Are they recruiting City Council members from the brain dead morons in NYC’s City Council? Yeah, disband the police and I hope the perps choose THEIR homes first to rob, their children first to rape and kill. If the populace voted these people in, I guess they should have to suffer the consequences of their stupidity.

“affordable housing, addiction counseling, violence prevention programs”

1. And the rioters (oh, sorry, the “protesters”), totally destroyed the most recently built new “affordable housing” project built by a private developer and not yet occupied.

2. And what does the idiots on the city council leave out, and most important of all, that would reduce “addiction” and rates of violence???? Jobs, jobs, jobs, which means businesses, businesses, businesses, hundreds of which they allowed to be destroyed.

Who need the NFL, MLB, NBA, NHL, just set up tv camera’s all over this idiotic city and we can watch every day how animals live in the city without order. Ratings would go over the top.

Mr. Steve Fletcher has consultant friends who are going to bill the city millions (and give him kickbacks) under the "Kumbaya" program.

The tax-takers are going to support it because they're too ignorant to realize that it's not going to happen and the money wasted on Mr. Fletcher's friends will harm them in the long run.

Mr. Fletcher's friends are likely shrewd enough to foment more unrest to make this an ongoing project they can bill to yearly.

They can call it "The Mau Maus and the Flak Catchers" a la Tom Wolfe.

They built city walls to keep unwanted people out. We would have to build city walls to keep them in.

Reminds me of “Atlas Shrugged”

Paraphrasing

You consider us evil? Well then, we shall leave and not participate. We’re now on strike.

Do not protest when the basic necessities and infrastructures dry up. You fought for this, bleed for this, died for this and now, you have your greatest wish.

Less money for the police and more in programs to stop crime?
It is not so easy to reverse the loss of family values and create responsible families.
The damage has already been done .... now carry it

Oh, PLEASE! I'll get richer than Disney on the ticket sales! Pay TV, gladiator contests, throw some wolves into the pens, I can see the signs!

"Come to Minniapolis! See every sick fantasy, live!"
"Democrats die, screaming, before your very eyes!"
"Bring the kids!"
"Fun for the whole family!"

This is not about disbanding the police

There will be new police - for example, Muslim Sharia Patrols.

It was spent over 60 years since LBJ’s “Great Society” BS.

“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 STRONGLY support this approach in ALL Democrat run cities ...
