Minneapolis Plan To Defund The Police Collapses, City Council Members ‘Regret’ Making Pledge

[Billiejeens]

Minneapolis, Minnesota’s plan to defund and then disband their local police force has “collapsed” according to a New York Times report from over the weekend. Some of the Minneapolis City Council members who pledged to abolish the city’s law enforcement — including the City Council president — now say they regret making that promise.

The Times headline blares that the “pledge to dismantle the police department has collapsed,” and notes that “a majority of City Council members promised to ‘end policing as we know it'” after George Floyd died while in the custody of the Minneapolis police department. Instead, though “they became a case study in how idealistic calls for structural change can falter.”

At the time, Bender even challenged her fellow councilmembers to stick with the plan to dismantle the MPD, lest they be complicit in “white supremacy.”

“If you are a comfortable white person asking to dismantle the police I invite you to reflect: are you willing to stick with it? Will you be calling in three months to ask about garage break-ins? Are you willing to dismantle white supremacy in all systems, including a new system?” she mused.

She got the timeline nearly right — for herself. Bender is now among those who say abolishing the police is not the right approach.

Howsabout anyone who isn't a libnut Dimwinger.

 

[ColonelAngus]

How many lives and millions of dollars of damage have these absolute dickheads caused?

Liberals are such pieces of shit.

Liberals are such pieces of shit.

Where is Omar and her talk of REIMAGINING law enforcement? Stupid bitch.

The voters are about to sweep out the lib garbage... and they see the writing on the wall...

 

[ColonelAngus]

Havent all reasonably minded people been saying this was a really fucking stupid idea for MONTHS?

These assholes had to wait for crime to spike and the community to freak out before they changed their minds?

If the voters do not vote out every single one of these asshole commissioners, they are worse than the commissioners themselves.

Another clear example of how Leftist Policies ALWAYS Lead to Death and Destruction!

Leftism is not only wrong for America ..... it is wrong for Mankind.

Liberal policies have turned California into California and Portland into Portland.

In fact, if you did the OPPOSITE of EVERY liberal policy, your municipality will be perfect.

Look at how these liberal jerkoffs were supporting defunding the police earlier this summer.

A Practical Guide to Defunding the Police

"Defund the Police" is a core demand of many protesters demanding justice for George Floyd. Here's what that would mean in practice.

Let them defund the police I hope every officer in those cities moves on. Trained officers are always in demand.

Let the council members answer the calls or send a social worker. Hope they all have fun.

These are supposed to be the smart ones and conservatives the dumb ones. Hahaha.

Hallmark of leftists: they insist on something that everyone down to kindergartners can see is a bad idea, then months or years later they come to the same conclusion about it that everyone else had at the outset and demand that they be hailed as "brilliant, original" thinkers for noticing the painfully obvious.

Did any of the US messageboard resident liberals have the balls to call out this movement to defund police as fucking stupid? I dont recall.
