Note the wishes of the morally superior: hopes that the murder rate triples.

Yawn... I live in mpls and you are all idiots. There is nothing about eliminating police. It’s about restructuring the department of public safety to better respond.

Look up ‘Bob Kroll...’ you neo-nazis on this site would love him.

Hey moron - wake up. Your own City Council (including the president) has said they intend to fully dismantle the police and not in a half-measured way. Did you even read the article?

I didn't say I hope the murder rate triples. I said I hope they dismantle the cops, so that when the murder rate triples we can all laugh at the short-sided BLM race hustlers and white cucks.

Either way, I don't think I would have to wish for it all. When the police basically decided to stop policing Baltimore, the city went from 211 murders the year before Freddy Grey to 350 the following year.

Policing save black lives.

If any city could get away with removing the police it's Minneapolis. Aren't they one of the whitest cities in the country?

The downtown and two other closeby areas are not. One area was in the news recently.

Downtown made a lot of news last summer. See video above.

Yeah, lets get less police in a downtown area where there is increasing crime driving business away. Who gets happy when they hear that news?

This is what was going on in downtown Minneapolis last summer. I dare the liberals to watch it.

Good post.

The leftists get emotional without using a balanced approach.

We have to look at both sides of the issue before reaching a conclusion.

Evidently, the Minneapolis City Council would be elated over that news.

All the gun nuts there will have to go out and buy some more AR-15s

Defunding Minneapolis police will have a significant effect on downtown business. We won't want to be there.

Got away with it? Was that before or after they were all arrested and the issue was corrected without a massive police presence?

You are straight up lying, poorly informed and racist! Congrats!

Anybody want to buy a condo or two?

Really nice, my wife’s an architect. Great amenities too.

Two 1-bedrooms made into a 1-bedroom plus and an independent studio, easy to re-separate if desired.

Let me know. Seriously, I think we will be entertaining offers. I have called a family meeting for tomorrow, we need to figure out what we want to do, and how.

Part of me hopes this can succeed, part of me knows it won’t. We are lucky because I suppose we don’t need to be here, and we have options.

I should have known it was all headed south when they demolished my old track and built a new one that nobody can now use.

RACIST! RACIST! How dare you move out of a city that votes to eliminate law and order. Are you a white supremacist? Let's doxx you and ruin your life so your friends and family hate you and you can never work again! Then let's blame the destruction of your city by criminals on "structural racism"

You can find the name of every single one of those arrested, and look up the dispositions right here:

After you do, you can amend your post.

One follows the other in your mind. You hope they dismantle the police department, which you're certain will lead to a massive increase in homicides. If you didn't want a massive increase in homicides, then you shouldn't want them to dismantle the police department.

I think increased access to guns increases the risk of firearm deaths. I don't want the country flooded with even more guns to then massively increase the number of firearm deaths here just to prove my point.

Makes you wonder why armed black suspects are 3.5 times more likely to die at the hands of law enforcement than armed white suspects.

Uhhh not really. They hold their guns sideways. It's incredibly difficult to accurately aim like that.

Post your source or else this is just a misleading quote.

And by the way, that was not "corrected" at all. That video was viral for months of social media, and the police only went looking for suspects (who weren't hard to find, as the hung around downtown Minneapolis in gangs assaulting people all summer), after one local media (KSTP) and Fox News finally got wind of it and put it on front page. Otherwise, the police would have done nothing, like the city council did and continues to do.

That's good news that justice has been served.

It appears the poster was wrong about that part, but that doesn't mean he or she is racist.

Leftists are wrong to exaggerate and focus on only one side of the issue.

Do you know what dismantle means? Did it say they were going to fire all police? Or even fire any?

They could get rid of the ‘department’ and have police report to a ‘department of public safety’ that included fire/ambulance response broken up by area vs job.

It could include separating police and investigators into different areas... it could mean a lot of things.

Ignoring the rest of your post, which is dubious at best, where did you get this data?

FBI data is pretty clear. The rate of deaths from police-citizen interactions is almost the same across all racial groups.
