Soros-backed proposal to replace Minneapolis police force approved for November ballot

Soros-backed proposal to replace Minneapolis police force approved for November ballot
The Minneapolis City Council voted 12-1 on Friday to push a petition drive to replace Minneapolis' police force with a department of public safety onto the November ballot.
The proposal asks voters if they want to approve a plan to replace the police department with a new public safety department focused on a "comprehensive public safety approach" that would include police officers "if necessary to fulfill the department's responsibilities."
A new political committee calling itself Yes 4 Minneapolis gathered 20,000 petition signatures to place a question on the ballot to amend the city's charter. In February, The Reformer reported the group is fueled by a single $500,000 donation from progressive activist billionaire George Soros' Open Society Policy Center, citing campaign finance documents.
The plan would eliminate the charter's minimum number of police and remove the mayor's "complete power" over the department.
The plan's advancement follows a June court order for the 435,000-person town to hire more police since it's currently violating its charter by understaffing police after many quit or claimed disability after the death of George Floyd in police custody.
Hennepin County District Judge Jamie Anderson's writ of mandamus ordered Minneapolis City Council and Mayor Jacob Frey to "immediately take any and all necessary action to ensure that they fund a police force" of at least 730 sworn officers, or more if required by the 2020 Census to be published later this year, by June 30, 2022.
The writ of mandamus follows a year after the Minneapolis city council unanimously passed a resolution intending to disband the police force and create a new public safety model in response to George Floyd's death in police custody.
Meanwhile, violent crime surged in the city. Carjackings increased 537% year-to-date in November 2020. More than 550 people were wounded by gunfire in 2020, exceeding a 100% increase over 2019, Minnesota Public Radio reported, while people shot more than 24,000 bullets in Minneapolis in 2020.
According to city data, there were 82 homicides in 2020, the third-worst year in city history. The Star Tribune reported 97 homicides were recorded in 1995, the worst year on record when the city was given the nickname "Murderapolis," followed by 83 homicides in 1996. In 2019, there were 48 homicides.

I want to watch all these liberal cities burn themselves down. Only way for their voters to learn.

No police officer should willingly work there.

If every last police officer isn't busy looking for a new job right now, it's on them once they get replaced by a social worker.

If I were a cop in Minneapolise, I would've quit effective immediately and figured out the new job situation later.

Kind of hard to hire anyone to work in a war zone when they know politicians will frick them in the arse whenever controversy arises.
That covers the military and the police these days.

I bet most of the ones left are either old timers trying to finish up their 20 and leave or guys too incompetent to get on with a different department.

I hope this passes, and if I were a governor or mayor of a republican state/city I would offer free 1 way bus tickets to anyone who wants them.

Minneapolis is about to experience “Blackhawk Down” live and in person.
Queen Omar supports this I’m sure, as does Queen Kamala.

IT already happened in their own fricking city and it was a disaster. People were begging to bring back more police within months.
I know these retarded progressives have short memories but goddamn

This implies that the cops will venture into Minny to try and grab one of the warlords.
What is more likely to happen is Assault On Precinct 13 where the mobs try to siege the cops. Again.

Yup. Where is Lindell's factory? It's in Minny I think right?

A former cop who progressives hated just won the Democratic primary for NYC. If things get bad enough even the most corrupt city can’t stop the will of the voters.
