No it won’t.
Because when it fails, it is still going to be reported to be the right’s/racist’s fault.

Oh it’s working just the way it was intended to work. They just don’t like the results.

If by "progress" you mean insuring that your city will only realistically be able to hire the worst possible candidates for the job, thus making your police force worse than it had ever been, sure.
Meanwhile, surrounding areas will pilfer any good cops you may have a shot at hiring.

I'm hoping the strategy here is to dismantle the police department in order to get rid of the current union contract. That's a big barrier to disciplining or getting rid of bad cops. Then reconstruct a new department with a new union contract. Unfortunately, that may be the only way to make progress.
Liberals: Unions are a wonderful entity in fighting for the rights of the collective worker.
Also Liberals: Abolish the entire force as a means to get around the power of the union.

This has been the irony surrounding the protests in NOLA all week. They are led by the socialist workers party and have been making sure to throw in about trying to unionize the service workers each day.

I kinda want to see this happen in several cities across the country.

Is this really a thing in NO? Have they ever actually produced a candidate for any publicly elected office? Or, are they just some cheap arse poor-man's lobbyist group looking for a bit of legitimacy?

Me too. I want to watch these liberals' policies implemented so we can watch them blame the results on Trump, republicans, and white people.
If there was ever a time for MN to ever go red in a presidential election, this may be it.

Take it apart, build it back.
Sounds like at the end of the process they will still have a police force.

It is. Work with one of the socialist group leaders.
Not sure what their election record looks like.
Their propaganda looks straight Russian. Not sure why they have chosen that as it opens them criticism at some point.

They're going to blame someone else for their own problems anyway, that's how you get to be 50 years old and still be a progressive.
These people will not flee to the suburbs though, they'll flee to some smaller whitopia away from the city where they can still pretend to play puritan.

Yeah, this seems like a rational reaction to the situation

Funny how this shite always seems to happen in Democrat controlled cities yet they never bear the brunt of the blame

Marxism is a victim mentality, blaming everyone else for your own problems.
I enjoy seeing these people get what they want, because it's not going to end well.

So how will this work?
Posted on 6/7/20 at 9:26 pm to RLDSC FAN
Gonna be interesting. It is a way to bypass unions and have accountability. I hope it works.
