Monday on CNN’s “New Day,” Minneapolis City Council President Lisa Bender defended her council’s attempt to disband the Minneapolis police department following the death of George Floyd.
Bender said, “I think in Minneapolis, watching George Floyd’s death, and the actions of the four police officers that were involved has been a huge wake-up call for so many in Minneapolis to see what many already knew, which is that our police department is not keeping every member of our community safe. And so I think step one for us is to tell the truth. Nine council members from communities all across the city of all different backgrounds, standing together, to tell the truth, and say, this system isn’t working for too many of our neighbors for too long. Our reform efforts have failed, and we have done many, many attempts at reform and new leadership in the department and many things, and we still see this tragic death. And so I think the wake-up of our community is what’s driving the city council’s announcement yesterday. And now the hard work begins for us to rebuild systems that really work to keep all of our communities safe.”
Host Alisyn Camerota asked, “But to be clear, you’re not talking about reform. The word dismantle is intentionally different than reform. This is more than reform. This is dismantling. I mean, activists who support this are calling this a police-free future.”

It sounds like something out of the Babylon Bee. However I have zero sympathy for the people of Minneapolis, even the ones who had their businesses destroyed and looted. They voted for these clowns. Now they can live with their votes.
This is shaping up nicely.
I think they want to force Trump to call in the troops.
The minute this becomes “official” is when things go absolutely crazy. This will require troops to control.
And then they will slam Trump for calling in the troops on citizens.
YES
Have they checked to see if they can buy insurance in a city without a police force?
Nope. They are Communists and want to overthrow our Constitutional system of government for an all powerful centralized Communist state in the image of the Soviet Union and Red China.
You can’t outsmart crazy. They’ve gone full, semi-auto retard. This should be fun to watch.
Blacks call police for help 7 times as frequently as whites and other inconvenient truths

Shhh, don't say anything. They are handing President Trump the election. Never interrupt the enemy when it's destroying itself.
People capable of thinking should leave that insane hellhole.
If this dismantling of the police becomes a reality, I expect firearm sales to skyrocket in the Twin Cities area.
The thing that politicians hate the most is armed vigilante citizens who discover that they no longer need the police or government to protect them. That scares just about every corrupt politician.
I think that the Twin Cities will become an object lesson for the rest of the country in how not to respond to riots. I also expect that the toll on human life and the local economy will within a year turn the Twin Cities into a living hell.
So I expect her to bend over and allow the burglar to take ALL HER STUFF if someone breaks in cause ya know, privilege
I think Trump is letting the council hang themselves with their own rope by dismantling the police.
Dismantle the Police?! The response to violence works both ways. Neighborhoods will form their own armed patrols with swift, and permanent, justice meted out.
Let the police go by the wayside. By the way, if you have been waiting to sell your house, it’s too late. The whole place will look like Detroit or worse. Who cares, that’s who they voted for.
Based on the demographics she may never have to call the police.
In 2010, the population of the neighborhood was 6,150. The neighborhood was 83.5% White, 4.4% Black or African American, 0.6% American Indian or Alaska Native, 4.2% Asian or Pacific Islander, 4.1% Hispanic or Latino, 3.1% two or more races, and 0.2% other race.
These are some crazy bastards. Even the ancient Egyptians had police. I feel sorry the good people who are stuck in this city.
