the-police-department/
Members of the Minneapolis City Council on Sunday announced plans to
disband their embattled police department in the wake of worldwide
protests over the killing of George Floyd at the hands of cops.
The nine councilmembers, who form a veto-proof majority, committed to de-
funding the department and moving toward a community-based public safety
model during a rally at the city’s Powderhorn Park, local reports said.
“It is clear that our system of policing is not keeping our communities
safe,” said council president Lisa Bender, according to Fox9. “Our efforts
at incremental reform have failed, period.”
“It’s our commitment to end policing as we know it, and recreate systems
of public safety that actually keep us safe.”
In a statement, the council said it would be “taking intermediate steps
toward ending the MPD through the budget process and other budget and
policy decisions over the coming weeks and months.”
The 12-member body reportedly plans to begin voting on legislation
targeting the department on Friday.
Over the weekend, Bender and several of her colleagues expressed their
intent to drastically change how public safety is upheld in the city.
Bender told the Minneapolis Star Tribune that she envisions replacing a
traditional police department with a broader, more holistic public safety
department geared toward violence prevention and community services.
Social workers or medics could respond to situations once handled by
police, she said.
Councilmember Steve Fletcher outlined the concept in an article published
in Time on Friday, arguing that incremental reforms to policing have not
worked.
Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey doesn’t appear to agree with plans to de-fund
the police department. He was booed out of a demonstration by protesters
on Saturday after saying he wouldn’t commit to abolishing the cops.

Donald J. Trump, 304 electoral votes to 227, defeated compulsive liar in
denial Hillary Rodham Clinton on December 19th, 2016. The clown car
parade of the democrat party ran out of gas and got run over by a Trump
truck.
Congratulations President Trump. Thank you for cleaning up the disaster
of the Obama presidency.
Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the
The World According To Garp. Obama sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood
queer liberal democrat donors.
President Trump has boosted the economy, reduced illegal immigration,
appointed dozens of judges and created jobs.
Senile loser and NAMBLA supporter Nancy Pelosi got "Trumped" on February
5, 2020. "President Trump, Not Guilty."
