Who replaces the police? BLM activists call for officers to be replaced with social workers, mental health advocates and homeless charities
UK Daily Mail ^ | June 8, 2020 | Milly Vincent

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.

“Do not despair. For conservative America, the best event is the continuing process of the destruction of the cities by the people who live there.”

Problem is the RATS have a way of scattering when trouble hits, and guess where they go?

Got any RAT exterminators where you live?

This is the result of decades of public education indoctrination.

Some years ago after reading about a particularly egregious example of ideological stupidity I wrote a short humor piece where the captain of an alien space ship what expressing his disbelief over what his science officer had just informed him on scanning Earth, that he’d detected a Class 8.6 Stupid.

The captain said that was impossible given that most stupid place in the known universe —the planet of Hey, Watch Me Do This — was only known to reach a low Class 7 Stupid.

Since then I’ve fleshed the idea out a bit to explain this: that low IQ stupid or foolishness can only threaten so much around the Stupid and that it takes a particularly tortured sort of ideology, one Benton being unable to sustain a civilization, to achieve higher severities of Stupid. That only technically smart nitwits can endanger people far and wide.

The scale is like the Richter scale, where each tick up it is much worse than the previous, the scale is not linear..

So where a Class 6 Stupid is about the limit of what low IQ Stupid can threaten the survival of the Stupid and those around them, a group of people or a community, to achieve Class 7 (threatening a province to a country), Class 8 (a Civilization or even a world), Class 9 (galactic civilizations) or Class 10 (existence itself) all require something like Cultural Marxism or political correctness to achieve.

It isn’t therefore that the Left (who attain mid range Class 8 Stupid far too often) is not as stupid as stupid can be but that they simply lack the power to attain to a more threatening level of Stupid ... at this time.

how wonderful ... let’s immediately stop funding and totally eliminate police presence from those communities that request it. if/when emergency calls come in, they could be handled on an “as available” basis with full payment required up front in advance.

No. State Police physical standards are much higher. You never see overweight state cops.

Earlier I quoted Sir Humphrey from Yes, Prime Minister.

On Twitter, where I just happened to find the quote after a search, one poster gobbldygooked:

“Problems cease to exist once when one’s ethically correct aspiration(/s) is(/are) being taken into account. Those who’re having temporal(irrespective of whose terms, i.e.,short-,etc) bad debts should ,ideally, be channelized through proper functions to remedial redressal.”

Actually, we need to eliminate public funding of universities where these moronic ideas are sustained among those who can’t hold jobs where people expect results....

Sociology Departments are full of people fully qualified to do landscaping work, scoop muck out sewers and pick fruit ... use them for that rather than Illegal Aliens.

Hey, put Americans to work!

“ What happens when someone want what you have worked hard to get?”

If you worked hard to get anything, you sure as Hell will not be in Minneapolis...ever.

Speculation on your part. Why do you think that?

They’re handling their weapons in a safe manner (well two for sure).

Everyone on here needs to read the trilogy written by Kurt Schlichter on what happens when this kind of insanity takes over part of America! Kurt is like a prophet!

Surprised they haven’t scrubbed that video.
Pics don’t do it justice. This is clumsy savagery at it’s finest.

So we don’t already have any social workers, mental health advocates, or homeless charities?

I did not know that. How racist of me.

I don’t see how these groups and/or the media can keep a straight face when they list these demands.

Oh, sorry, “call for” not demand.
