SHALLOW POLITICAL POSTURING OR HONEST STUPIDITY?

Maybe A Fair Measure Of Both

by Bob Walsh

On Sunday afternoon a large majority of the Minneapolis City Council announced their commitment to totally disband the police department.  (Please note that this is NOT the same thing as actually voting to do that.)

City Council President Lisa Bender stated, "Our efforts at incremental reform have failed.  Period." Pajama boy mayor Jacob Frey is opposed, but if all the psycos on the council actually do vote for it, they can override his veto.

The P D does not have the best effectiveness record in the world.  They clear about 56% of their homicides and only 22% of their rapes.  Last year they "found" 1,700 rape kits that had never been processed.  I guess they were in somebody's desk drawer.

It is unclear what, if anything, the city council wants to replace the police department with.  

The Minneapolis public schools, the Parks and Rec Department the the University of Minnesota have already acted to disassociate themselves from the Minneapolis P D.  

I am sort of reminded of the recent vote by the city council in Seattle to fuck over Amazon by charging them a huge "fee" for the employment of their workers in their fair city.  Amazon said FUCK YOU, WE'RE LEAVING.  The city council "rethought" their position (meaning they pissed all over themselves) at the thought of Amazon leaving.  I wonder what will happen when (not if) businesses figure out that they have essentially zero police protection.  Perhaps their tax base will disappear in a puff of smoke and the city will collapse of it's own collective stupidity.

Maybe I am just a bad person, but I would like to see it happen.  Then see what these social justice warriors and virtue signalling assholes do.
