Defund The Police
Radicalism in America’s largest cities seems impervious to reason. Minneapolis appears ready to go ahead with getting rid of their police department. After a unanimous vote of the City Council to do so, they are now trying to figure out just how this would work. They talk about a police-free future. And that may happen sooner rather than later as more and more officers in the Minneapolis Police Department (MPD) look for other places to be employed.
One protester said: “This isn’t the first time an institution that is rooted in racism has been abolished. It’s not impossible. We don’t need to scare people and beat people into submission.” My question to her would be “Who’s going to be beaten after the police go away?”
