City council members in Minneapolis appear to be backpedaling after slashing some $8 million from the city's police budget, claiming that 'Defund the Police' was never their 'framework.'
In June, Minneapolis city council members Steve Fletcher and Phillipe Cunningham appeared with seven colleagues on a stage bearing a huge sign reading 'Defund Police' during a protest in Powderhorn Park.
Now, the duo seem to be mincing words, with Fletcher telling KSTP-TV on Tuesday: ''Defund' is not the framework the council has ever chosen,' as Cunningham audibly agreed.

I wish we had a billionaire like Soros who would fund an organization to form riot brigades to bus all around the country to liberal elite neighborhoods and reek havoc every time Biden does something stupid, which will be every day. Then they would probably increase police spending, although probably only in their neighborhoods. Seriously, when are we conservatives stop putting up with their crap and fight back?
Each one of these city council ‘idiots’ need to be identified around election time, and pushed out. If you allow the murder rate situation to continue, then you will flip into another ‘Chicago-theme’. In that case, even adding more police doesn’t work anymore.

but truth will out...people will not go to city centrals if there are animals lurking about ready to attack....nobody want to see bums peeing and pooping on the street and nobody wants to have to walk past the stench of bum camps....
no theatre...no movies ..no concerts..no athletic events...no shopping...no restaurants or bars...
They will need to reap what they’ve sewn for a while and vote the turds out if they wise up.
These duplicitous hypocrites sure enough did intend to defund the police.
They were bowing down to the BLM Marxists, appeasing their base.
Now that they see the repercussions of being stupid, they turn around and try and convince us that we are stupid and didn't hear what they intended.
How do the taxpayers of Minneapolis get their money and their city back now?

....pushed out... of a helicopter?
Change will come from the bottom up if it ever does. The decisions these uneducated pukes in city councils and legislatures in these cities and towns are subjecting the lower end of the spectrum to lawlessness drugs murder and abuse. The question is when will they say we have had enough and come to thier senses. The remedy for rot starts at the bottom village, town, city, state
Bedford Falls to Pottersville in 6 months
The mob controlling the magic boxes are the ones making the rules.
It’s written right into the Constitution, comrade.
Or didn’t you know that?
Now it’s time for you to go home before curfew.
Good place for firing your muskets to kill people.
Have these two councilmen ever joined a police patrol and made 911 runs with them as they randomly come up? If not, then they do not have a clue about what the rank and file police personnel experience on a nightly basis. Are these two dunces willing to go with the social workers to answer calls regarding domestic violence? Domestic violence calls sometimes become killing fields. This experiment to transform the police department will not end well. Preliminary evidence indicates that as the murder rate rises.
Phillipe looks like a poster boy for a girlie-man. He is just what is needed to make those social worker calls. Yep, and pigs can fly.
According to Wikipedia, that “Phillipe” thing is a girly man, if you catch my meaning.
For anyone who is following this, who is being killed? Is there a pattern?
Really, what difference does it make?. Yes, there are good conservatives in these cities, and yes, they’re suffering. But these democrat hellholes are dying and there’s no fixing them.
They shouldn’t even be part of rational discussion anymore. Just make the sign of the Cross, turn your back...and walk away.
