Seattle does as well. They may be next.

Yes, I just saw that report and they were saying that Portland will also defund their police. I believe Portland, OR is the birthplace of Antifa. Those people will be running that city before long.

Often times the best way to get bad policies reversed is to give it to them good and hard.

What that means is the county sheriff’s office then gets the job, they hire more deputies, and bill the city, and the city government thereafter is not politically responsible for what the county deputies do.

PREPARE for unmitigated street to street, house to house, combat. Murder, riots, mayhem, untold numbers of killings. This state and city have lost their minds. The citizens of that area need to immediately move to recall every one of those council members. IF THEY DO NOT, then they DESERVE what they get. Have a wonderful day and life Minnesota. I have read so many times that this state is more RED than the Soviet Union was. Just look at some of their voting records. Jessie the Body as governor, and an absolute idiot and fool, would be comedian elected as a US Senator?? Good freaking grief!!! Damn am I glad that I live in the South and this state I call home, Alabama. At least our people THINK once in a while before we do stupid crap like this.

They have been over-educated to the point where they believe their own bullsh**.

“— County mental health professionals sent to mental health calls, not police officers.”

I almost agree with that. My position would be for one police officer to have a non-lethal weapon ready.

“The stampede of Business and Normal people out of Minneapolis is going to be epic.”

And that will no doubt include what good cops remain in the department, which will probably begin soon regardless of what the Mpls. council does.

And good luck replacing them.

Along with businesses closing, get ready for huge decrease in enrollment at U of Minn and other colleges in the city.

My advice to the people of Minneapolis: If I were you, I’d pack up and leave as soon as humanly possible. Abandon the city. Leave it to the ferals.

The police (from top to bottom) should beat them to it, take a walk, and form the largest private security firm in the state. Their services will be in demand.

Many people in jail are mentally ill. I heard half the cases in Rykers are. They should open up the sanitariums.

They may end up replacing it with a police department that doesn’t protect Republicans.

Is this a sarcastic fiction designed to fake people out for a laugh?
