Veto-proof majority of Minneapolis City Council vows to disband police department

A vote for the Democrats in November is a vote for this insanity to spread nationally. America is quite literally on the line this November.

Veto-proof majority of Minneapolis City Council vows to disband police department

By Axios, June 7, 2020

Nine members of the Minneapolis City Council — a veto-proof majority on the panel of 13 — signed a pledge at a rally on Sunday to begin the process of dismantling the Minneapolis Police Department as it currently exists, The Appeal first reported.

Why it matters: The move to replace the police department with a community-based public safety model answers the calls of activists who have been pushing for a massive overhaul of law enforcement in Minneapolis after the killing of George Floyd.

  • Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey was berated and told to “go home” at a protest on Saturday after refusing to commit to defunding the police department.
  • Council members said on Sunday that they had not yet fleshed out specific plans for what the new public safety system will look like, but said they would commit to working with the community and draw on past studies and policing reforms around the world for guidance, the New York Times reports.

What they’re saying:

“We’re here because we hear you. We are here today because George Floyd was killed by the Minneapolis Police. We are here because here in Minneapolis and in cities across the United States it is clear that our existing system of policing and public safety is not keeping our communities safe. Our efforts at incremental reform have failed. Period.”

— Minneapolis City Council President Lisa Bender

Was amazed that the Dem City Council brought the IDF to Minneapolis in 2012 to train 100 cops in IDF restraint methods. This training is the source of the knee on the neck method. I would think minor criminals would be treated one way, uniformed captured soldiers another and jihadi terrorists yet another. Chauvin used terrorist technique on a minor crime suspect. Now more cops will quit, and many businesses will leave the city and the state. Many people will move out. It will happen a few at a time spread over many months.

Minneapolis Mayor Opposes City Council’s Pledge to Disband Police Force
https://www.theepochtimes.com/minneapolis-mayor-rejects-city-councils-call-to-disband-police-force_3380221.html
June 7, 2020
“Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey said that he didn’t approve of the pledge by some city council members for disbanding the city’s police department on Sunday, a move that comes just as the state has launched a civil rights investigation after George Floyd’s death.

“I’ll work relentlessly with Chief [Medaria] Arradondo and alongside community toward deep, structural reform and addressing systemic racism in police culture,” Frey said. “We’re ready to dig in and enact more community-led, public safety strategies on behalf of our city. But, I do not support abolishing the Minneapolis Police Department,” Fox News reported.”

There is no systemic racism. Obama brought the phrase into the public square and people have been using it ever since. Records show that police are just as apt to shoot white people as they are to shoot black people. There is a reason more black people are in jail than white people and it has nothing to do with racism. As Ms. McDonald points outs the truth does not matter to BLM. https://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=prageru+heather+mcdonald+police+brutality&docid=607988844261541888&mid=CB97F83F500BE1103893CB97F83F500BE1103893&view=detail&FORM=VIRE

Hey Beverly, yes, Barr summarized things yesterday:
“Barr: ‘I Don’t Think That the Law Enforcement System Is Systemically Racist’”
https://www.theepochtimes.com/barr-i-dont-think-that-the-law-enforcement-system-is-systemically-racist_3379820.html
June 7, 2020: “I think there’s racism in the United States still but I don’t think that the law enforcement system is systemically racist. I understand … the distrust, however, of the African-American community given the history in this country,” Barr said during an interview on CBS’s Face the Nation.

This is better than a Muslim chant to the ears of MUSLIM Attorney General Keith Ellison of Minnesota. Minnesota is in big trouble.. He is a BLM and an ANTIFA supporter as well as Islam and of course snuggles up to communists too. Eventually Muslims and communists will clash because communism makes no allowance for religion. Look how China handles Muslims.

I don’t know if states have the RIGHT to do this…. Is there a limit when it comes to states rights and this insanity? My guess is he will try to implement Sharia Law and racist laws against nonbelievers in Islam and white people. These liberal white women will not be pleased if this goes forward.

Agreed. Ellison was well-schooled at the feet of Obhammud, who by shooting off his mouth and making irresponsible remarks, started the “war on cops”.

Remember his saying the Hartford cops “acted stupidly” and the resultant “beer summit”? Or the Trayvon Martin incident? Ferguson?

