Minneapolis City Council Looks To Dismantle Police Department

See, when they told us that they wanted to defund the police, they really didn’t mean they wanted to actually to defund the police, just to reduce their budgets by large amounts, right? No more precincts in black communities, right?

Minneapolis City Council announces veto-proof push to disband police in George Floyd aftermath

Minneapolis’ left-leaning City Council members on Sunday announced a veto-proof push to disband the Minneapolis police department, ramping up a major conflict inside the city following the death of George Floyd while in police custody.

Many activists have been pushing at least for their cities to defund local police departments, a move many other analysts considered unrealistic. The measure has been the main focus for many people protesting against police brutality.

Supporters of the move told Fox News, “We recognize that we don’t have all the answers about what a police-free future looks like, but our community does. We’re committing to engaging with every willing community member in the city of Minneapolis over the next year to identify what safety looks like for you.”

The city council members spoke at a protest at Powderhorn Park, a neighborhood in Minneapolis. The number of supporters in attendance represented a veto-proof majority to push the measure through, Fox 9 reported.

See, not defund, dismantle. They have absolutely no plan as to what happens without a police department, what replaces it, who deals with crime, anything, but, they’re charging full ahead. It’d be funny as hell if every officer up and quit, went to work elsewhere. Let’s see how much city council members like calling 911 and having a social worker come by to give them a hug and a lecture on their privilege.

Meanwhile, the major of Minneapolis, and utter simp, is against the plan

Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey on Sunday reiterated that he doesn’t support abolishing the city’s police force, hours after a veto-proof majority of members of the Minneapolis City Council said they want to take that drastic step in the wake of the in-custody death of George Floyd.

Frey, who ordered a police station to evacuate as rioters burned it to the ground last month, was shouted down by a large gathering of demonstrators near his home on Saturday when he defied their demands to shutter the city’s police forces entirely.

“I’ll work relentlessly with Chief [Medaria] Arradondo and alongside community toward deep, structural reform and addressing systemic racism in police culture,” Frey said in a statement to KARE. “We’re ready to dig in and enact more community-led, public safety strategies on behalf of our city. But, I do not support abolishing the Minneapolis Police Department.”

Frey is about to learn all about the SJW virtue signaling cancel culture mob made up of Democratic Party voters who will come after him. If everything holds to form, they will be calling for his head, wanting to have a recall vote if he won’t resign, wanting their pound of flesh. Good luck mayor! You’re about to get an abject lesson in leftist politics.
