Black people in Minneapolis are pissed at the city council They want, need, and support the police. They think the police need to do better in many respects but they aren't being stupid and supporting any effort to defund them.

Insanity.

Councilor Andrew Johnson, one of the nine members who supported the pledge in June, said in an interview that he meant the words “in spirit,” not by the letter.


I would love for someone to fully press him on this and make him explain exactly what he thought defunding in spirit means

Who could forsee this happening, what with multiple members of the council requesting police details due to death threats immediately following the vote?

Every one of those useless assholes should be recalled.

This is what happens when you elect people who have no personal responsibility. Always someone else's fault.

So now, many Black citizens of Minneapolis are angry. Not because the police aren't being defunded. But because the white city council pledged to do so without ever actually consulting their constituents.


Democrats gonna democrat. White liberals are better than you and dont need to ask you because they know better than you.

Just admit you were wrong.

How hard is it for them to just simply say, ok we were wrong and we need the police after all
