Therefore they have basically declared war on the police. They are pursuing this war on a propaganda level, a political level, and on a kinetic level. They are winning.
The left wins elections by apathy as much as they win by their lies. With a bias media to cover for them they can move their agenda along in relatively secret way...however, firing your police and allowing mobs to run free tend to get noticed, even if the media tries to cover it up.
The City Council should enjoy this moment because this may be the high point in their career because their action is going end it (their careers) when the people have had enough.
