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.

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?!)

I have begun to suspect this is a pretext to implement Sharia law on a local level at hot spots around the country.

The Somalis are already moving out of Minneapolis.

They’re in Eden Prairie and Shakopee. Bloomington and Richfield too.

The FOP has a contract with the City. The liberal lunatics cannot break the contract.

I have been saying the same thing.

Not so much moving out as spreading.

The talking heads will blame the “white flight”
Yeah, but since whites and their racisim are the problem this should be a good thing...?

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.

"Minneapolis City Council resolves to replace police with community-led model"

Like Hitler's brownshirts. After all, they were just a bunch of nice neighborhood boys keeping the streets clean for Der Fuhrer.
