They done did it

Minneapolis abolishes the Minneapolis Police Department:
Minneapolis City Council votes unanimously for proposal that could replace Police Department

Less than three weeks after they promised to begin work on “ending” the Minneapolis Police Department, some City Council members pushed forward a new vision for law enforcement Friday that could still include officers on the streets.

The council voted unanimously to advance a proposal that would create a new Department of Community Safety and Violence Prevention. Within that, the city could create a division that includes “licensed peace officers,” though it would not be required to do so.

It’s unclear how many, if any, officers would continue to be employed by the city if the proposal passes.

Council Member Cam Gordon said it’s consistent with the pledge from council members to fundamentally alter local policing in the wake of George Floyd’s killing by Minneapolis officers.

“Those things that we called the police department are gone,” Gordon said. “Certainly, there is a provision in here that would allow this council or future councils to maintain a Division of Law Enforcement Services, but I think what we need to do is have that possibility there and talk to people about what the future should look like.”
It's amusing to see that they're already trying to go back on their proposal, and the Star Tribune is attempting to give them cover to do so. This is the inevitable problem when parasites try to rule. They have absolutely no ability to actually do anything except subvert and undermine.

That's why their periods of "rule" tend to be more akin to interregnums.

What Minneapolis will end up with, of course, is the same MPD by another name. Because word play is the only play in the lunatic playbook.

Minneapolis council members who voted to dismantle the police use private security

I don't think they are sane enough to pull off a walk back- they have been systematically purging anyone with brains, foresight or caution. They are going to put in place this red guard and it is going to devour them.

Department of Community Safety and Violence Prevention.

Charged with enforcing Political Correctness, no doubt.

I suspect they'll also wind up with private security enforcement in the more affluent areas, if any remain. The government won't have any oversight or means to control it either when the plebs complain. I require more popcorn.

This is inertia. It is the plane falling out of the sky, because you ran out of fuel 10 minutes ago. Think of it as peak parabola, or just past peak, after the weightlessness, that in societal terms lasts for .5 or a whole generation, it convinces those ignorant of history, that hey, we dont need no police officers.

Now we get to see the mercilessly accelerating descent until the whole thing pancakes into reality.

Violence prevention? What shall we call these officers?

Might as well get rid of the DA too. Who needs that?

I'm having flashbacks to some stupid TV show where an alien planet had "enforcers" or "mediators" instead of police. Stop or the mediator will shoot you!

"A "veto-proof" majority of the Minneapolis City Council recently voted to abolish the city police department. And if it wasn't for the opposition for the city's Democratic mayor, Minneapolis would soon be sending social workers to investigate murder scenes.

But when it comes to their own protection, council members apparently aren't embracing the second amendment, like many other liberals in solid-blue states, and instead are relying on the city to hire expensive round-the-clock security after members of the council received multiple death threats. Currently, the protection is costing taxpayers $4,500 to hire security for three council members.

Over the past three weeks, the bill for the city has come to more than $60,000." - ZH

Oh boy. Property values are going to plummet.

They'll take credit for low crime rates under the new non-MPD MPD even if they have to further fudge facts. And they will pray to everything that's unholy that they don't have another incident in their political lifespans. Fortunately for everyone, everything that is unholy has other plans.

They don't tell you enough in the news to be sure, but what this might end up being is a covert way of getting rid of the union. If so, to the good. That was the big administrative problem in Minnesota. The union gave the cops so much cover that they abused their station.

Have to disagree with this one. They will end up with a much worse MPD because no sane LEO will want to work under their new insane policies and procedures. And the people who will suffer the most will be the very people this idiotic city council thinks they are helping.

When will they be calling in Omni Consumer Products?

I thought replacing the police with competing private security companies was one of those classic harbingers of a Grim Cyberpunk Future, and the scary end-result scenario lefties would always vomit whenever any meek libertarian proposal was put forth (remember "A Mind Forever Voyaging?") How hilariously ironic.

And when the new "Committee for Public Safety" does wind up as a new skin of the old MPD as VD predicts - I can't wait to see BLM / Antifa / etc throw their tantrums.

Right. I was talking to someone today about the CHAZ, and he noted that their liberal utopia almost immediately had armed men walking around and a committee forming to make and enforce rules--police and a government. I said sure, except that they won't have anything like a constitution or a heritage of common law, so the laws will be whatever the committee feels like at any given time and applied at the whim of their enforcers.

Someone called it a "socialist failed state speedrun": they're going to do to some of these cities in 70 days what it took the Soviets 70 years to do to Russia. It's so great.

Hope all the Goodwhites in Minneapolis suffer home invasions and robberies and then take massive losses on the their property before they flee elsewhere to repeat their virtue signaling. The joys of living in a mouse utopia, where those too stupid to live manage to ensure everyone else gets destroyed along with them.

In these times of great stress and social uncertainty, I comfort myself with the undeniable truth that Maximilien François Marie Isidore de Robespierre was in office and lead the terror for merely a year before being guillotined. Eaten by his own side!

Read some of the "reforms" he advocated (and you were a traitor if you objected, worthy of the guillotine) and ask yourself if he is not the perfect embodiment of the 21st century social justice warrior!

Same thing happened in Newark, NJ in the 60s. The staties came in and cracked a bunch of skulls. Then they rehired the local cops and renamed the police. Everyone was happy after.

For some reason I doubt the staties will be swooping in to keep order in the interim.

I'm no longer shocked by these things thanks to you Vox. This is just the next step on the way to complete collaspe as people yet again learn, nations are meant to be separate and distinct.

Blockbusting again? Plan from above may be drive whites out with temporary reigns of terror. Once property values plummet and commies capitalize, rent it to the new vibrant denizens. And rekindle police force since the "experiment failed".

I've wondered if the California Central Valley drought is the same. Commies turn off water to white-owned farmlands. White attrition, and commies carpetbag. A reverse China Town.

Blogger liberranter June 27, 2020 6:39 PM  

I'm very disappointed to read that they might not actually go all the way through with it. There isn't enough corn in Iowa and Nebraska combined to supply all the popcorn that would be needed to enable us to fully enjoy watching the denizens of the Twin Shit Holes suffer the well-deserved effects of stripping away their own protection.
