Put yourself in the shoes of black Americans, she says. Imagine if you caught someone breaking into your home and feared that calling the police might endanger you more than confronting the burglar yourself would.

It’s “privilege” to know that you have less to fear from the cops than the criminals. Or so she insists.

I am going to laugh so hard when these council members get their homes robbed and trashed.

They break it, they own it.

The insanity and lunacy of the Left knows no bounds....
These people should be in a mental ward, not on a city council.

lol

The threads are just getting too silly at this point.

This is not real news this is silly garbage posted to agitate.

There’s a lot more going on in the world than a few blue cities slashing or closing their police depts.

Who the hell cares. Let them.

I live in NYC and I don’t care.

Let’s get the fight under way and over with.

They probably live in nice areas with armed, private security. They’ll be fine.

Yes, and they try to outdo each other with it.

It started when they couldn’t figure out which bathroom to use...

“privilege”
So, that’s what they’re calling “common sense” now?

Maybe if we get rid of the Fire Department, no more buildings will burn down.

It’s a also gonna be a privilege to fear Islamic rape gangs, jihadis beheading folks, and thugs invading homes.

Do this idiots on the Minneapolis City Council realize that the Police have rock solid union contracts? The City Council would lose in court if they tried to disband or defund the Police. One way or another the Police will get paid.

And he’ll win again this year. Maybe he can really drain the swamp this time, beginning with the DOJ and Pentagon - then moving to the State Dept.

These people get elected and reelected by appealing to the underclass. If they made sense to working Americans, they could never win office in a major democrat run city.

They’re morons that don’t think beyond their petty, little emotions. They will NOT survive the “unintended consequences”.
The only thing standing between the insane, rabid left and hundreds of thousands of heavily-armed patriots is......the police.

I’m wary of cops. Calling the cops rarely improves a situation.

Criminals, OTOH, I *know* will do me harm, usually in a big way. Oddly, that’s why they are called “Criminals”.

The town is already called Mogadishu on the Mississippi, I can’t see dumping the police force will help anything.

Right now the “poverty rate” in the Twin Cities is ‘around 40%’ in some areas.

Expect to see that skyrocket over the next year.

These poeple are completely unhinged, and cannot even grasp the basic facts, or have an inch of common sense
