Monday on CNN’s “New Day,” Minneapolis City Council President Lisa Bender defended her council’s attempt to disband the Minneapolis police department following the death of George Floyd.
Bender said, “I think in Minneapolis, watching George Floyd’s death, and the actions of the four police officers that were involved has been a huge wake-up call for so many in Minneapolis to see what many already knew, which is that our police department is not keeping every member of our community safe. And so I think step one for us is to tell the truth. Nine council members from communities all across the city of all different backgrounds, standing together, to tell the truth, and say, this system isn’t working for too many of our neighbors for too long. Our reform efforts have failed, and we have done many, many attempts at reform and new leadership in the department and many things, and we still see this tragic death. And so I think the wake-up of our community is what’s driving the city council’s announcement yesterday. And now the hard work begins for us to rebuild systems that really work to keep all of our communities safe.”
Host Alisyn Camerota asked, “But to be clear, you’re not talking about reform. The word dismantle is intentionally different than reform. This is more than reform. This is dismantling. I mean, activists who support this are calling this a police-free future.”

“Expecting help” is a delusion, at best.
And is only the privilege of the stupid.
Let Minnecraponus burn. No federal troops. No federal aid. I would even extend it to all of the Met Council counties plus Wright and Stearns Counties due to being adjacent to Hennepin County.
WE ARE PAYING FOR THAT “PRIVILEGE” YOU STUPID COW.
If the privileged cant pay for police protection, they will pay for Deathsquads.
Just wait until the dem convention in August. There will be riots everywhere.
Nope, National Guard. This is a Minnesota problem.
I can see massive flight out of Mogadishu North America. Is any sane business going to stay open? Who’s going to go there as tourists? Mall of America will look like Sarajevo in 2 years.
I told my son who’s a cop they were going to send social workers for calls. He said really, to a domestic where the 300 lbs man is drunk and beating his wife and kids and you are going to have to use pepper, taser and probably go hands on? Right he said that will work out great, go for it!
The Minneapolis city site is down. Gee, wonder why.
Mz Whitey is representing Ward 10 which seems to be in the better part of the city.
https://www.southwestjournal.com/news/2017electionguide/2017/10/voter-guide-ward-10/ - “city policy has made Ward 10 a “gold mine” for developers, and said proposals are rarely denied. She and Schorn blame Bender for a loss of affordable housing in recent years, saying that gentrification is causing the ward to lose its diversity.” “bike lanes”
A non-existent police force.
There’s a Trump flag at our neighbor’s.
Political correctness always ends up biting you in the butt.
Block out all exits out of town and watch them go at it.
I heard a woman formerly from Detroit tell of her experience as a child during the riots of 1968. There was a curfew by 10 o’clock at night. People had to close their shades and turn off their lights because snipers could be driving around shooting out people’s windows.
Where are the Dems having their convention?
