If you think that dismantling an urban police department and replacing it with social workers is nuts, youre in good company. The very people that the Minneapolis city council claimed to be serving in its attempt to eliminate its own police department have begun blasting the idea as absurd and ridiculous. African-American leaders within the city are accusing the council of rushing to a conclusion without engaging them and offering a proposal that will leave them unprotected from violence in the future:
Egregious, grotesque, absurd, crazy, ridiculous.
These are a handful of the words that some local African American leaders are using to rebuke the Minneapolis City Councils moves toward dismantling the Police Department, even as they demand an overhaul of law enforcement.
While the movement to defund the police has been driven by Black activists, others say that city politicians rushed the process and failed to include a police chief who has the backing of many Black residents.
They have shown a complete disregard for the voices and perspectives of many members of the African American community, said Nekima Levy Armstrong, a civil rights attorney and former president of the Minneapolis chapter of the NAACP. We have not been consulted as the city makes its decisions, even though our community is the one most heavily impacted by both police violence and community violence.

Is the Mayor up for reelection? How about the Gov’nr, and the Muslim Atty General who desires to implement Sharia law?
Black people have no empathy for white guilt.
“They have shown a complete disregard for the voices...”
These 9 words entirely describes socialism, liberalism & the Democrat party.
The marxists are in charge which means NO lives matter
Defund the Minneapolis government. We need to teat it down to build it back up again.
Over the next three months Trump’s black support will increase and it is not farfetched that he will receive 25-30% on election day. Urban minority neighborhoods will become the domain of the thugs and gangs. Blacks, who will be affected most, will know what is happening, will come to understand the nihilistic, marxist true nature of BLM and ultimately choose Trump.
If defunding is done black leaders need to form their own militia private armed police force. They should call it something innocuous, of course, like Neighborhood Watch.
Beat me to it!

They could call it the Zimmerman Patrol.
Black Voices Don’t Matter
Aren't the somalis, whites claiming to represent BLM, BLM, ANTIFA/Soros (mostly white), and the leaders of the democrat party leading the movement to defund the police?
“””How about the Govnr, and the Muslim Atty General who desires to implement Sharia law?””””””””
Those two tards are in for another two years.
Maybe next time the Republicans will run a candidate that actually wants to win. I haven’t seen a strong candidate with some fight in him for years.
I smell the landslide coming...YUGE. The economy in a V-shaped recovery despite the liberals. On cue left-wing overreach is scaring all the Karens and Chads. And the last 48 hours the mask of BLM is coming off to the horror of the corporate cucks....THAT THY ARE ANTI-SEMITIC. They hate the God of Israel and love the God of death Allah. Burning of Elk statues, the nihilism, the arrogance, the violence is turning off voters they need. I am optimistic about our chances come November. Then we are going to have to put down this insurrection with arrests and a few armed conflicts where we show Antifa thugs littered under bloody white sheets.
Future Republicans?
Uh. . .yea. . .they're Democrats, correct? and you put them and keep them in office, right? So now you have to live with the consequences?. . .oh Boo Hoo!
They haven’t realized blacks and other minorities are mere cannon fodder for the white liberals.
Maybe someday they’ll wake up to that. They are about to lose everything on the altar of Marxism.
