MINNEAPOLIS - A Minneapolis City Council committee pushed forward on Wednesday with a measure that would give the voters power to replace the city police department. The amendment proposed and submitted by the advocacy group "Yes 4 Minneapolis Committee" calls for public safety to have a "comprehensive public health approach" but does not explain what that means. Under the plan, the police department would be replaced in the charter with a public safety department but doesn't outline how the department will work or be structured. "I am persuaded that this is not going to get better with another two weeks,"
Defunding the police while complaining about the rise in the crime rate is (*&)(^ . But then they hired private security for themselves and heaven forbid that any of the shop owners that are being constantly robbed or the private citizens that are being beaten up are given any help :(

How about defunding the city council. If I were a resident, I'd sell my home even at a loss, and move out.

If I lived in Minneapolis, I'd be looking to sell my house and move. I'd get away from this nonsense. This will not end well for the vast majority of residents, who cannot move or who own businesses in that city. They will suffer at the hands of government folly.
I wanna know: Who is getting rich from "defunding the police"? Somebody is. Follow the money!

Are there any pictures readily available of the cities in Minnesota that have already been damaged by rioting and other illegal behavior?
Just curious. Some of our censors censor information needed to inform the voting public.
It is like we were told for decades that Cuba had the greatest medical help ever, and now we find that was not true.
Who censors the censors?

Great news. People in Minneapolis getting what they voted for, good and hard. Perhaps at some point they'll see that the problem is caused by that fool in their mirror.

Might be a good place to start a company that provides security and builds security walls.

Can't wait to see what "Minnesota nice" looks like after the defunding actually happens.
But they must really want it. They keep voting for it. Amazing.

As #9 points out, the citizens of Minneapolis are getting what they voted for good and hard. They may learn their lesson, but it won't keep. After Dinkins, NYC elected Rudy Guiliani who cleaned up the mess, and Michael Bloomberg who mostly continued Guiliani's policies. Then NYC got complacent, went mad again and elected DeBlasio who in two terms has driven NYC right back into a ditch.

Never forget the "Rule of Holes."
(Closely related to the "Definition of Insanity.")

People whose heads aren't in a dark place KNOW what it means.

They deserve exactly what they are getting. Black thugs are running the city in the name of a black thug who held a pregnant woman at gunpoint, hopped hisself up on mulltiple drugs and attempted to rob a business owner. George Floyd is more famous being dead than he ever would have been alive. If Minneapolis residents aren't currently on the phone with Ryder making a reservation, they should be.

Glad we moved west of the cities to one of the safest areas in the country back in the 80’s! 10 miles is too close to Minneapolis to me!

Just replace the police with convicted felons. It would be more honest.
