Minneapolis City Council alarmed by surge in crime months after voting to defund the police

[L.C.]

In July, the council took several steps toward dismantling the city's police department, including approving an amendment to remove $1 million from the police department and reallocate it toward the health department to hire "violence interrupters" who are intended to defuse potentially violent situations.

The council had pledged earlier in the summer to dismantle the police department and replace it with a community-based system of public safety

As the great philosopher Pogo said “ We have met the enemy and he is us”.

US? More like Socialist/Marxist

Anyone know if the recall petition in Norman ever was successful?

I see lots of articles about defunding the police and shifting the money towards mental health and social services programs.

Guess what’s going to happen when they get a “client” they can’t handle with their “be nice, talk gentle and don’t touch” philosophy.

Who they gonna call?

That sucks that the mayor didn't get recalled but it was damn close so it should be a wakeup call that she needs to check her stupid SJW crap at the door before doing her job.

It does suck but boy how I would love to grudge "you know what" her. She's good looking enough to convince her I'm a socialist then get her in the bed room and right at the end when you're finishing whisper in her ear "I'm a Libertarian and I'm voting for Trump!"
