I just read on yahoo.com news that the Minneapolis City Council is seeking to permanently DISBAND the Minneapolis PD!!! WOW!!! An unheard of display of Common Sense and Human Rights Actually Mattering in America. I am floored. Stunned. Lost at sea in admiration. Flabbergasted. What about all of you? Rob
In your mind, what does that mean?Originally Posted by gimmethesimplelife
In another thread we are talking about performative allyship.
In the city of St. Louis with our constant race politics I see plenty of performative legislating. Without looking into it in any way and just taking what you say at face value,I suspect this is one of those cases.
Probably combining forces with the St. Paul PD or that of a close-in first rung suburb, maybe Brooklyn Park? There is of course a need for a policing function - just not the current systemically evil one. Is this what you are refering to - combining Minneapolis with another PD? Rob
“Several of us on the council are working on finding out what it would take to disband the Minneapolis Police Department and start fresh with a community-oriented, nonviolent public safety and outreach capacity,"
Intriguing.....but not very specific. Rob
I'm wondering how that works during home invasions and bank robberies.
We already see how it works with the current PD. Doesb't take much to equal death already in Minneapolis, does it? Rob
Should have been doesn't above. Rob

I'm really hoping SteveinMN sees this and comments. I'd love to hear his take as a local. Rob
