Maybe. Let’s see what happens. I’m predicting it’s just typical liberal bluster. It’s easy to say you’re going to do something. A lot harder to do it.
And how many times has that actually happened?
TriggerWarning:
Minneapolis may not need to defund their department to get rid of it. It was already seriously understaffed leading to them being unable to respond at all to 6700 emergency calls for service last year. Current strength was roughly 800 officers. Already this month in June, there have been 14 officers who have quit and 46 who have filed for some sort of retirement.
I’m willing to bet there are similar numbers in every department that has suffered serious rioting. Departments already can’t find enough qualified applicants (clean record and ability to pass physical and psych test). Even fewer are going to apply now.
How long before America comes pleading for the cops to come back? Because we’ve seen on a small scale what happens when the police go away - the murder and violent crime rate in Baltimore went through the roof when the police stopped all pro-active policing. What happens when there aren’t even enough police to respond to your emergency calls. Ever seen the Road Warrior? That is our future.
Well, Keith Ellison’s son, who is a Minneapolis councilman is calling for the complete disestablishment of the MPD. I wonder he and dad hope to replace it with Sharia law squads?
Islamic religious police (also sometimes known as morality police or sharia police) are official Islamic vice squad police agencies, often in Islamic countries, which enforce religious observance and public morality on behalf of national or regional authorities based on its interpretation of sharia. Modern Islamic religious police forces were first established in the late-1970s amidst the Iranian Revolution and the Islamic revival the revolution brought; prior, the administration of public The p...
How many times have these peace officers interfered with arrests?
Are you asking me to look something up for you?
Almost as crazy as saying “defund public education”, right?

Black Lives Matter “Peace Officers.” This may be one of the most moronic ideas I’ve ever heard. As part of their “war on Police,” these armed Peace officers will patrol areas and respond when they believe an arrest is unjust or going bad. What imbecile came up with the idea to have armed citizens interfere with police duties? There is a name for people who point guns at cops. They’re called dead people.
Who said they would be armed?

Personally, my idea is to disarm 75% of america’s police.
There is absolutely no reason for most cops to be armed.
And take away the tanks and ■■■■■
When you dress them up like hammers, everyone looks like a nail to them.

I’m aware so it indicates that the reality is, maybe it’s mostly a “perp thing” and not a racist cop thing?
The victims were overwhelmingly male (95.5 percent), and less than 1 percent were unarmed at the time of the incident.

Who is saying that?
Literally Republicans.
Literally name five. Literally good luck!!!
Incorrect. It does for quite a few. Many in the movement want the po-leece shut down completely.
“Quite a few?” “Many?” What does that mean? Less than 1%? 99%? It’s fun to use undefined terms to try and make a point. Can we use “quite a few” and “many” to attribute fringe or controversial views to the entirety of other groups? How about Republicans or Trump supporters? Fair game?
