    Biden has come out against defunding thus contradicting BLM and the Liberals.

    Talk about the walk of shame lol.

    I think he knows there would be a mass exodus out of his city. Even Biden is against it.

    I'm assuming those who want to abolish police Depts must want Marshall law. What's the alternative? If they think the police are bad, they would be in for a rude awakening.

    What about your lovely Governor in MI.? is she for defunding police? There's a push here for it now.

    The only way this makes any sense is if by "disband" they really mean "reorganize". Otherwise, we would have anarchy. The liberal mayor of NYC has also come out against this kind of thing.

    Has Whitmer said anything? The House will block anything that would weaken our LEO's. If she thinks she had trouble in the Covid stuff, she hasn't seen a thing. This is NOT a liberal populace. We have a stunning number of concealed carry liscences to the tune of nearly 700,00 and growing by the day. This state goes one step toward defunding and the police know they have 700,00 freinds in the CPL/concealed carry folk. We wont mention the sportsmen and women.

    You are fortunate. I think Ca. probably has the strictest gun laws in the nation. It's almost no use.

    The BLM agenda should be re-badged to MLM, Make Lives Miserable. They are advocating for chaos.

    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...

    What they are doing is driving a stake into the heart of their own city. Once lawless abounds people will flee in multitudes and no one will want to visit their crap hole city either.
