Minneapolis City Council Members Announce Intent To Disband The Police Department

Minneapolis City Council members have announced their intention to make radical changes in the city's police department.

Nine of the council's 12 members appeared at a rally in a city park Sunday afternoon and vowed to end policing as the city currently knows it.

The council members ended up standing before hundreds of people on a grassy hill and pledged to begin the process of taking apart the Police Department in its current form. 

Council Member Jeremiah Ellison promised that the council would 'dismantle' the department.

Flames from a nearby fire illuminate protesters standing on a barricade in front of the Third Police Precinct in Minneapolis, Minnesota, during a protest over the death of George Floyd. The precinct, which police had abandoned, burned after a group of protesters pushed through barriers around the building, breaking windows and chanting slogans. A much larger crowd demonstrated as the building went up in flames

Minneapolis was the center of both violent and peaceful protests following the Memorial Day death of George Floyd. 

'It shouldn't have taken so much death to get us here,' said Kandace Montgomery, the director of Black Vision at the rally. 'We're safer without armed, unaccountable patrols supported by the state hunting black people.' 

Floyd, a black man in handcuffs, died after a white officer pressed his knee on Floyd's neck, ignoring Floyd's 'I can't breathe' cries and holding it there even after Floyd stopped moving.

Community activists have criticized the department for years for what they say is a racist and brutal culture that resists change and had been pushing for a new model.

On Saturday, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey was been booed out of a Black Lives Matter demonstration after refusing to defund the city's police department - as Rep. Ilhan Omar calls for it to be disbanded.  

Frey on Saturday proved to be at odds with activists fighting police brutality just two days after he sobbed uncontrollably at the foot of George Floyd's gold coffin during a memorial service. 

Rep Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez stopped short of backing Omar's call to dismantle police departments. 

 The freshman congresswoman joined other top progressive Democrats on Friday in backing steep budget cuts to local police in the wake of Floyd's death.

The state of Minnesota launched a civil rights investigation of the department last week, and the first concrete changes came Friday when the city agreed to ban chokeholds and neck restraints. 

Although no specific plans have yet been announced for the new 'community model' of policing in Minneapolis. the council have pledged to work with the community in drawing up something fresh and with consent according to the New York Times.

Protesters who were present at the rally held close to Powderhorn Lake agreed that it was a breakthrough that elected officials had committed to complete overhaul of policing.  

The complete remaking of the department is likely to unfold in coming months.

Across the country over the last week, protesters marched on city streets and voiced their demands to cut or abolish police departments altogether frequently chanting “defund the police”.

Derek Chauvin, 44, the officer filmed kneeling on Floyd's neck during his arrest was a 19-year veteran of the force. He faces murder charges in Floyd's death

George Floyd was filmed two weeks ago on Monday begging the Minneapolis cop to stop.

Just my opinion but they have lost their minds! I’m all for reform due to this tragedy but to defund the police dept???  I guess when people have an emergency they can still call ghost busters!

[MEP01]

I'm for it. Make it like the old west... Arizona, and such. Everyone had a gun, and everyone respected each other... Most of the time.

The Sheriff got involved only if necessary.

The Constitution was thought to indicate that you could do pretty much what you want, just don't scare the horses!

If they do away with law enforcement we will see the PURGE in real life 

[keylime]

These Democrat run cities and states are a dangerous joke.

I called a friend in Minneapolis and asked him what he thought about this.  His answer was not shocking, he went out and bought 6 guns and a lot of Ammo.

When they have a problem they will shoot it out just like the Wild Wild West.    This is what the Dems want.  Lawlessness, Anarchy.  

 

BTW, Back Lives Matter wants to have an armed police force to watch their neighborhoods.  

 

Antifa is traing their militia with firearms.

People don’t have morals anymore like they did back in that day. I guarantee you if no police which means no endorcement of laws then only crime syndicates will run the city and people will die and disappear and those towns will turn into a ghost town or we will send in the military to protect the innocent lives. These people are ridiculous seriously no police how stupid is that?? Again all this crap is mainly happening in Democratic run states go figure! If we need to DEFUND anything it’s the entire Corrupt Democratic worthless party they are completely  100% worthless and the people that follow their worthless policies are no more then Sheep!! Yes I said it and whatever Democrat read this I don’t care, take a close look in the mirror and stop being a sheep! I know soooooo many former democratic voters that will NEVER vote democrat again because they have seen their true colors period!!
