Minneapolis council pledges to dismantle police

Mr Floyd's funeral is scheduled for Tuesday in Houston, his home city before he moved to Minneapolis. The protests started after video emerged showing the 46-year-old African American pinned to the floor, with a white police officer kneeling on his neck for almost nine minutes.

"We are here because here in Minneapolis and in cities across the United States it is clear that our existing system of policing and public safety is not keeping our communities safe," City Council President Lisa Bender was quoted as saying.Ms Bender said details of the overhaul plan needed to be discussed further, adding that she would try to shift police funding towards community based strategies.

Bad idea

That will be a great place to live.

Live from Minneapolis:

Why not have an option to pay tax towards the police, if some don’t want to pay have them sign a waiver they will never call the police for assistance.

Hope there's loads of break ins. Attacks. No police to call.

Dumbest shit ive ever heard. Corrupt democrats are instigating civil unrest as a weapon against trump. Thats seditious conspiracy and treason.

We're all the same! Black and white! We bleed in the same way. That displeases God. Unfortunately, man is irrational when he wants to.

Unless Democrats win elections......

The council are total virtue signalling idiots. Anarchy is coming their way and then they'll be pleading for the National Guard.

I live in a suburb about 15 minutes south of the riots in Minneapolis. Why is it that the UK is protesting and rioting? Its becoming clear that the UK has just as many idiots as the US. More importantly, have any of you people heard of Tony Timpa?

BBC Black humor.

Good job they have Batman

Trump just won re election 🤣🇺🇸🙋‍♀️

This is the beginning of the disintegration of the American empire. Sadly, it is breaking from within. It’s biggest attraction and attribute, freedom and democracy, happened to be its greatest weakness. It’s enemies found these attributes to be the perfect way to destroy it

whos brain farted and came up with that idea?

Criminals are happy. First city on the world without Police. American liberals ridicule the US.

The defund the police is a Russian slogan to sabotage Biden. Do not amplify this. We want major reforms.

it’s going to be a wild wild west in the states...

Insanity, police department need reform not dismantle and be accountable for it's mistake.

does this mean no POLICE!! good, let these people take care of their own black criminals

Good!

Another step forward. Progressive. Progression to anarchy

I genuinely hope it works. I genuinely hope I am wrong and this doesn’t lead to more crime, death and poverty.

A 'new model of public safety'. Hopefully the new one can quell riots and stop looters, because the old one certainly couldn't.

The rest of us can safely watch in all the other cities.

The US Police are EXCELLENT.

Fuck heads

That's not going to end well..

Wow I didn't know this was even possible

Global coronavirus death toll passes 400,000..

Minneapolis mayor booed by angry demonstrators after he refuses to defund city policeThe mayor of Minneapolis was booed by demonstrators over his refusal to disband the city’s police force as protests over the killing of George Floyd swept across the US Appeasing the mob only ever encourages the mob. Apologizing for something you are not personally guilty of only ever makes your position worse. Never apologize, never appease. White people are being played like a violin by these cultural Marxist and black racist loons. The Black Lives Matters movement demands total subservience to its Marxist ideology. Being libereral is only the first condition. Unforgiving, anti-nuclear family, pro-trans, anti police, anti-capitalist are requisites. And being Jewish was a huge strike against the mayor. they told wet their pants when the big boy hangs came out to play.
