City council members declare intent to ‘abolish’ embattled agency and replace with alternative model in wake of George Floyd’s killing

that have taken over American cities in the last two weeks, and is a major victory for abolitionist activists who have long fought to disband police and prisons.

I say let them disband the police. And when that entire city resembles Los Angeles from the Terminator movies we’ll all get listen to how that is still the fault of white people

What about other people's life, the Indian shops, Chinese restaurants being looted by blacks... The trend for today is: black people are special, they need to get preferential treatment, regardless what they do, so we can be politically right. For other minorities, we don’t care

Good luck to Minneapolis you are going to need it.

'Community-led safety', does anybody else hear the oxymoron there?

paulmac708 You know we live in a messed up timeline when Criminals are revered, Police are threatened.

It was a lost cause for me from day one because they are anti-police and anti- law and order. The black lives matter movement is an embarrassing movement for me as a black person. Rubbish!

If anybody thinks this is completely unprecedented, look at the Georgia Police Force in the Soviet Union. It was so corrupt they fired everyone and started again from scratch. Moved from 124/133 in the corruption index to 48th.

Very good. I hope Minneapolis makes a call for volunteers to step forward to train for service in whatever new organisation they create. They need to significantly change the culture and make it more connected to the communities it serves. You know, like a community 🙂

So in theory, under this new arrangement, what would happen to Floyd after he is reported as a bandit who put a gun on a pregnant woman to rob her? Would he still be arrested and jailed just the same by the new commissars, or what?

How about directly build a Utopia? even the lowest crime rate countries still need police. it's not just a symbol to fight crime and protect the community, far-left is as toxic as far-right. some Demoncrat action is ridiculous. Minneapolis

Hope it's approved so the antifa and far-left can have their own paradise and left us alone in peace.

This city was trash before and will be even more of a dumpster now

Correction 'Minneapolis lawmakers vow to disband a racist terror organization in historic move'

Will they be applying the Somalian system with warlords?

Now Blacks can give 'Stitches to Snitches' without thinking twice... Rofl

So if 'ending'/'defunding' the police would help solving the issue of systemic racism, what's next? Defund fire departments to eradicate fires? Close hospitals to end all illnesses? Cut development aid to solve poverty in developing countries? ThisMakesNoSense

Without police note this America will be turned into a crime nation. When you view ugly side also view the good side.

George Floyd's last victim called the Minneapolis police. Floyd put a gun to her pregnant stomach whilst his accomplice raided her apartment for cash and drugs, neither of which she had.

Does that actual mean they won’t have police? I don’t get it

Good luck on any of these clowns being elected again when the City is burning every night. It'll be like Gotham, except with cookies for criminals so their feelings don't get hurt

112,054 DEAD AMERICANS FROM THE RED HAT CULT tRUMP VIRUS !

Can’t wait for them to see what’s coming next to Minneapolis when the police leave.

While not everything requires calling the police and other responders may also do a good job, I wonder about their concept for dealing with real criminals. Seems knee-jerk and shortsighted.

That should fix everything. Yeah.

What?

America Wake up !

I was always told to be careful of what you ask for because you may get it No justice No peace Disband the police and you will get just that. No Justice and No Peace.

Whilst the media rushes to prove it's antiracist credentials. World Covid19 deaths (six months) 400000 from 7-20 million cases Malaria deaths in 2018 (12months) 405000 from 218 million cases. Simple choice, open economy and allow 4-6M deaths or reimpose/revise social distancing

Criminals will love that!

Wow. Wish it would happen here in Everett, Washington. Oh, wait. Their union is way way too strong won’t ever happen.

The guardian is a proxy of communist Europe/USA who pays them to blurt the cr*p they do!

To replace it with another police force under a different name that's almost the same.

Not ever going to happen

Правильно! All Right!!! Нахер полицию!!! Нахер порядок и закон!!! Мигранты и нелегалы! приехали не строить Америку! Они строят свою АФРИКУ!)))

What does this even mean? Freedom to commit crime!

My prediction: in the resulting vacuum there will be a powerstruggle between BLM and Antifa. In the end Antifa takes the cake. savethistweet

What will enforcement look like? Armed neighborhood watch agencies for all communities?

Right on track for corporate death squads to get this cyberpunk dystopia bumping

Make a titanium wall around anything of worth.crazy

Disband means firing everybody & rebuilding Reforming was a bandaid

This is a Coward move and the worst time to dismantle a peace keeping institute in a free country tbh... Is the army going to be the transitory tool? Or a permanent one?

Most stupid move in history.

janejane24 you better make a strong fence around a city without Law Enforcement.

Reaction meet knee-jerk

Oh god please do it. I'd love to watch this liberal cesspool implode on itself.

They won't be able to change the city charter without the people of the city voting on it.

Funds are stolen too, can't trace back anything

LOL - Gets the 🍿

Antiviral drug Remdesivir sped recovery in moderately ill patients with pneumonia from coronavirus It's more evidence that the drug can help patients....

Disband the police? Perfect slogan to get Trump re-elected. Keep going!

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.
