True, they get what they elected. However this is a new “thing”. May not go over to well in the long run.
I’m sure random people off the street will do better. Of course, you could train them for months…but then they would be cops.
who said these people would be random? For the record, I am not for defunding the police but your arguments are not holding water
They won’t be armed. They will carry magic fairy dust that makes everybody happy and peaceful. 
If they take people, check their backgrounds, give them lengthy training, educate them in proper procedures then…they have a new set of police. What has that accomplished except cost a lot of money?
If they can get better people then why didn’t they do it when they called them “the police”?
Now when this all crashes in on them they cannot be allowed to be bailed out at the expense of the Federal Government (unless, of course, you have Biden and a Democrat Senate, in which case that is exactly what will happen).
One police officer asphyxiated George Floyd.
Why do very few people have anything negative to say about the union that may help Derek Chauvin & three other officers at the scene get their jobs back?
Maybe unions are part of the problem when it comes to retention of rogue officers.
I have only negative things to say about the police unions. They are absolutely a part of the core problem with police culture.
Republicans will happily stand up to a teacher union revolt. But both parties are (rightly) afraid to even glance towards the police unions. They fight dirty.
What if it works…
It just might.
When I see that evidence rooms across the country are filled with thousands of untested rape kids, and other forensic evidence just sitting there wasting away when it could put criminals away, it says to me we need less of a focus of beat cops and more on processing the actual evidence and actually trying to conclude most cases.
Do I need a beat cop to come stare at my broken shop window for 30 minutes before he calls the Crime scene unit to come take prints to just be left on a shelf somewhere until a year later i get an email saying “case closed”? I don’t think I do.

Is this the new word for murdered?
When, 15 years from now when they’re released from prison?
Unions have been and always will be part of the problem.
“Is this the new word for murdered?” No.
Oh, ok. So murdered it is…
I’m not one of those few. I laid it at their feet from the start. They are accomplices.

A think Minneapolis should go ahead and disband the police, I can’t see a better way to bring another state into the red category by passing something that will drive even the most fervent liberal suburban white female to the republican side.
Well they tried CHOP here in Seattle and that should make any city pause before implementing anything that stupid. Two more people were shot last night one dead, in terms of the three block area they have and population it the most dangerous three blocks in the U.S. on the odds of getting shot.
They’ll make fine targets for the violent protesters, looters, and rest of the "criminal class’.
NYC homicides are up 47% and shootings up over 170% year over year.
Their police force hasn’t even quit yet.
Unfortunately, they are not going to do a thing until after the election.
Yep. Democrats ruin every thing they touch.
