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

To walk free.

He probably won’t regardless. The voter fraud in that state will be rampant, and there will be no one (including police, it seems) to stop them. And Minnesotans are hell-bent on electing anyone on the left.

The chief of the Minneapolis Police Department is a black man named Medaria Arradondo.

He assumed the position in 2017 after the previous police chief, a woman named Janeé Harteau, resigned in the aftermath of a Minneapolis Police Department officer, a black Somali man named Mohamed Noor, fatally shot unarmed Australian Tourist Justine Diamond.

The Minneapolis Police Department has been putting virtue signaling over competency for years.

Let Them

The resulting terror in the streets will be followed by an absolute rebellion by the remaining sensible people, who will call for an absolute right to arm and defend themselves.

The Communists will be thrown off the council - not without a big fight - but they WILL be bucked off in the end.

The idiots of Minnesota have to experience the world they voted for.

Let’s do it and just call Minneapolis a laboratory. I’ve got a hypothesis and I’m sure I’m not alone.

You will be recalling them IN FULL within 4 weeks.

It could actually work if they simultaneously repeal EVERY gun control law.

Sounds great. 911 what is your emergency? I'm being attacked in my home by armed intruders. Put them on the phone and our community outreach officer will tell them to leave. 😆

Yep....disband them and allow people to openly carry weapons in full sight. This would end the traffic-ticket ‘mafia’.

I’m only in favor if we can build fences around the cities to prevent the miscreants from leaving and bringing their insanity to the rest of us...

"... put less money into its police department and more
money into programs that stop crimes from happening
in the first place – affordable housing, addiction counseling,
violence prevention programs."

When the police force is done away with, where do these
clowns on the city council think the money will come from for
all of those "affordable housing", "addiction counseling"
and "violence prevention" programs?

You see everyone with any intelligence will abandon
that city after the police force is destroyed.
There will not be a population to extort taxes from.
