Put yourself in the shoes of black Americans, she says. Imagine if you caught someone breaking into your home and feared that calling the police might endanger you more than confronting the burglar yourself would.

It’s “privilege” to know that you have less to fear from the cops than the criminals. Or so she insists.

These STUPID leftists need to re-learn the history of the Western frontier.

It here are no police, neighborhood associations will end up hiring vigilantes to protect them from crime. The vigilantes will be the very same people who would have been hired as police if the police force had not been disbanded. In all likelihood, they will be the very WORST of the whole lot!!!!

The vigilantes will shoot to KILL, and dead bodies will litter our streets!! Is the what the leftists really want?

PHOOEY to them all!!!!

Hum.....So they want to call the local pimp or drug dealer when a drug dealer breaks into their house? I don’t understand the logic.

No need for that. Fire and EMS won’t go anywhere an active shooter.

Shouldn’t these white city council members recognize their privilege and step down so a minority can take their jobs?

It’s “privilege” to know that you have less to fear from the cops than the criminals.

If Minneapolis is like Cleveland, EMT squads won’t enter certain neighborhoods with out a police escort.

So, without the police department to supply cover for the EMTs how are these neighborhoods going to get emergency medical care?

These are primarily black neighborhoods.

If the police departments are defunded I am sure that we would next hear about EMT service denial to certain neighborhoods will be racism.

So, what’s next? Defunding the EMT service because not all neighborhoods are getting EMT service because EMTs are racist?

Maybe if we get rid of the Fire Department, no more buildings will burn down.

Right now if the Fire Dept. is making an emergancy run and that think the scene isn't secure they don't go in, they stage and wait for the police to secure the area. What's goiing to happen when they have no police?

So, using the same logic, if blacks fear police brutality is that Black Privilege?

These people need to step back and ponder why the left is seducing them with a constant barrage of victimhood . . . maybe because they are enlisting them to do their dirty work . . . maybe because they are useful idiots that are expendable in pursuit of the cause????

The uncomfortable truth is that conservative America treats African-Americans and Latinos with far more respect than does the Left. The Left just uses anyone who will tote their water bucket.

They’ll probably get raises and hire 24/7 security.

I’m sure this imbecile doesn’t realize that even those who think police protection is better than anarchy, know that bad things can happen when the police arrive. Australian lady tries to save a sexual assault victim (who never materialized) only to be murdered by a Somali member of the Minneapolis PD. Numerous idiots call 911 to “help” with mentally ill family members, only to find that the police tool kit includes subduing violent actors with superior force, not counseling. Who’da thunk it? Many stories of dogs shot in the back yard, etc. We know encounters with LEO can be risky because they fear being killed.

Certainly not all, but many people who have few if any assets to lose want to be able to steal yours, as well as commit assaults and murder, with impunity. That’s what this is about. Allowing criminal sympathizers into positions of responsibility is not working out well.

I think the Minneapolis police ought to beat them to it. Start looking for other jobs and quit.
