Has a city ever gotten rid of a police dept?
In late 2006 the Town Council of Abita Springs voted to abolish its Police Force (after scandals there with the PD) and have the Town’s police service be handled through the St Tammany Parish Sheriff’s Department.

It still is handled that way.

Id be so pissed of I lived in or owned property there. They just nuked real estate values.

Oh, I'd also be fearing for my life and getting the frick out. Congrats on making a bad situation worse.

The president of the Minneapolis City Council

At this time, I would like to point out, again, that his position is likely an elected one. If he, and the council, are able to "disband" the police department, that implies that he and the council are currently entrusted to oversee the current police department.

Being that he, and the council, have completely and utterly failed in part of their duties (overseeing the police department) which resulted in gross negligence and incompetence that led to an unfortunate death, WHY IN THE HELL are they being entrusted to fix the damn problem?

They should resign their positions and apologize for allowing such a thing to happen. That is if they believe they are actually accountable for anything.

If they use my plan it just might work: Fire the bottom half (the over reactive a-holes that are on every force , were bullied in high school and now try to flex their newfound authority) . Note: this has nothing to do with years on the force. The guys that have been there a long time and are still on the street because they can’t get promoted need to be looked at first. Then use that money to double the remaining cops’ pay. The increased pay will attract even better people to the job.
Same budget, weeds out the losers, keeps the good ones. We do away with all the petty bull shot traffic cops/sped traps/revenue collectors and only use cops to stop real crimes.
Every city should do this.

I wish entire police departments would say “frick it, figure your shite out” and would go take other jobs. All the cadets in academy classes across America should take notice too. As soon as a city’s arse is on the line, you’ll get thrown under the bus in a heartbeat. I’d love if 75% of PDs just fricking quit and let these fricking gangbangers just do their thing. I wish they’d ignore all the calls from the media when shite gets really bad and I wish they’d just tell them to frick off. I’d love to see the change in rhetoric and tone when these fricks in America have to go a couple months with no police whatsoever.

I’m hearing it’s basically a hall monitor system where citizens volunteer to watch certain areas. They have no arrest power but do have a whistle and a radio. No word yet who’s on the other end of the radio.

I hope they can retrofit their standard issue belts to holster the bright pink dildos that will serve as their primary weapon.

The Soviets abolished the Police of the Russian Empire and established the Workers' and Peasants' Militsiya, eventually to be transformed to the Peoples Commissariat on Internal Affairs or NKVD .

I thought they don’t believe in snitching. Isn’t that the culture?

Who/what will they blame when they inevitably find themselves in a city overrun with crime?
The fact that crime rates go up won't be widely reported and, thus, no explanation will be needed.

Would it be wrong of me to say that I don't give a single frick what Minneapolis does? If they want to embrace lawlessness then by God get after it!....

At first I thought you said replace with nude model. If he’s hot enough it could work.

Crime would immediately drop to zero. Who wants to be arrested by a naked dude?

It would be an interesting social experiment. I'd imagine it would certainly reverse some of the gentrification people like to complain about.

You can't exactly give this new force batons like in Britain when the citizens are armed with guns. Nobody would take that job
