Minnesota to disband Police!

PowerStroker · UNSTOPPABLE!

Not all of Minnesota, Just Minneapolis, and yes it's time. I'm not saying there shouldn't be any law enforcement, but they need to start over with something completely different.

SELLC · CERTIFIED POST WHORE

WOW!

That is just shocking!

Start over with what!? A police force is a police force! WTF are you talking about when you say "start over"?

You guys going to hire all black officers? Isn't that racist!? Are you also going to elect Kwame Kilpatrick for Mayor?

Give me a break! Glad it's in your State and not mine! But don't be asking for Federal Dollars when this leads to the entire destruction of the city!

Maybe they could change the name to say, "New Somalia" or something catchy like that too?

You're right SELLC...It is perfectly clear that Mr.Trumpdt has failed here in this matter.

The results speak for themselves.

Time for Mr.Trumpdt to make amends !!!

SELLC · CERTIFIED POST WHORE

WTF?

Maybe you got a point, we need to re-elect Trump in November so he can make amends.

No...

Better that Mr.Trumpdt dig deep, & make amends now...Then we can see whether he's earned / secured a vote from the Minnesota general populace in November, ( or at the least secured the land-rights to his new complexium in Minneapolice).

PowerStroker · UNSTOPPABLE!

By start over I mean fire them all. Let some of them re apply for positions in the new entity IF they live in the community they will be policing, AND don't have any prior complaints. We still have the Hennepin County Sheriff's department that can respond to the acute cases in the meantime. I actually went to high school with the Hennepin County Sheriff and I know he is a genuinely good guy.

Obviously the new "police" force that comes out of this would be smaller, and allow some of those funds to be diverted to rehabilitation and community outreach. And the new force would have a lot of rules to follow. I think Minneapolis could come out of this a lot better in the end. It's a really blue city, but a lot of the current cops are just pricks and don't even live in the city, it's time to clean house.

Problem right here. Police exists to up-hold the law. Dangerous to have laws within laws. You only have to see how the Trumpdt administration conducts itself to see the net result of lies, followed by more lies...

Mr.Trumpdt has to set the example here, & start following the laws of the country, so that the Police can follow the lead.

Trump has done a spectacular job given the Democrats resistance and attacks!

There have been no lies or anything of the sort Rastus!

Well there's this to consider ...

This is arguably the best article about "Teflon Don" I've read in a while :) !!!

The truth is not the truth, it's a matter of perspective !

If Minnesota disbands it's police I think it's safe to say it will become a lawless state run by mob rule.
Does anyone think it's a good idea to disband the Police? I know that Omar would be VERY happy if there were no Police so she could pack her state with even more illegal Somalians.

Not a good idea. Good and bad cops, weed out the bad it's not the majority.

SELLC · CERTIFIED POST WHORE

That makes too much sense Shawnee! Liberals rather fire them all, let the city sink into chaos and then let anonymous protesters run the city.

Plenty have been captured on film, so they're hardly anonymous.

Oh yeah, Rastus, we can totally identify them!

He's Asian! We know who he is now! Thank goodness he wasn't wearing his sunglasses or we might have thought he was just a bandit!

But I digress... it could be a she!

Rastus · UNSTOPPABLE!

Innocent, until proven guilty.

SELLC · CERTIFIED POST WHORE

Apparently that does not apply to conservatives like Kavanaugh or the Police...

It's guilty by the court of public opinion right off the bat!

PowerStroker · UNSTOPPABLE!

Sometimes the court of public opinion is all we get. If you'll recall, the Senate shut down the Kavanaugh investigation AND the Trump investigation.

SELLC · CERTIFIED POST WHORE

There are a few things called the statutes of limitations and due process... You should look them up sometime PowerStroker!

PowerStroker · UNSTOPPABLE!

Well, the Trump thing was well within the statute of limitations. And Democrats wanted due process and a fair trial with evidence.

The Kavanaugh thing may be beyond the statute of limitations for a criminal prosecution, but it is still very much relevant to whether he should be given a lifetime appointment to the highest court in the land.

SELLC · CERTIFIED POST WHORE

Well maybe the Democrats should have thought about that in the House? I guess Nancy really thought she was just going to run the Senate in the half ass way she runs the House? Nah, didn't happen that way!

And with regards to people being appointed to the highest court in the land, we are appointing HUMANS to this court aren't we? Since the answer to that question is yes then it's clear to see you can't hold someones past against them when none of these women came forward.. Too bad for you, now if only Roberts was given the 3rd degree like Kavanaugh we wouldn't be having these issues we're having today!

SELLC · CERTIFIED POST WHORE

And lets be honest, RBG is really in no condition to be serving on the SC at her age and with her medical issues.

PowerStroker · UNSTOPPABLE!

Thomas is old and has medical issues too, do you want him gone?

