The Minneapolis City Council on Friday unanimously passed a resolution to pursue a community-led public safety system to replace the police department following the death of George Floyd at the hands of the citys police.
The move comes days after a veto-proof majority of the council voted to disband the police department after the country erupted in protest over the killing of Floyd, a black man who died when a white police officer knelt on his neck for nearly nine minutes.
The murder of George Floyd on May 25, 2020, by Minneapolis police officers is a tragedy that shows that no amount of reforms will prevent lethal violence and abuse by some members of the Police Department against members of our community, especially Black people and people of color, five council members wrote in the resolution.

Yep, it’s the same old songbook that’s been played for almost 60 years. House prices in North Idaho, the last refuge, rose 15% last year for a reason.
Young hipsters were loving city life. Now that they are starting families and cities will have minimal to no policing, city life won’t be so attractive.
Here it comes. Pres. Trump please don’t interfere. Minneapolis will be a learning experience for all of America.
This dumb move certainly gives the defendants, including the killer, such a technicality. In a highly charged case like this, the city council should insist on “justice,” but never call the killer a “murderer” because that’s a sure fire way to tilt the pinball machine.
“I say more like 5 months.”
especially if these morons do more than just pass resolutions ... if they really do eliminate the police department, then ALL insurance of ALL types will be cancelled at which point property values will instantly plummet to zero and all commerce of all types will cease ...
Kind of like Alex’s droogs taking over the police force at the end of “Clockwork Orange.”
This will work just as well.
This is the classical insurgency/coup model, where you start to replace some of the police and/or military with your own militants.
They are working the classic communist revolution playbook.
Here it comes. Pres. Trump please dont interfere.

Actually, I wish he would interfere. Build a giant wall around the place, at least, so the vermin have no place to escape to once they realize their socialist utopia has gone south (oops... sorry! Is saying “gone south” politically incorrect?!)
He** ya! Go for it!
I have begun to suspect this is a pretext to implement Sharia law on a local level at hot spots around the country.
Sort of like the warlords in Afganistan?
The Somalis are already moving out of Minneapolis.
They’re in Eden Prairie and Shakopee. Bloomington and Richfield too.
I have been saying the same thing.
Not so much moving out as spreading.
Mogadishu on the Mississippi
Lol! Who knows? The entire situation is a huge mess.
But we do know two things:
1. none of those aholes who STARTED it will take ONE IOTA of blame.
2. it will be Bush's Trump's fault.
Talk about falling back on tired, old, USELESS chiches.
Assimilation has utterly failed; Lincoln had real reservations about what to do with the freed slaves, and this is why.

Blacks outside of the inner city reservations are just fine good people.
But the inner city culture, nourished and built by Democrats following Lyndon Johnson’s War on Poverty which destroyed their families, separated them from the Church and allowed the rise of gangs, have succeeded in making millions not only poorly educated, but often willfully ignorant. Those are the thugs being led by the white wealthy trust-fund communist babies of antifa.
Like Hitler's brownshirts. After all, they were just a bunch of nice neighborhood boys keeping the streets clean for Der Fuhrer.
The Somalis are headed for the 'burbs?
YIKES!
I'd wait for winter: ICICLES!
