Minneapolis’ left-leaning City Council members on Sunday announced a veto-proof push to disband the Minneapolis police department, ramping up a major conflict inside the city following the death of George Floyd while in police custody.
Many activists have been pushing at least for their cities to defund local police departments, a move many other analysts considered unrealistic. The measure has been the main focus for many people protesting against police brutality.
The city council members spoke at a protest at Powderhorn Park, a neighborhood in Minneapolis. The number of supporters in attendance represented a veto-proof majority to push the measure through, Fox 9 reported.
KARE listed Council President Lisa Bender, VP Andrea Jenkins and Councilmembers Alondra Cano, Jeremiah Ellison, Steve Fletcher, Phillipe Cunningham, Cam Gordon and Jeremy Schroeder as attending the event, most of whom took turns to address the gathered crowd. Ellison is the son of state Attorney General Keith Ellison. Most members of the city council belonged to the Minnesota Democratic–Farmer–Labor Party.
“Our commitment is to end our city’s toxic relationship with the Minneapolis Police Department,” Bender said. “It is clear that our system of policing is not keeping our communities safe. Our efforts at incremental reform have failed, period.”

I haven’t been paying attention. Are the lawbreakers just going to turn themselves in to... what, the DA?
Or is murder and burglary and rape ok in Minneapolis now?
This seems really dumb.
Next they will become Somalia.
What I find odd is that multiple cop murders of civilians happened in that Minnesota city, the cop that killed a woman with a shotgun, George Floyd, and another. What is going on with Minnesota police?
here’s hoping they get mugged on their way home tonight.
They talk about doing this every once in a while. I’ll believe it when I see it.
Going to be a lot of blood on your hands
Guys, before you work out the details disband law enforcement now or be known, forever, as the racists you are.

That place has been so effd up for so many years I think a good general killing would do them some good.
I cant wait to hear what the women say about having to submit to rape while they are walking down the street.
Cant fix stupid.
The criminals will move the other way.

Just Do It.
Lets see how they handle on the raping and murder and looting with no police
What will ANTIFA demand next, because it’s never going to be

Every Minneapolis officer should call in with Wuhan Flu systems tomorrow morning. It will take 4 to 5 days before they can work.
