[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Minneapolis City Council members look to disband the police department (Page 1 of 6)

Posted: 6/4/2020 5:45:18 PM EST

Ten days after the police killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis, Minnesota, several members of the Minneapolis City Council are seeking to get rid of the police department — permanently.

Ward 3 Councilmember Steve Fletcher announced the effort on social media, saying that he and other councilmembers are looking to "disband" the Minneapolis Police Department, calling it "ungovernable" and "irredeemably beyond reform." Without any historical precedent, there's no easy path forward.

"Several of us on the council are working on finding out what it would take to disband the MPD and start fresh with a community-oriented, non-violent public safety and outreach capacity," Fletcher tweeted.

This sounds like a great idea. Let's watch the experiment.

Sorry to the 1000's of honest, law abiding folks in Minneapolis. You are now our guinea pigs.

If numbers and forensics get scarce enough, law-abiding citizens defending themselves may become possible again.

I’d watch that experiment. We need a hero live streamer on the streets.

Posted: 6/4/2020 5:51:22 PM EST

I think they should do it.

But for the record, I don't live there and plan to never go there.

Honestly, I dont disagree with their evaluation. Their policies of diversity and covering bad cops up have failed.

So, they will Police themselves??? HaHa.jpg

I doubt the following will happen...but it be nice if this was the start of the populace relying on themselves instead of government and being responsible for their own safety.

These things ways end up rubber banding back to even more government.

Smoke and mirrors. Just a dumbass posturing to get re-elected.

They should do it. I'd buy a ticket.

All part of the plan

Oh PLEASE DO IT.

All female street patrol. They get no guns, no tasers, and no batons.

The Special Response Team is all male, all armed, all armored like prisoner extraction teams. They spend their day at the station, lifting weights, doing steroids, and watching Michael Bay movies until they get the call.

The street patrol ladies get a medi-alert type button to call the SRT when needed.

It'd be entertaining at least.

If you gave me a very nice house completely free in a big city on the condition that I must live in it, I'd turn you down.

Not surprising from the state that elected Jessie Ventura.

You left out "form a politically-motivated force charged with enforcing laws but not called police".

I don’t see this as a joke, I think this may be the end game.

Disband the police forces, but then the leftists in control rebuild them in their own image under whatever guise they choose. End result is a hardcore leftist force to do their bidding.

They should do a little test run.

Give the entire police department a month off with pay and see works.

I’m sure it would end well.

I think they should do it. A 10 year program with non-armed police (think London Bobbies) that are required to live in the community they are assigned to. At the end of then years evaluate the program on crime reduction control vs customer satisfaction.
