicated that he is against the notion of disbanding the police department. But I'm guessing that he probably has armed security provided by selfsame Minneapolis PD.

OK, issue everybody a shotgun, blast the burglars and toss the bodies into the street.
Is that what this idiot wants to see?
Having police is part of having a civilization, but this sort of an idiot can't grasp abstract concepts like civilization, apparently. This would be funny if it weren't so dangerous, unstable and just sad.

“community-led public safety” That sounds like vigilantism to me. Also, who would enforce the anti-gun laws or the anti-plastic straw law,

Good defund the Police, Minneapolis. If the voters are so monumentally stupid and brainwashed to elect this hard core, cold hearted, hair needs brushing, communist moron as City Council President, who is championing this suicidal notion of disbanding the police department, then the voters need to learn the hard way that they must live in perpetual fear every single day as a result of their votes. Not only will they be preyed on by violent criminals but they will also be preyed on by the democrat communist party commissars and thought police seizing and distributing their property and wealth and while also severely punishing anyone who dares speak out for thought crimes. Why aren't the businesses and merchants marching on City Hall? All of the taxpayers?
To the president of the Minneapolis City Council I say you go girl, defund the police. I am sure the City Council members will then pass a vote funding private body guards to protect them and their homes for life.
Down with Antifa, Black Lives Matter and the democrat communist party. Traitors all. Take America back and make it great again.
We are the silent majority and we will push back twice as hard as we are being pushed today.

From time to time The Juggernaut would be rolled through the streets in India and many would lay in front of it's massive wheels and be crushed to death as a display of their holiness.

Let me see if I've got this right. I educated myself. I worked at a professional career for 30 years or so. I took on a mortgage and raised a family. And if somebody breaks in to my house and I call the police I can do so because I'm Privileged ??
Words escape me.

Well, there's no doubt about the Minneapolis Police Department needing its house cleaned. The same force that employed Derek Chauvin also employed Mohamed Noor, the Somali cop who murdered Justine Damond, an unarmed white woman, while she was trying to report a crime. Shot her at point blank range.
(Somehow I don't remember the riots by white people protesting her killing.)

That was not an answer about whom one should call if they are being burglarized. The Minneapolis council president is sounding like Joe Biden in her incoherent retort.

We all know the looney leftists want to remove all police officers and want to over throw the government. The communists have been infiltrating our schools and colleges, Hollyweird and the government for years. This year is one of their last chances to reach their goal. They want a civil war. They might just get it, but the outcome most likely will bring a lot of bloodshed on both sides yet they will most likely lose. Thank God most of the populace is armed.

Years ago in West Texas we used to call a bigmouth know nothing entity like the Minneapolis city council, “dummies” that are “all hat and no cattle”. The voters in Minneapolis should vote out those clowns after watching them back off abolishing the police department there. What they may do before they call it a day is superficially change the name of the police force, and call the current position of police officer by some gentler name.

These idiots do not believe that 'others' have a constitutional right to their own private property. But having someone steal something they own will precipitate an immediate call to the police.

Somewhere, this past week, I saw a cartoon on Facebook. A very wrinkled Old Geezer had a Shovel and a Shotgun. His theory was the following. If you have a Shovel and a Shotgun, You ain't got no problem at all! I'm beginning to think that Cartoon, funny as it was, is the way this country is headed. We are about to become the Wild, Wild West again! If those in leadership in MN and NY and LA think they won't NEED the Police someday, they are even more out of touch that I thought. The Looters will eventually run out of good stuff to steal, and then they're going to come for YOURS! No Police? Chances are they don't have guns in their houses either, so Hmmmmm. What will they do? Considering most of them are Wussess, I'm going to say you will find them hiding under the Bed!
