They haven't voted, they've issued a mission statement.
I suppose the good thing is there'll be lots of new job opportunities within the gangs who'll take advantage of the loss of opposition to protection rackets and hooliganism designed to benefit protection rackets. It should be cost effective too because the same hooligans can work both sides of the racket.
By the way I drove through Minneapolis this morning, parts of it looked like London during the Blitz, maybe if they can disband the police the rest of it can too.

Maybe you should move there. There will be some bargains as those that can will flee.

I hope some real reform is on the horizon. This gives me hope.

A friend of mine from Minneapolis said that the police department wouldn’t be disbanded but some of the money would be redirected to social services/social workers, etc like it used to be. Programs have shrunk while the police force has decreased. So if a person is suicidal you don’t send a cop who is likely to make it worse. Some cities have crisis teams of cops and social workers in dangerous mental health situations. My friend thinks it’s a great idea.
