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.

Pray for any 911 operator who consents to decide between sending a social worker/violence interrupter or a real LEO on a call-a lawsuit is only a call away...
My degree is in social work-and I don’t recall preventing violence in the general public as part of my education and training-only how to talk with, disarm etc agitated mentally ill people in a psych facility setting-and in my career as a workers comp case manager, I’ve never had to even deal with that. If the requirements for a degree in social work now include qualifying as a violence interrupter, I haven’t heard about it-but if true, it makes my degree even more worthless than it was in the 1st place...
Those idiots who encouraged and supported this are now demanding the very police they want dead to do thier job, funny! The police who guard them should not show
Typical libtard M.O. Screw something up and blame it on others. “We didn’t know THAT was going to happen!”
She is a female. Shouldn't her title be Councilwoman Jamal Oswoman?
Some people are just not woke enough.

“If they eliminate the police whos going to shoot innocent White Australian women?”
That damn sure went into the memory hole didn’t it?
Elect Kamala & Joe and this will be going on in all blue states.
I am surprised that the police chief stuck around this long, as I would have told the city council “You asked for it and you got it, good bye and have a great day”

“Apparently, the 9-11 operator will make the decision.”
Shortly there will be a problem employing 911 operators. As soon as they send in a social worker that gets shot or beaten, whose going to bear the responsibility for what happened? The council is going to blame the operator that made the decision to send in what the counsel provided, probably saying the operator misjudged the situation. Only problem is, is they defund and break up the police, the only thing available will be toast. And if enough of them get killed, who will take the social workers’ jobs? It just going to keep getting worse as the dominoes fall.

Typical woke Minnecraponus. Dismantle the police, yet still expect them to do their jobs 110%. The whole Met Council area is devoid of any concept of reality.
This is reimagined policing. You asked for it Minneapolis. Now shut up and take it.
Besides....calling the police comes from a place of privilege according to one of the city council members. So Leftists in Minneapolis are learning to check their privilege. Win-Win!
These Leftists’ egos make it difficult for them to grasp the consequences of their own stupidity.
