Update: Biden will not comment on the defunding of police in Minneapolis. According to the outlet, The Appeal, “A Biden campaign spokesman declined to comment.”
After the raging lunatics and criminals burned down many of their businesses and at least one housing project, Minneapolis decided to defund and dismantle the police department. This is not satire.
Great idea. They could bring in some warlords and a couple of witch doctors. The people who burned down the city, Black Lives Matter and Antifa, should do some of the patrols. Why do you need police when you have these people?
Mayor Frey said he doesn’t want to completely defund them but he looks like a pushover (watch him dance below, probably with some of the people who damaged his city). It won’t matter anyway, the city council has a veto-proof majority.
Nine members of the Minneapolis City Council on Sunday announced they intend to defund and dismantle the city’s police department following the police killing of George Floyd. They also have a veto-proof majority of the council’s 13 members.
The Council blaes the police for the violence by Antifa, Black Lives Matter, and other far-left groups. After George Floyd’s death, the Council claims the police “managed to escalate and provoke anger all week.”
Minneapolis City Wrd Three Councilor Steve Fletcher said the police [not the mobs] are “ungovernable.”
Councilmember Lisa Bender told CNN police funding would be shifted to other needs, and the city council would discuss how to replace the current police department.
“The idea of having no police department is certainly not in the short term,” Bender said.
The nine council members made the announcement at a community rally in Minneapolis.
Members of the Minneapolis City Council previously said they would take steps to dismantle the police department, including Bender, who tweeted earlier this week, “Yes. We are going to dismantle the Minneapolis Police Department and replace it with a transformative new model of public safety.”
Jeremiah Ellison, a city councilman for Ward 5, tweeted a similar message Thursday, writing, “We are going to dismantle the Minneapolis Police Department. And when we’re done, we’re not simply gonna glue it back together. We are going to dramatically rethink how we approach public safety and emergency response.”
The first thing police should do is pull patrols off all politicians.
Here he is folks, this is the mayor of burnt-out Minneapolis:

You know what? You just might have a damn good idea there. One thing for sure it will sure as hell prove your point. But, wait and see, they will find some way to blame President Trump for the results. “We didn’t know any better, Trump should have stopped us.” As they wander through the pools of blood.
If humans can’t get a long without someone watching their every move, then humanity is doomed anyway. People need to learn to be adults and fend for themselves.
Be careful what you wish for, if the dems have their way that’s exactly what is going to happen. It will be the will be the wild wild west all for real once our side realizes that there is no rule of law and starts shooting back. But hey, if you don’t mind seeing a lot of death and carnage,… Read more »
We don’t need police. That’s why we have a second amendment. Someone tries to harm or rob your family you shoot them and bury them in a shallow grave.
It’s not hard.
Minneapolis is going to be worse than Detroit, at least Detroit still has a police department (such as it is). If our inner cities defund law enforcement agencies businesses and working class folks will vacate them almost immediately. What are these city councils and mayors going to do once they find themselves with no tax base at the local level??… Read more »
Are any of the members old enough to recall the aftermath of the 68 riots. It is then all the efforts into social programs were envisioned and put into place. Of course they weren’t so foolish as to ban police departments. It was a failure then and there’s little chance it won’t be the same. It will create stagnation that… Read more »
