So I guess it's all on Sheriff's office now. Just like when San Carlos disbanded its PD: all cops became deputies of San Mateo Sheriff's Office and the life went on.

They don't want the Sheriff, they want the People's Anarcho-Syndicalist Lesbian Women of Color Committee to run public safety.
House robbed? The poor POC suffering from PTSD needed your TV.
Misgender a Trannie? Summary execution.

There will be no change. I hope it happens so citizens can realize how worthless the government they pay for actually is.
Minneapolis’ left-leaning City Council members on Sunday announced a veto-proof push to disband the Minneapolis police department, ramping up a major conflict inside the city following the death of George Floyd while in police custody.
There will be no change. I hope it happens so citizens can realize how worthless the government they pay for actually is.

While they simultaneously ask for free money. Maybe you shouldn't have surrendered your police station. Idiots.

Nice! Mr. Republican is now for dismantling police departments and replacing them with the Womyn Love Womyn Resistance Militia?
Surprised it's not a XiNN link.

Huh? Can't read? Here, right from the horse's mouth:
“We recognize that we don’t have all the answers about what a police-free future looks like, but our community does."
Clearly, you and yours don't need the police.
Obviously we need the police

The freed up money means minority leaders with new Mercedes, gold watches, and diamond stick pins? Thank you, Mr. Floyd. The bowing white people were a nice touch, too.

You'll need to exclude any BLM, La Raza, critical race theory types then. They're racist as hell.
We need police but not in the current form. It will all change and racists/bad cops will get what they deserve.

This is not even proper English. Don’t they teach you grammar in CCP propaganda training?
By the way, the police are not broken. It is a thankless, dangerous job because the Democrat racists have been deliberately fueling and institutionalizing inequality by promoting welfare and subsidies that ensure minorities remain in ghettos rather than challenging people to better themselves through self sufficiency and education. When the government gives people hand outs we get people dependent on handouts and with no real opportunity to better themselves. Subsidizing single mothers had led to generations of black men who have grown up with no male role models in their home. No wonder drugs, gangs and crime abound. George Floyd was into drugs and multiple times over a violent criminal. All we know was the times he got caught, but he probably committed many more. He also had several children with different women which proves the point that if anything inner city culture is broken. The police make mistakes too, but by and large law enforcement is what prevents people like George Floyd from breaking the law and therefore the police generally do a fine job of keeping the peace.
The MN police needs to be fixed. It’s broken.

So, how's Minneapolis "community" is going to deal with situations like previous George Floyd's adventure, the one involving kicking in front doors and pointing guns at pregnant women's bellies without police around? Who are they gonna call? Ghostbusters?

Someone is confused: first he responds with enthusiastic approval to the news of Minneapolis abolishing the polise and ushering in "police-free future" and then the same person says "we need the police"...
I understand, 50 cents is 50 cents, but at least put some effort earning it.

If he had real balls he could have told the truth - "Floyd died of a heart attack brought on by his heavy illegal drug use along with the stress of his violent arrest. He did not die from 'asphyxiation."
Frey didn't have the balls to stand on the casket and shout, 'HE ATE TWINKIES! HE WAS GONNA DIE ANY SECOND, ANYWAY, YOU CUNTS!'
That would have gotten him the ratings.

Many activists have been pushing at least for their cities to defund local police departments, a move many other analysts considered unrealistic. The measure has been the main focus for many people protesting against police brutality.
Supporters of the move told Fox News, “We recognize that we don’t have all the answers about what a police-free future looks like, but our community does. We’re committing to engaging with every willing community member in the city of Minneapolis over the next year to identify what safety looks like for you.”
The city council members spoke at a protest at Powderhorn Park, a neighborhood in Minneapolis. The number of supporters in attendance represented a veto-proof majority to push the measure through, Fox 9 reported.
KARE listed Council President Lisa Bender, VP Andrea Jenkins and Councilmembers Alondra Cano, Jeremiah Ellison, Steve Fletcher, Phillipe Cunningham, Cam Gordon and Jeremy Schroeder as attending the event, most of whom took turns to address the gathered crowd. Ellison is the son of state Attorney General Keith Ellison. Most members of the city council belonged to the Minnesota Democratic–Farmer–Labor Party.
“Our commitment is to end our city’s toxic relationship with the Minneapolis Police Department,” Bender said. “It is clear that our system of policing is not keeping our communities safe. Our efforts at incremental reform have failed, period.”
However, Ellison more clearly stated the intent of those gathered.
“This council is going to dismantle the police department,” Ellison reportedly said. “If you don’t stay in this fight I fear that this council or another will just glue it back together.”