Yes, let all the police in town take a month’s paid vacation and see how the city gets along without them. I predict two things: first, in the absence of police the Antifa/BLM thugs will continue to run wild, smashing and looting and burning; second, the people will feel obliged to protect themselves, their businesses and their homes by themselves — in short, they’ll revive the “militia”. With the police gone, there will be nobody to *enforce gun-control laws* — and the armed citizens will be far less restrained about shooting rioters than the cops are.

What makes you believe that the Sheriff’s department will not be terminated, too?

With the police removed, guns will be banned. Who knows, gangs of “upright” civilians coming to your home, entering uninvited, and search for weapons. I’m also certain that the criminal element won’t voluntarily turn their guns over to whomever will be collecting firearms, which will not be the police.

Drug huckster sponsored satellite yelling

of its relentless crass turban selling
where the mob rules but the meek soul is jailed.
While one may stand strong against the fake news,
the blind rage of many shall get attention.
Serenading Islamophillic views
through their brute force seek mental retention.
What shall they recall? Shall they think on facts
that would persuade to prude moderation?
It’s not likely at all, when all their acts
reveal their lust for lewd education
of hate. They stone now obelisks of Hell
not thinking they may be stoning themselves.

GUESS WHAT FOLKS? THIS TYPE OF MODEL OF POLICING HAS HAPPENED BEFORE-IN RUSSIA WHILE THE BOLSHEVIK-COMMUNISTS WERE TAKING OVER THEY HAD SOVIETS OR UNIONS THAT HAD DEPTS OF PUBLIC ORDER RESPONSIBLE TO THE COMMUNIST PARTY LIKE BLACK LIVES MATTER MIRRORS! THAT IS THE KIND OF LAW ENFORCEMENT THEY WANT TO BRING TO NYC! INDIRECTLY, THEY ARE SEEKING TO TAKE OUT PAMELA GELLER AND HER ACTIVIST GROUP THERE AS I BELIEVE THEY ARE ON BLM’S HIT LIST WHICH HAPPENS TO BE THE HIT LIST OF THE democ-RAT PARTY OF NY!
AS I’VE TOLD YOU ALL IN MY TRIPS DOWN HISTORY LANE, IT DIDN’T HAVE TO BE THIS WAY! THERE WAS A TIME WHEN THE REPUBLICANS UNDER SEN. ROSCOE CONKLING HAD A REAL MACHINE HEADQUARTED OUT OF THE NYC CUSTOMS COMPLEX THAT COULD TAKE ON TAMMANY HALL’S democ-RATS! iF 1880, HAD HAPPENED THE WAY, SEN CONKLING HAD WANTED IT TO, REPUBLICANS OUT OF NY WOULD HAVE RUN THE REPUBLICAN PARTY FOR AT LEAST A GENERATION AND PRES. TRUMP COULD SERVE A THIRD TERM AS 8 YEARS REALLY ISN’T LONG ENOUGH TO UNDO 8 YEARS OF OBAMANATION AS THE democ-RATS ARE SO ENTRENCHED IN ALL AREAS OF CRITICAL GOVERNANCE, THEY NEARLY IMPEACHED A PRESIDENT!
NOW THE DEMS HAVE HELP FROM MAOIST CHINA WHICH ISN’T HAPPY WITH PRES. TRUMP EITHER BUT ALL THE STRATEGIC INDUSTRIES HAVE ALREADY BEEN OUTSOURCED THERE SO THEY CAN REALLY MAKE US CARE! COVID 19 ISN’T A NATURAL VIRUS BUT I’M CONVINCED A MUTATED VERSION OF SOMETHING THAT WAS DEVELOPED IN A LAB IN MAOIST CHINA!

The idea is to rebuild a police department they think is not working in “their” best interests. If I were a cop there, I would resign. I would tell them to go it alone if they don’t want professionals.
I would make sure the business leaders of that State realize their protection will be no more. Homeowners will have to defend themselves without calling 911, because, that’s offensive, isn’t it?
And who needs a mayor who the “people” don’t like? This, I don’t understand, because they did elect him.

Most Americans protest in a voting booth. That is the American way. We do not support thugs who resist arrest, and we don’t celebrate their lives. They were criminals who happened to also be black, and their skin color does not need special consideration.
