Minneapolis City Council president: 'The goal' is a 'police-free future'
Washington Examiner ^ | June 9, 2020 | Madison Dibble

The Minneapolis City Council president said the city is aiming to have a "police-free future" as it shifts to dismantle its police department following the death of George Floyd.

Council President Lisa Bender noted on Monday that the change will take time but said that the city is aspiring to change the department completely with the goal of eventually eliminating police altogether.

"I think the idea of having a police-free future is very aspirational, and I am willing to stand with community members who are asking us to think of that as the goal because so many folks in our community have seen us work on reform," she told CNN's Chris Cuomo.

Well, good luck with that. I hope the city council members are some of the first to experience the unintended consequences good and hard...

She needs to resign, I hope the citizens there demand the entire council resign now. At best, they are incompetent. It’s worse than that.

Well, that just aspires the hell out of me!

Remind me to never venture into that progressive, soon-to-be-sharia shit hole.

Not that I ever would have anyway.

Drove through there once...won't ever go back.

Who will work for the PD while they “transition”? This is like a kid saying their goal is to never have to take the time to eat again.

And what exactly does the human heart do once the restraints are removed?

The liberal mind is incapable of understanding the human heart.

Who would EVER have believed that white guilt would carry us to this doorstep? This is pure, unadulterated insanity. How can people reach adulthood and have not progressed beyond infantilism?

Democrats have a long history of bypassing formal law enforcement procedures. I guess they want to bring back lynching.

I see a completely Fortune-500-company-free Minneapolis in my crystal ball.

What benefits? No smog or pollution from people going to work in their air polluting vehicles. No foot traffic so no trash on the sidewalks or roadways as people run like h*ll to avoid being killed.

The completion of the anti-consumerists sentiments as retail dies, and people lead a much simpler life. Who needs groceries? Become a breatharean.

See? It's all good.

This must mean they support constitutional carry like in places like Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, the Dakotas, and elsewhere like that.

For a more definitive look at what has brought us to this doorstep may I suggest you listen to John MacArthur’s sermon on “Who is to Blame for the Riots?” https://www.gty.org/

“”I think the idea of having a police-free future is very aspirational...”
Why stop there? What need is there for city inspectors? Firemen? Ambulance personnel? Indeed, why do they need city council people?

``

Utopia consists of drug cartels, Somali gangs, Antifa/BLM enforcers running Minneapolis and later Minnesota, while naive white virtue signalers crouch on one knee to their benevolent new racist masters.

This doublespeak tells me these rush to judgement morons just realized what they did and know thy cannot disband the police because the place will be in flames within days of doing so.That is what happens when you put a bunch of SJW kids with no impulse control on a city council.