SELLC · CERTIFIED POST WHORE

PowerStroker, RBG is 87 years old, while Justice Thomas is only 71! So don't give us any more of that famous over exaggerated donkey-shit...

Rule of thumb for most all other Judges (Except for the Supreme Court) is 75 years, and even that was recently upgraded from 72 years old, in other words if you're over 75 you can't even become a Judge in any other venue outside the SCOTUS.

That being said, it's clear who is WAY over that mark... and even still Justice Thomas is not the 2nd oldest person currently on the bench! Are you just singling out Justice Thomas because he happens to be black? Say it ain't so!

Nancy deserves a little more respect than that !!! She's at the least doing as well as Mr.Trumpdt & his 1/2-assed methods, likely even better !!!

Just look at all the bums & poop she's moved away :) !

SELLC · CERTIFIED POST WHORE

The city pays her in stainless steel appliances with a lifetime supply of Bon-Bon's and gourmet ice cream.

But she still can't match Hawaii who pays the bums to leave the island! LOL! I mean how else would have Obama ever made it to the mainland? I wasn't aware they gave out birth certificates for babies born in the back-seats of automobiles... Perhaps he was a failed abortion that someone found on the side of the road and rescued?

If that's true, why then is your party so against abortion? It seems a lot of your own problems would have been solved if abortions were more readily available.

SELLC · CERTIFIED POST WHORE

Were you about to call me a breeder?

evileye

PowerStroker · UNSTOPPABLE!

No, I'm just curious why so anti-abortion?

SELLC · CERTIFIED POST WHORE

Well it's like this PowerStroker, it takes a man and a woman to make a baby, right? Well what about the man?

If a woman has unprotected sex and doesn't immediately take the morning after pill after taking a load of jizz in her twat then maybe she either shouldn't be having unprotected sex or she shouldn't be having sex at all!?

In the case of rape they administer such morning after pills immediately afterwards to prevent pregnancy!

But to wait until the little guy or girl has formed in the whom!? What kind of monster does that!? That kid has rights too, even if the Father don't seem to!

Don't you agree!?

PowerStroker · UNSTOPPABLE!

Actually a fetus has no rights until it is born. And it seems as though your desire to ban abortion stems from a desire to punish people for behavior you see as immoral.

SELLC · CERTIFIED POST WHORE

I never said to ban abortions! I just asked what kind of person would do that!? And why wouldn't they just take care of it sooner rather than later!?

R1. Why doesn't Mr.Trumpdt just build-another-wall on one-of Hawaii's many islands, & leave them on it ?

R2. Henry Kissinger maybe ?...I thought he was Kenyan ?...Where's that Birth Certificate gone again ?...

R3. No doubt once you explained that it happened "on the way to the hospital", a Birth Cert. would be issued after an examination. Gotta have a DSS number !

So the people working to disband the police in Minneapolis are spending $4,500-EACH-PER-DAY in tax-payer money for private security!?

Man the people of Minnesota are fucking being HAD! LOL! Not only is Minnesota a shit-hole, they are a bunch of SUCKERS too!

Don't worry SELLC !!!

Mr.Trumpdt's pockets run deep, & he needs Minneapolis voters as much as Michigan voters too.

And besides, it's better that the Minneapolis PD be investigated & replaced, rather than Mr.Trumpdt...

Omar and her Daughter are pushing this. Daughter is in the riots. Disband police = open door for Sharia which they want.

PowerStroker · UNSTOPPABLE!

Sharia is the most conservative type of law one could imagine. A liberal is unlikely to implement such a thing even if they are a Muslim. Furthermore, Sharia requires a brutal police force to enforce. By disbanding police you decrease the chances of it or something like it happening.

Shawnee_B · FAR BEYOND DRIVEN

Better not implement it.

SELLC · CERTIFIED POST WHORE

What are you talking about Shawnee!? The moment the police department is defunded the courts have no real purpose outside of civil litigation!

At that point there is no "law" since courts legally cannot do investigative work - at least impartially in a way that would preserve our due process rights!

PowerStroker · UNSTOPPABLE!

The court system will work just fine without a Minneapolis police department. You still have county sheriffs deputies and county prisons. The prosecutors aren't going anywhere, and eventually Minneapolis will create a new entity that will be much more just and focused on community policing instead of enforcing white supremacy.

I wouldn't worry about it Rex.

SELLC · CERTIFIED POST WHORE

I worry that your state is setting a bad example... A bad example that will just eventually require a national responce that cost us all more money to resolve.

We will see, time will tell... It's your backyard so I'll be over here on my perch watching.

I'm sure that these extreme measures were not made lightly, & that a transition plan was always in place before they decided to "clean out the police swamp".

And why doesn't Mr.Trumpdt just transfer some of the DoD budget into ALL of the US-of-A states ?...1% would make-a-step in the right direction.
