Minneapolis City Council members are expected to vote today on changes they plan on incorporating pertaining to the police department in the aftermath of George Floyd’s death.

The plan was still in the works on Thursday, according to Star Tribune. City officials and members of the Minnesota Department of Human Rights discussed the process of Mineappolis’s probe meant to determine if the city’s police department engaged in racial discrimination in the last 10 years. Today, officials are set to vote on a temporary injunction to immediately halt some MPD practices during an emergency meeting called by Mayor Jacob Frey. If approved, they’ll need a judge to authorize it, which is likely to take place next week.

“The timeline for the impact of the [temporary restraining order] is for this weekend. It’s for immediate accountability measures for the Police Department. It’s not meant to be anywhere near starting this bigger conversation,” said Lisa Bender, the president of the city council.

Or go back to what happened before police. The rich protected themselves privately. The poor well it sucks to be poor, almost synonymous for prey.

The British were almost the last in Europe to adopt professional government funded police. They viewed a professional police force as an example of continental tyranny, something the French would do. (For a flavor of this see UK TV series “City of Vice”!) Today to not have police, wouldn’t be discovering lost libertarian principles but displaying political cowardice, intellectual & moral laziness and practicing true racism. Racism where the liberal politician is basically admitting that a certain demographic is incapable of obeying the law so we won’t require them to.

If they do this, who will confiscate the guns they want to ban?

The morgue guys can scoop ‘em up when collecting all the stiffs each day. Of course only the most trash version guns will be left on the scenes.
