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.

So...
Once the police are banned. And presumably the warlords/ gangs take over all policing activities.

Will they rename the city West Mogadishu or West Detroit?

Over the course of my lifetime I have paid almost a million dollars in taxes. Much of that wasted on freebees and welfare. Does that absolve me?

Vote Democrat if you want to live in a city or town with no police department. Who you gonna call when crime is at your front door? Dial 1800 Go-Pound-Sand-Sucker. The democrat run cities don’t have enough violence and murder for the elected democrats. They want to eliminate the last line of defense against the criminals. Every city will be Chicago on steroids.

maybe she can go into the Hood, and be a real crime stopper with no guns. Maybe she can ‘show’ us how it is done.

Wonder if people will sue the City, if someone is injured for lack of police support?

“Does that absolve me?”

To a great extent especially considering that the less fortunate pay no taxes. Also, if we vote for those who will give us the best economy we are helping.

I can’t wait to see how the Kentucky Governor’s proposal to give blacks free heath insurance plays out with those who will pay their premiums.

Getting them jobs is how I want to help

Why is it your job to get them jobs? How about them wanting to get their own jobs. First step is to stop welfare. Hunger is a great motivator.

All Democratically controlled cities need to follow Minneapolis lead, and get rid of their police forces. This will help create an influx of new pro-conservative voters and new pro-GOP voters. A remaining problem will be the continuation of RINO Republicanism in most cities, instead of the need for Conservative Republicanism.

Welp, there goes your property values if you live in Minneapolis.

Get out now before these leftist tyrants totally destroy your city.

Before you do something completely stupid, Council President Bender, do a trial run:

No policing auto traffic. No policing auto accidents. No policing auto thefts, including car-jackings. No policing overnight break-ins. No policing robberies-in-progress. No policing 9-1-1 domestic situations. No policing child abductions. No policing -- period.

That would probably mean that 90+% of the city regulations would become null-and-voice, too.

How stupid can Libs be?

I wrote to the city council and mayor of our very patriotic and safe city in Idaho suggesting they quickly form a commission to figure out how to attract companies fleeing Minneapolis. The mayor got back to me right away.

Give blacks and antifa what they want.

No police.

Whites and sane blacks will flee.

20 years from now, all leftist cities will be Detroit: Bombed out shells.

We apparently will need more examples of failed leftism.
