totally agree with you Stuart....

However, I have to keep remembering that the citizens of this state also voted a former professional wrestler (Jessie "the body" Ventura) in as their governor...and Al Franken, a former comic on Saturday Night Live, as their US Senator....so this is clearly a state where just about anything goes

Kind of remember that good old Jesse even ran for president some years ago.

Not part of their agenda so no way do they cover or even mention it.

The criminals are rejoicing.

If they defund the police then it will be chaos and survival of the fittest. They will get exactly what they deserve

A whole generation has been raised on "entitlements" and they actually believe they are entitled to what you worked for, thus riots and stealing and killing to get it! I don't buy the "victim" answer. How many are on drugs that were bought through dishonest
Doctors providing prescriptions? Or those coming across the borders since there has been a push to let all enter the country and now a huge new entitlement group.. I am concerned for our country and fear this is just the tip of the problems to continue and come. This has manifested itself because we have turned out backs because it had not hit home. Well, the chicken has come home to roost.

Richmond VA counsel member wants to defund part of the city police and give the to hire someone to go into the poor neighborhoods to TEACH them how to act. That will work well.

[karostay]

All police should call in sick for a few weeks...See how that goes...Just saying

[Steve9930]

If you defund the police here is what will happen. Crime will rise in the minority neighborhoods. They will suffer. The affluent neighborhoods will be just fine. Fact of life. Crime has already started to climb in NYC because of its policies of no bail. Decent people will no longer become police officers. Why should they?

Simply campaign gibberish.

It's only 146 days until the general election.

The affluent areas will hire security guards to patrol and keep out the thiefs and looters.

The poor neighborhoods will get the crime.

Ideas like these come in waves of unrealistic demands that get worse the longer the violence continues. Replacing God with a different one and a 10 day week to eliminate holy days were some examples of the French Revolution. There are other examples but the FR occurred during Enlightenment which has some parallels to modern day appreciation of science over holiness. Although this one may be absurd set your expectations low on new ones should the unrest spread and continue.

Here's a video of Minneapolis destruction during riots, is this what their city council is "listening" to?

Here is a reality check. Hundreds of millions of $$$ in destruction that will not come back, Why ?

People yes Simple as that who in their right mind would want to live their.

People = Tax $$$

Already a well established company since 1987 is pulling out.

So those who supported the protesting stood by and let the riots, looting, and yes cheered them on.

All of you wallow in your self inflicted misery.

Put in plainer terms, they are "religiously" devoted to further destroying what's left of their city.
