Ilhan Omar: It’s Time to Disband the Minneapolis Police Department
Breitbart ^ | June 05 2020 | JOSHUA CAPLAN

Posted on 06/05/2020 3:28:20 PM PDT by knighthawk

Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) on Friday called for the Minneapolis Police Department (MPD) to be disbanded and for the city to “reimagine” public safety after local protests over the death of resident George Floyd descended into riots and looting.

“The Minneapolis Police Department has proven themselves beyond reform,” Omar wrote on social media. “It’s time to disband them and reimagine public safety in Minneapolis.”

The Minnesota Democrat then thanked Minneapolis City Council member Steve Fletcher for voicing his support the measure in a TIME op-ed.

all they are really trying to do is put a decorative toilet seat on the crappie known as Mogudisu on the Mississippi.

And I am sure she would immediately replace the police with tax payer funded shiria patrols.

Is there a police department in Mogadishu?

Technicals in Toyota trucks. Is what will be the result.

Genius observation.

Though I doubt many would stick with the project once actual troops were given the go-ahead to take them down.

Which the President would swiftly and certainly put forth.

Or you could make the Minneapolis department one that good, honest cops want to work for, and stop breeding corruption and apathy.

No?

After they disband the police, they will replace them with party-controlled cadres labeled “Militia”. I mean why reinvent the wheel when the Bolsheviks have provided the model? The new militia will concentrate less on property crimes (after all property is theft) and focus more on ‘hate’ crimes, those with low ‘social scores’, etc.

“It is time for” the criminal omar to have her citizenship stripped and for her to be deported. What a pathetic loser and general low-IQ misfit.

Yeah. Wouldn't that be just too effen' bad. Skinnies machinegunning each other, and the local government pleading for the Marine Corps.

Hmmm, somehow that sounds familiar...

The Minstrel-Boy to the war is gone,
In the ranks of death you'll find him;
His father's sword he has girded on,
And his wild harp slung behind him.

Just what do the people espousing disbanding police forces think will ensue? And what do they envision as replacing them? Anything? Or will it spontaneously cause a kumbaya moment and suddenly all will be living in peaceful harmony? There are predators and miscreants out there, and I for one am damn glad we have police forces to deal with them.

It’s time to eject Minnesota from the union. Barring that, cordon off all of the Metropolitan Council counties (Hennepin, Ramsey, Washington, Dakota, Scott, Carver, Anoka, add Sherburne and Wright County for good measure to make sure Hennepin County is blocked off).

Please Minneapolis. Be our test case for a police-free city.
