It's all over the news.

Is it for real or are they just going to reorganize it a bit and call it disbanded?  

Perhaps they've realized a lot of calls to police are basically because someone needs social work and they can just send some kind of social worker and realize a net savings because their training is targeted and specialized and they don't have to have training and equipment not relevant to social work?

    As I said in another post, go for it disband and defund police all across the nation when they call for help tell them to call the BLM over or the mayor
    Why don't we go to school and work on the weekends and take the week off!

    Cut the head off and reorganize the body would be my guess.

    Politics. Let us know how this works out for you, Minneapolis.
    Maybe they can give the money they save to the criminals so they won’t commit any crimes.

    So...would that mean "we" could just start shooting protesters on sight without worry of arrest or prosecution?
    I may be a bit crazy - but I didn't drive myself.

    No.

    This has not been moved to the Politics Forum yet.

    Give it time.

    Your wish is my command... :)
    Best.

    This could work for me. Without the fear of losing everything after being arrested, I could easily defend myself and others.  Worked in the Philippines. 

    I could save  on range fees too.

    Minneapolis is forward thinking. They are just prepping for reparations. We give the blacks a settlement, Minneapolis,  and they are happy.  Round em all up and fence them in.  The native Americans got reservations and they were wronged far worse than any black. 

    Give em Chicago, Detroit and LA too. Not Long Beach or the shipping ports.

    This is why we need to build the wall.  Too many poor people can create a critical mass of voters which give themselves favors which turn out to be bad for the country.  They don't like the answers about why restraint is necessary.

    Look at Mexico.  Millions are fleeing because there's no money to make capital investment in job creation because everybody wanted a top notch education for their family and other social services.   You may say they are sparser than you think but that means so is the capital for job creation.

    Police Definition: The police are a constituted body of persons empowered by a state, with the aim to enforce the law, to ensure the safety, health and possessions of citizens, and to prevent crime and civil disorder. Their lawful powers include arrest and the use of force legitimized by the state via the monopoly of violence.
    Leftist Alternative: A body of persons empowered by the socialist/communist apparatus, with the aim to enforce the decrees of the apparatus via the monopoly of violence.


    Yep, letting the insane run the asylum.
