Just 2 months after voting to DISMANTLE the police and SLASH its budget, city council members pressed the department's chief over a surge in crime prompting a GOP candidate to slam the laymakers as hypocrites. 'Residents are asking, where are the police?' Council Member Jamal Osman said on Tuesday, adding that calls to the police department from constituents have gone unanswered. 'That is the only public safety option they have at the momment. MPD. They rely on MPD. And they are saying they are nowhere to be seen.' Osman and other council members questioned police Chief Medaria Arradondo on Tuesday about the increase in crime, including daylight car jackings, robberies, assaults, shootings and street racing. But others noted that the council just recently slashed the police budget by $1.1million and also voted to amend the city charter that would allow for the dismantling of the entire police department.

But are you a raging liberal with a wife who wears a turban and raise your children to be American-hating liberals too? If not, 4 is a good number ;>)

They're starting the send in the social worker in lieu of police in Rochester NY.

Apparently, the 9-11 operator will make the decision.

So what would a social worker have done in the case of...whatever his name is...naked in the street on PCP...Give him a hug?? A big shot of some magic medicine they use to turn people into zombies??

As a former dispatcher/911 operator, I would flat REFUSE REFUSE REFUSE to make that decision to send in a social worker. It’s nothing but a law suit against ME PERSONALLY waiting to happen. No thank you.

My buddy lives a block form where Saint Floyd died of a drug overdose. He has been told don’t bother to call the police. They won’t show up there.

>Can’t wait for one of these deranged city council members to get shot after they abolish the police like they already voted to do.

I wouldn’t go so far in saying I can’t wait for this to happen. However it’s going to be an inevitability that something will occur because of decisions they made due to inferior intellect.

Welp, once the untrained start getting killed, they’ll beg the police back and I hope, sadly, many will refuse and leave for cities they are appreciated in.

Every police officer in Mogadishu on the Mississippi should resign. Let the City Council and Mayor (and idiot Governor) deal with lawlessness. They made it.

If they eliminate the police who’s going to shoot innocent White Australian women?
