The people of the great city of Minneapolis are better than people in other cities. They don’t need no stinkin’ police.

You know how if you double a penny every day for a month you get rich?

Well, prepare for Hell on earth because the left are going to be doubling their efforts to create chaos every day until Nov. 4.

Option z for them is that Trump gets re-elected. Anything goes in furtherance of that effort.

Disbanding police will generate the following consequences probably more. But, these come to mind.
- further depopulation of these liberal cities.
- communities will organize and fund their own private PD’s.
- communities that can’t afford to organize their own private PD’s will form vigilante organizations for protection.
- Lastly, there will be further Balkanization of the country; possibly kinda similar to Canada, maybe more so. At any rate storm clouds are gathering.

If they thought they were going to get money from the Federal Government, they just insured they won’t. It’s incredible that a City Council gets to make this decision for the people paying the taxes. They think if they pay the hoodlums, they won’t create havoc. It’s so sad that it’s funny that this is the solution they came up with.

“....activists have argued that MPD has failed to actually keep the city safe...”

The City Council sure hasn’t.

And replace it with? I see militias springing up overnight. There will be retribution the likes we’ve never seen. If the blacks feel discriminated against now, just wait until white militias take there revenge on their sorry asses. I can hear 911 operators now saying there is a 4 hour delay in responses.

You're about to see a protection racket spring up that will put the Mafia to shame. Every sane resident better get out of that ****hole NOW.

No cops to arrest the vigilantes who will be armed to the teeth and who will take no prisoners.

I assume policing will be left to gangs who will set up territories and protection rackets.

So some people will die...get over it. They would have died from COVID-19 in a couple months anyway.

It isn’t actually that unpresidented for cities to disband police departments, but usually, I think it is because they can’t afford them. They then enter into a contract with another agency, state police, sheriff’s department, or a neighboring city for policing. The problem with that is, the contract city loses a lot of control over the policies governing the cops. The other thing is, the agency will often hire most of the cops from the city because they can’t fill the manpower need.
