Minneapolis City council officially votes to disband police department
- Thread starter TTU/UK fan
- Start date
Yep, read up on what Camden, NJ did. It’s being looked at as the model for police reform.
Mental health calls have a high risk for police deaths compared to other calls. Now instead, we are going to send in unarmed mental health professionals?
Traffic offenses being handled by traffic cameras are BS, but what happens when that person decides they arent going to pay that traffic ticket? Whos going to make them? A traffic camera cant get the guy with a car full of meth and weapons off the street or get the guy with the felony warrant for beating his wife.
None of these people think through anything. They live in la la land.
The worst part about all of this is the idea that govt programs will fix these problems, when the govt programs (welfare) were the root of the problem and why the African American community has been held down. Along with high taxes and tax codes from Dems that have encouraged fatherless homes.
They want change, so "lets keep voting for the party that kept us enslaved." Seems legit.
Will the medics and other responders go into a scene without police protection? Will they risk their lives to save others without knowing the scene is secure?
And this is why we have a second amendment. Actually, I'm all for this. Guy tries to use the womens room, shoot him. Tries to break into your car, shoot him. Looks at you funny, shoot him. Eventually, when all the criminals are dead, there is a big drop in crime.
Ps, they should start by shooting the biggest criminals. The politicians.
I think we understand how Omar got elected, Minnesota is beyond repair. More aptly Minneapolis

It is a crazy idea and lacks all resemblance of common sense. There isn't an argument otherwise.
Just this morning on the news, there’s an amber alert on a 7 month old saying the kid was in danger because the mom was “mentally unstable”. So I guess if this was in Minnesota, they will have a mental health professional chase down this crazy lady?
This is, in part, the result of schools/colleges/universities not teaching people how to think reason and instead pushing decision making based on feelings. None of these politicians have any idea about the law of unintended consequences.
“Unintended”? I think the politicians know full well what they’re doing to these cities.
The unintended consequence would be if this unhinged lunacy causes voters to wake up.
This excuse won't float ...saw an ex NYC police chief on the other day he said that the standard rule is once the cuffs go on that you back off this type stuff.
History repeats itself over and over. Hopefully the first ones they take out after the cultural revolution will be the useful idiots who did their bidding. I'd get a chuckle hearing a bunch of soy boys and Karens protesting "but we're down with the cause!"
Good point. It’s a combination of both evil intent and absurd incompetence.
Perfectly explains whats wrong with the left. Theyll claim everyone is privileged but they only know whats around them nothing outside

The "residents" just boo'd the lefty capris-wearing beta male mayor off stage for saying they could not totally defund the police. What a shitshow.

How could they treat him like that?? Didn't they see how much he cried the other day at the funeral??
The majority of Kentucky is backwards and very slow to move forward on much of anything. That can be a negative for conveniences and a wide array of opportunities. But once in a blue moon times like this roll along and the bluegrass is just short of Shangri La.
Arm yourself, fellow citizens. If you think this shit stops in Minnesota you are badly mistaken.
Jeremiah Ellison is the radical far left son of radical far left Keith Ellison (Minn. Attorney General and former DNC leader).
As Antifa was destroying Minneapolis in the riots, Jeremiah tweeted:
This is the type of scum running Minneapolis.
Anyone that murmurs a whisper of support .or even understanding for this stupid ass suggestion has very little functioning brain cells. Minneapolis was always a shithole .. now its beyond that .

This is an outstanding post..... I've read the Gulag Archipelago twice and very highly recommend it. In fact, maybe I need to re-read it.
I think personally think they should maybe start with "Police Academy 4- Citizens on Patrol" where cops have to take on civilian partners before committing to this step. Yes, the idea in a shitty movie in a series of shitty movies is a better idea than what the Minneapolis City Council has decided.
My semi-rural county did have a small protest, I bet the three dollar generals were sweating bullets.
Minneapolis pd solving half of murders and 1 in 5 rapes. That means unsolved murders can only double and rapes only increase 1/5.
Umm, lol, so what about the new ones that happen due to lack of policing?
For the last few weeks, I've been planning a trip to South Dakota. Drive across the country and see other places along the way.
One of the caveats has been looking into the local requirements related to covid (mask/no-mask, seating capacity, etc.).
About a month ago, I decided that that I would spend 2 nights in Minneapolis or St. Paul on the way back. My main concern at the time was whether or not I would be able to take my family to the big mall, without having to wear a mask.
Things have really changed since that was my biggest concern.
Deep down, I think the area is beautiful, and I would still like to spend a night in St. Paul.
But, frankly, no way.
Too much mess, right now, and with the prospect of "no police" in Minneapolis, just doesn't even seem like a good place to even leave my car parked overnight.
Our cities are being destroyed.
The weather is beautiful in Washington, DC today. I took a walk around noon.
Almost zero activity. It wasn't surreal. It was depressing.
Almost no one out. No food trucks lining the street. No tourists. Mostly joggers, some construction workers, a few vagrants, and a couple of cops. If I wanted to walk into a restaurant and grab food, I would have to put on a mask (which I didn't have).
We have gone from a roaring economy to relative desolation in just 4 months.

In many areas yep. Georgia is running pretty nicely at this point, as are many states.
Georgia
Tennessee
Texas
There is a trend there.
Even with that, downtown Atlanta, Dallas, Houston, and Nashville have all seen riots.
Yep, our cities are going to have to make some choices. Getting rid of the police ain't it but we shall see.
