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

Posted on 06/09/2020 5:40:24 AM PDT by kevcol

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.

The left wants this so when things spin completely out of control, people will clamor for order and they will supply it in draconian measures.

Then when the useful idiots in their midst scream, they will be dealt with accordingly. Its an old story.

As Tucker said, they (the left) don’t want to abolish the police. They want to OWN the police.

[[[The liberal mind is incapable of understanding the human heart.]]]

The new left has been denying human nature for 50+ years.

Sarah Jane Olson (violent terrorist who posed as a St. Paul housewife) approves, no doubt.

Very true. As evidenced by the general public falling for this Chinese Virus scam head over heels.

Belongs in a mental institution...not on a city council.
The insanity brought on by liberalism knows no bounds. Female libs are the very worst. EVERYTHING is decided on emotions.
They do this and the mass exodus of businesses and residents will grow even faster than it already is. It will utterly destroy what’s left of their tax base that isn’t already going or gone.

This is the beauty of federalism. These zealots of anarchism can have their own little revolution at a pilot scale, while sane people look on. Let’er rip, MPLS!

But don’t forget the sharia element at the ready to fill the law enforcement vacuum.

I probably misspoke with my post (Jer. 17:9: The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?”). I meant to say, “the liberal mind is incapable of understanding human nature.”

Omar is obviously homesick for Somalia, so she’s working, along with the Minneapolis city council, to bring the worst of her home to MN.

I wonder if they’ll pressure Toyota to supply pickup trucks to BLM for their very own BLM “warlords?”

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

Ever read "Lord of the Flies?"

Mebbe they should first aspire to a “crime-free” future...

You all see disaster, I see opportunities.
For what? Simplicity and cultural fusion.
Sure, all the industry will flee but who needs it? Minnesotans will revert to the glorious age of their ancestors - subsistence farming, along with raping and pillaging neighboring villages.
Need I remind you what the name of their NFL team is?
Sure, there’s no ocean but there’s 10,000 lakes!
The new Vikings should mesh well with Somali pirates. I see synergy!
I’ll keep looking for longboats on Lake Superior...

The goal is Maoist China where in Onidalike Minnesota, everybody has nothing and thus all are equal.

“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.”

They have to help themselves I agree. But there really is such a thing as a ‘cycle of poverty’ that is hard to escape from, and I’m willing, through our government, to give a little help to those caught in the cycle.

Part of the help is what you’re talking about: less giveaways.

That ain't gonna be what you get. You'll just get a different kind of police, and you ain't gonna like it.
