Minneapolis City Council President Lisa Bender confirmed news Thursday night of the council's intentions to "dismantle" the city's police department in the aftermath of George Floyd's death and the resulting protests and riots that erupted across the country.
TheBlaze reported Thursday that several members on the council were seriously considering disbanding the police and putting a new form of public safety in its place. Now, given Bender's definitive statement on the matter, that action appears even more likely.
"Yes. We are going to dismantle the Minneapolis Police Department and replace it with a transformative new model of public safety," Bender wrote on Twitter in response to fellow council member Jeremiah Ellison.
Bender, who represents the city's Ward 10, did not go into specific detail regarding what exactly "the transformative new model of public safety" will look like in the tweet.
But on Friday morning, she retweeted a thread posted on Twitter by "Reclaim the Block," a local organization launched in 2018 that calls for divesting from the Minneapolis Police Department and reallocating funds into community health and safety programs..........To Read More....
My Take - So, there's going to be a "reallocate" funds from to police to "community health and safety programs"? Of course there's are no such programs in existence so there's no way to determine just exactly what that means, who's going to get the money, and what they're going to do with that money.
How can a city council "reallocate" funds for something they know nothing about? No evaluation, no discussion, no program presentation.............and no brains.
If there ever was another system for leftist corruption and fraud with taxpayer money - this is it. Oh, one more thing. I hope someone pays attention to how many actual taxpayers leave Minneapolis withing this next year.
Having said that, I think Judi McLeod of the Canada Free Press defines this best regarding the, "Minneapolis Dismantling Police More Bluster Than Muster", saying:
Like all councils, the Minneapolis City Council was elected to fix the potholes and take out the garbage. But yesterday nine of the council’s 12 members appeared at a rally in a city park, trying to make folk believe that it’s all but over for the Minneapolis Blue Line...............As for Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, who New York Post reporter Miranda Devine calls a “half-price Justin Trudeau”? Well, it seems he’s very much a part of the Act. “Minneapolis’ boy of a mayor, Jacob Frey, proves that no matter how much you abase yourself to the mob, you can never be woke enough.
