A veto-proof majority of Minneapolis City Council members announced during a rally at Powderhorn Sunday that they are planning to disband the police department.

City Council members said they will invest in community-led safety initiatives instead of the police department.
"Our commitment is to end our city’s toxic relationship with the Minneapolis Police Department, to end policing as we know it, and to re-create systems of public safety that actually keep us safe," Minneapolis City Council President Lisa Bender said at Sunday’s community meeting.
The council members who took part in the announcement are Cam Gordon, Steve Fletcher, Phillipe Cunningham, Jeremiah Ellison, Andrea Jenkins, Alondra Cano, Lisa Bender and Jeremy Schroeder.
The announcement comes after various entities such as the University of Minnesota, Minneapolis Public Schools, First Avenue, and others decided to end or limit their relationship with the police department.


Dummies of the Minneapolis city council are pandering to the Rioters/looters and their "non-violence. Let them go ahead and disband all police services. It opens the door for "community comunication" - and the DPST's have anti-fa to take that role.

With no law enforcement - the rioters will run rampant - and anyone with a business or property, or a home - will need to arm themselves to defend themselves again untrammelled lawlessness.

a shame - minneapolis is a beautiful city - with first class health care and university of Minnesota. . After they transform the city into a smoldering ruin, people may look back at the pandering leaders who made those decisions!
If they have a city where elections can be held. That point will be debateable.


I do hope that DeBlasio and garcetti - along with wheeler in Portland and the mayors of SanFrancisco and Seattle - and chicago - follow suit immediately!!!
mob rule!!!

Stupid knee jerk reaction just to satisfy the pc culture! Sounds like they just need new leadership in their city council and mayor

Dey gon' learn themself the hard Way!

fleeing from mogadishu, with great fright and alarm, so much so she married her own brother to get her family out, shouldn't omar, of all people, know the problems of having a vacuum filled by warlords and strongmen fighting each other across the rubble?

Has anyone polled MS-13 and the other various criminal enterprises to ascertain their views on this defunding police movement.

We all know when the police are disbanded the gangs will take over.

We don't even need the police to be disbanded. Politicians and judges can tie their hands so they can't enforce the law.

The reality is this is political posturing and a month from now those espousing "defund the police" will back off and boast "we needed to have this conversation."

... if not centuries.

The other reality is ... the only ones engaged in the "conversation" are those who already have their private protection.

My hoping the garbage collection folks will accept body bags along with the hedge trimmings.

Hopefully, there won't be a surcharge.
