What you © are going to get from this is nothing more than scorn and furthering the distrust from the general population. 
Looks like we are getting police reform. 
Too bad Prince isn’t alive to see it.
I ll be honest. For the first time in my 60 years of life I’m really worried about the future if this country. The direction we are heading right now is scary, ridiculous scary.
This defund/disband/remake/reimagine the police thing…I do not support defunding police, I certainly don’t support disbanding police. Reimagine the police, what the hell does that even mean.
The police are not the problem in America. They are usually the solution.
In a recent Op Ed Heather Macdonald writes…" “However sickening the video of Floyd’s arrest, it isn’t representative of the 375 million annual contacts that police officers have with civilians,” she wrote in a Tuesday Op-Ed for The Wall Street Journal.

“A solid body of evidence finds no structural bias in the criminal-justice system with regard to arrests, prosecution or sentencing. Crime and suspect behavior, not race, determine most police actions.”…For starters, she looks at the number of people fatally shot by police officers. In 2019, that was 1,004. Most of these people “were armed or otherwise dangerous,” Mac Donald said."
Later in the same piece…"“The police fatally shot nine unarmed blacks and 19 unarmed whites in 2019, according to a Washington Post database, down from 38 and 32, respectively, in 2015. The Post defines ‘unarmed’ broadly to include such cases as a suspect in Newark, N.J., who had a loaded handgun in his car during a police chase,” Mac Donald wrote. “In 2018 there were 7,407 black homicide victims. Assuming a comparable number of victims last year, those nine unarmed black victims of police shootings represent 0.1% of all African-Americans killed in 2019. By contrast, a police officer is 18½ times more likely to be killed by a black male than an unarmed black male is to be killed by a police officer.” https://www.westernjournal.com/stats-systemic-police-racism-myth/
We are led to believe that police are corrupt, the message being delivered in the wake of George Floyd contains a strong suggestion that police officers are out there searching for the next African American they can attack. I don’t believe it…
The thing that’s lacking…Data…Reality…
The thing we have too much of…Emotion…
As a conservative I believe the Democrats and their media allies have attempted to take full advantage of this situation…Perhaps making it worse…fanning the flames.
I plan to do some research…To study some data…to learn more about this issue. I’ve had the pleasure of knowing several police officers and a few county sheriffs who were and still are friends. None of them are that Chauvin guy in Minnesota. I remember watching the news of 9-11-01 and hearing the stories of officers of the law running toward the collapsing buildings, not away from them.
There are hundreds of thousands of Law Enforcement Officers who interact with the rest of us 300+ million times a year. So are the actions of four of those officers in the George Floyd case enough to dismantle our system?
The overwhelming majority of our police officers are good people just trying to live their lives and give back to their communities. I think it’s time we start giving them the benefit of the doubt instead of politicizing a bad situation and making it worse in the process.

Police are civilians.
In how many of those contacts are a citizen’s rights violated?
I don’t know. Do you?
I’m sure some…Officers make mistakes. I’m sure many more times the people with whom they officers are dealing claim some violation…Hell if I were pulled over for a speeding ticket in this climate I’d claim somebody was mean to me.
That’s why this has to be looked at without all the emotion.
I just listened to a sound bite from some woman in Minnesota. “George Floyd was killed by the Minneapolis Police Department”, she said. No he was not. He was killed by one dumbass officer. I’d bet 99% of the folks in that police department were as sickened as the rest of us were by the way he died…I don’t remember the rest of her exact words but it was something about not keeping the community safe so it had to be disbanded. I remember saying a word my mom wouldn’t have been proud of when I heard that.
The Minneapolis Police Department did not kill that man, and the flesh and blood men and women of that department deserve a little credit. I’ll bet they’ve done plenty from delivering babies to pulling people out of wrecked cars to coaching little league teams to volunteering for community functions. This one story should not and needs to stop drowning out the good those people have done.

LOL are you ■■■■■■■ kidding me?
Silly libs…
You do understand that private security will have to take over.
So a shop doesn’t want to pay up…that night his shop gets smashed. Then security shows up…are you going to pay up? If not they get smashed again.
Does that sound familiar?
Gang wars will be battling it out in who gets to control which streets etc.
Good old days…
Oh BTW…Biden agrees with Trump. Did you know that?
What a wonderful little Paradise! I’m sure the people selling the drugs and mishandling the guns will just role over for the crisis intervention counselors because they will be so well trained.
I think you might want to double check that info. 
They will be controlling the streets. residents and business will have to pay them not to smash or destroy your home and business.
anyone for tennis? nope, it’s protection rackets…
What do you expect? Minneapolis has a Democrat Mayor, a Democrat Council, a Democrat DA and a Democrat Chief of Police and is the largest city in a Democrat State. The City has been run by liberals for decades.

Are police just supposed to stand there and let people kill them?
Triple checked it. Now what? Still accurate.
On another note, seems that NYC just fired its police chief.
I am honestly a bit confused by your question. What are you asking?
