Corey Booker's thoughts about ending qualified immunity are interesting. Cops having some skin in the game past being 'fired' may separate the wheat from the chaff. Couple that with the requirement of an all ways on body cam and it may sort itself out.

Police should be held to a higher standard and the bad ones should be charged to the max the law allows, the badge is not a get out of jail free card

Mexican cartels are licking their lips in anticipation of as many cities as possible to go this route. They can't wait to show just how civilized life can be.

Actually in Virginia when cartels are arrested by Fed, State or Sheriffs they are charged under RICO law which is punishable by death or life in prison.

Yeah but that may not go well, why would a cop risk doing anything if it gets him arrested. He'd be better off allowing the crime to happen than get in a situation where has to use force. Most of the time its never black and white in thise situations.

You think he'd get a fair trial?

So:
1. Defund the MPD.
2. County hires former MPD cops.
3. ???
4. Racism solved.

I think he’s saying #3 is new leadership. If he posted number 3 already and I haven’t gotten to it yet then I apologize. The problem is that we’re told the whole system is the problem, not just the MPD leadership, so how will the county police be any better?

That would be hilarious. He’s produced more falsehoods to fit his bull$hit narrative than just about anyone. I’d love to see him get excommunicated by his buddies and see him just wandering in the forest by himself .

Not going to change the dynamic of what will occur, and will happen. Scared of punishment...LOL.....no, the cartels will thrive and only the feds will be able to stop it.

If you really want to lower crime, allow elementary schools to have Bible lessons. Teach right and wrong, teach biblical faith. Tell these kids they are more than some evolutionary random act.

It's interesting that you call out public schools for indoctrinating kids yet your solution is just a different kind of indoctrination. I guess as long as you agree with the indoctrination choice it's cool right?

I wonder where police unions we are usually dems stand on these calls from dems to disband police departments.

Ok, so one indoctrination says there are no wrongs or right and they are no different than a pig or monkey. Then there is another indoctrination that says killing, stealing, hurting others is wrong but there is hope and they are more than animals.

So if the kids are going to be indoctrinated either way, lets indoctrinate them on the side that causes less crime and more respect.

Certainly not for those employed by the MPD.

Maybe, the surrounding cities within the Twin Cities will probably gobble the good ones up. Dissolving of the force probably is grounds for receiving retirement benefits. With the type of support from the council I don't think I would want to work there.

Minneapolis City Council members announce intent to defund and dismantle the city's police department - CNN

After reading that article there is not one concrete detail given by those interviewed of how this will work, why it will work and who will do the work, only that this is what we’re going to do. People are playing a dangerous game here. I’m concerned that this will have much further reaching affects than just Minneapolis.
