If you’ve been tuned into the Minneapolis public safety scene, you know that for years, Reclaim the Block and other grassroots community groups have been asking the city to do one thing: stop investing in policing.
Budget meeting after budget meeting, they’d turn out with their petitions and signs, demanding the city 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.
The council’s been listening.
“I think we’ve had a vision for a while of wanting to see another kind of city response to those [911] calls,” says Council Member Steve Fletcher, whose Ward 3 covers parts of downtown.
Calls about mental health crises could be answered by mental health professionals. Calls about opioid abuse could be answered by addiction experts. Instead, both get cops, usually armed.
But it’s one thing to think that’s a good idea and another to get it done. The city has “struggled” to put any of these reforms in place in a substantial way, Fletcher says.
Then George Floyd was killed by Minneapolis police.

I’m stunned.
*** TOTAL DEMOCRAT FAILURE ***
Insanity.
When you dial 911, what happens next?
They might as well disband it. They won’t dare lay a hand...much less a bullet..on any blacks. Oh sure, they’ll pick off a white Australian woman now and then but that won’t help their crime problem.
They’ve been silent. I don’t know who the mayor nor the police chief are who did not fire this crazy cop
What kind of calls are those.... “I feel like I’m having a nervous breakdown” or “my husband is crazy and he’s trying to kill me”?
.. And then they try to discredit the “Boogaloo movement”.
Every moment they prove the boogaloos right.
I’m not surprised Minneapolis is a liberal city. Let’s see how many of the people stay in Minneapolis. I have a feeling that a large percentage of them will leave, but they will then vote for the same kind of liberal politicians in their new location. It’s a sickness with them.
Minneapolis City Council members consider disbanding the police.
Great! Then we will have all the criminals, nutcases, gangsters, perverts, lawbreakers, shitsters in the country concentrated in one city.
LOL! Then, the only people who will have police are the very wealthy who can afford private security?
That sounds so ‘fair’ and egalitarian...
Large urban areas are going to only get much, much worse.
Law-abiding citizens will abandon them in droves, and they’ll implode into hellholes.
Text a selfie and if you’re not in a protected class good luck
“...I think we’ve had a vision for a while..”
A vision after mushrooms and LSD.
Think Klobuchar.
Then the rest of the country will have a nice laboratory to see what happens.
“When you dial 911, what happens next?”
The BLM shows up, driving a pickup truck and with four guys armed with AK-47s, they stride to the door, and start firing through the doors and windows. Then they kick down the door (or what is left of it) and go room to room, clearing everything as they pass.
Nobody calls 911 twice.
Minneapolis & Minnesota Democrat Party members = Confirmed 100% Butt Wipes...everyone of them!!! Sick puppies from head to toe!!! True Obamabots failed “Magicians” & True Joe Biden Retards!!! End of story...Case closed!!!
Trump will easily carry Minnesota in November, 2020!!!
I think it could work! But then, I don't live in Minneapolis....
