They tried this crap starting in the 1960s in major US cities. Anybody who lived during those times know what happened.

...affordable housing, addiction counseling, violence prevention

$22 TRILLION and counting spent on those things. How has it worked out?

Gotta hand it to the Dems...they are 100% immune to empirical results and cause and effect. It's quite a feat to ignore real-world results.

Go for it. Turn your city into a free fire war zone. It’s what you deserve for being Leftist idiots.

Absolutely. When your enemy is threatening to light himself on fire you don’t blow out the match.

I'm with you, brother. I'll watch the results from afar - from the beaches at the shore.

Fence the place off.

Sell tickets just like they do at the zoo.

Maybe put in a monorail so you can observe them safely from above.

Win/win.

If mental health and drug calls get counselors .... what do murders and robberies get?

The 4 stages of Santa Clause:
1) You believe in Santa Clause.
2) You don’t believe in Santa Clause.
3) You are Santa Clause.
4) You look like Santa Clause.

Apparently, Council Member Steve Fletcher never made it past Stage 1 for some reason.

Steve FletcherL

“Several of us on the council are working on finding out what it would take to disband the Minneapolis Police Department and start fresh with a community-oriented, nonviolent public safety and outreach capacity.”

I am actually all In favor of the big cities doing this. Let them rot while the rest of us prosper outside the cities. It’s a change in our lifestyle as I am a huge fan of big cities like New York and Chicago. This seems like the solution preferred by the majority in these areas, so...good luck!

Do it a-holes. But come crying when your city turns to $hit.
