Black Lives Matter activists pushing to 'defund the police' have proposed plans to replace officers with social workers, mental health advocates and homeless charities. Their chants called for widespread disbanding of U.S. police forces after Minneapolis councilors voted to abolish the city's police force in an historic move after days of protests over the killing of George Floyd during an arrest. However supporters of 'defund the police' say their demands are not necessarily about eliminating police departments or stripping agencies of all of their money. They say it is time for the country to address systemic problems in policing in America and spend more on what communities across the U.S. need, like housing and education.

“... replace officers with social workers, mental health advocates and homeless charities”
Liberals really do have child-like minds. The naivete and immaturity of these people is something to behold.
They think evil criminals, drug dealers, pimps and street gangs will suddenly just stop committing crimes now because police have been replaced with social workers?
In a few months they will be screaming to put the adults back in charge.
Isn’t it the white suburban mother that supposedly decides federal elections? The left was screaming that Trump was trying to scare them with illegals in 2016. Do democrats expect this “no police” policy to sell in suburbia?
Will Somalia open its borders to refugees from Minneapolis?
Wow......Who knew there was this place with no crime,no drugs,no child abuse and all you needed were social workers and mental health workers....Why haven’t we seen this place before????
To see how such a system ends up, look at Libya.
No law or order, rule by warlord.
WARLORDS!!!
I love those guys!
Law enforcement officers to be replaced with “vibes monitors.”
Nutcase, Democrats, Liberals, Progressives, America Hater Democrat Party low life....the living scum & vermin humanity, of today’s low life society gone mad!!! These fools and buffoons have not a clue as to what they dream and speak of. Wait until the likes of illegal drugs, murder, theft, crime, sex traffic, child & spouse abuse becomes rampant and unchecked. a vote cast for any Democrat is a one ticket to tyranny & terror.
Looking at the protester demographics, most of them are either college losers who never worked an honest day in their lives or various Democrat Soros/Obama/Biden, thugs and nutcases looking to destroy organized civilization. “SAD”!!!
To replace officers with social workers, mental health advocates and homeless charities??????
That’s admitting their communtity populations are really screwed up!
Lord have mercy...
Utopia can be yours!
We are in the throes of complete insanity.
“...replace officers with social workers, mental health advocates and homeless charities”
I wonder which one is going to go get the guy who holds up the liquor store, or pawn shop, or raping another person?
If you watch Live PD they wash it of most of the really stupid crap that cops do. But otherwise, I’d say if cops really stood for being cops, this is nuts. However, they are not and always look out for #1.
It looks like armed Black Panthers and Nation of Islam.
I predict certain counsel people are going to become very wealthy with the redirected police funding.
They say it is time for the country to address systemic problems in policing in America and ‘spend more’ on what communities across the U.S. need, like housing and education.
You cannot keep throwing money at a population who don’t want to do the work! Housing is laughable because they become ‘hood’ invested. Education as well because the incentive to learn is not there...just ask Oprah who failed with her programs because the girls wouldn’t do the work nor did they want to.
Wouldn’t the State Police hire most of the City Police ?
They simply fail to realize that the police are the only thing protecting them from us.
I visited some family in rural upstate New York this weekend, everything was quite normal. Great Picnic, no masks, no worries, happy times. Turn on the TV and listen to the Leftist propaganda from the news folks and their constant support for anarchy and you feel troubled. I listen to RUSH, turn off the msm and feel better.
