The Minneapolis City Council on Friday unanimously approved a measure to abolish the city’s police department — a radical proposal amid nationwide efforts by activists to defund local law enforcement agencies.

And when one of these fools is killed on the street or in their own homes, will they continue to support this idiotic idea? Perhaps the people of Minneapolis will rise to their own interest and counsel, and remove these people from office? Eh, nah. The people with the backbones have or soon will have moved out already. Minneapolis = Minnesh*thole.
Don’t bet on it when you have residents ‘thinking’ and saying things like this:
Mitchell Erickson’s fingers began dialing 911 last week before he had a chance to even consider alternatives, when two black teenagers who looked to be 15, at most, cornered him outside his home a block away from the park.
One of the boys pointed a gun at Mr. Erickson’s chest, demanding his car keys.
Flustered, Mr. Erickson handed over a set, but it turned out to be house keys. The teenagers got frustrated and ran off, then stole a different car down the street.
Mr. Erickson said later that he would not cooperate with prosecutors in a case against the boys. After the altercation, he realized that if there was anything he wanted, it was to offer them help. But he still felt it had been right to call the authorities because there was a gun involved.
Two days after an initial conversation, his position had evolved. “Been thinking more about it,” he wrote in a text message. “I regret calling the police. It was my instinct but I wish it hadn’t been. I put those boys in danger of death by calling the cops.”
No the govt social workers only work 8-5 Mon-Fri oh and 1 hour off for lunch ...
Do NOT call at lunchtime...
or after 4PM...they turn off the phones and get ready to leave4 for the day...
except for Fridays...they don’t turn the phones on again after lunch on Fridays...
and off course the calls all go to an answering machine...must screen those calls...too many annoying calls...
Hennepin County Sheriff’s Office wants no part of it. Believe it or not Hennepin County deputies have a very low opinion of the Minneapolis Police Department.
You described the level of woke mental retardation prevalent with the lily white soy boys of Minnecraponus.
Austin has Texas Rangers
One Riot, one Ranger they say
If those "boys" held a gun at this IMBECILE, then THEY were putting HIM "in danger of death". What a total moron. I hope he doesn't reproduce. Too stupid to live.
The city charter says that the city has to have the police force. They are now going to have to try and get it on the ballot to change the city charter. Last night they interviewed several people on the streets of Minneapolis, and none of them supported the idea. Matter of fact, all the blacks they interviewed said that Minneapolis needed MORE POLICE. I predict that the overwhelming majority will vote against abolishing the police. The City Council will then just start cutting the police budget which means that there will be less money to pay cops, which equeals, less cops. They will further restrict the cops from actually doing their job of enforcing laws. But, you can be sure that all the members of the City Council will have security details to protect them, their families, and their homes and offices.
Good for them.
And after everyone is murdered, raped, assaulted, and robbed, they won’t need a police department after all. In fact, they won’t need a moronic city council like this one either.
Too bad he didn’t offer up a virgin daughter to help appease the youts.
Let me take a wild guess, and go with, “What is community policing by sharia”, for $100, Alex
That is just a feel good for the idiots. Even if they do amend the City Charter, and abolish the Police Department, the County or the State would police it[the City] This was only to placate the idiots and get their votes.
Hey Meyer, you and Capone want to go to Minneapolis?
I hear Segal and Moran are already there.

Not a chance. I don't think Republicans even bother to put up candidates in that city. It would be a pointless waste of time and money.
The voters who disagree with the Dem's policies will just vote with their feet and relocate to a saner environment.
they are already there
now it will be up to normal people to wall the dam city off.
