Members of the Minneapolis City Council  pledged to “dismantle” the city’s police department in the wake of worldwide protests over the killing of George Floyd.

Council President Lisa Bender joined several other members in promises to drastically change how public safety is upheld in the city.

“We are going to dismantle the Minneapolis Police Department and replace it with a transformative new model of public safety,” Bender tweeted.

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.

Maybe change the name to Utopia well they are at it.

I wish them luck.  I can't wait to see how this turns out though.

Do the words "baby" and "bathwater" sound familiar to anyone?

So when VIOLENT criminals are killing innocent people you're going to send Social Workers out to talk to them.  These Utopianists are effing NUTS!

If I were a Minneapolis police officer I would do one of two things. Either quit and leave them with what they are wishing for or have a large blue flu event over several days.

I'm old enough to remember the phrase: "If you don't like the police, the next time you need help call a hippie."

My Grandfather was Philly cop, actually a Detective for over forty years.  I knew better than to give Philly cops or any cops for that matter a hard time when I was young.

Two St. Paul council members say they support abolishing the police.

My wife said maybe it is time to move to a new state.  I am thinking maybe country the way we are going here.
