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.

Not to worry. The destruction of Mineapolis can result in flipping the state from blue to red.

Don’t worry about the cities destruction. It is a good thing

After being destroyed, Minneapolis can become America again

Why would she resign? The city of Minneapolis voted only 10 percent for Donald Trump; 90 percent of the residents are in agreement with the kook left. This is reflected in the makeup of the city council - 13, of which 12 are Dems and 1 is a Green. No Rs. I’m sure the great bulk of residents are quite pleased with this type of leadership. As the adage used to say, “let them stew in their own juices”.

Lisa will have armed private security protecting her and her spawn living behind gated walls.

“”””””Citizens of MN...had enough yet?””””””

We had enough of it long ago. That’s why we make the crazy ones stay within the borders of Minneapolistan. They have their own bizarre world going on there.

Ask her if the citizens should remain unarmed while criminals continue to acquire and use firearms in their crimes?

What is with these people? An incident happens, and they have to do something about it immediately, without consideration of consequences or common sense.

The delusional assumption inside this lunatic woman is if police don’t exist, bad people won’t be bad.

Nobody has to teach children to be bad. You have to teach children to be good.

Put up a sign saying, “Black Owned Business” and your business won’t be looted. HA !

“Who would EVER have believed that white guilt would carry us to this doorstep?”

I’m white and I don’t feel guilty. I’d like to improve the lot of the blacks that need some outside help. Getting them jobs is how I want to help, and I’ll do that by trying to keep Trump in office.

The black anger being generated by the media and Michelle Obama increases their (anyone’s, actually) tendency toward violence and crime.

So let’s increase anger and take away police. Wow, what an idea!

She should just shut up and do it. Vote this week. We can have a five month experiment between now and November. Dems can shoot a commercial from Minneapolis showing the rest of the country what paradise looks like.

It seems to me that as 85% of police departments are short of officers both old and new, the problem for unappreciated police seems solvable. Politicians who badly handle police, teachers, and trash removal tend to do badly at the polls.

GET OUT NOW!!!

This is the Minneapolis real estate market. Looks like a 600 home-to-market spike 5/29 - 6/5. Let's see what this graph looks like with the next report on 6/12...

I think they are bluffing to gain power over the police, and if they aren’t bluffing my feeling is that the voters will notice if everything is suddenly out of control and the police have all gone to other jurisdictions.
