The Death of Minneapolis

Part of being human is that there will always be those people who do not obey the law.  Crime is everywhere.  Some places it is more rampant, but it is everywhere.  To be clear, crime is not going away no matter how much the local government wants it to.

I mention all this because today. the City Council of Minneapolis announced that it is going to disband the police force and replace it with a new community centered public safety organization.  In fact, the left wing Democrats who control the City Council proudly announced that they have a veto proof majority to carry out that plan.  It's the ultimate in virtue signaling.  Look at us, the Council seems to be shouting, "we join the community in hating the police so much that we are doing away with the police force."  The Council doesn't seem to care if there is crime in the city.  They are showing solidarity with those offended by the death of George Floyd allegedly at the hands of one member of the police force.  What will happen when there's a murder in Minneapolis?  How about a rape?  What happens when there's a home invasion in the capitol of Minnesota?  What if there's a stolen car, a street mugging, or a break in at a store?  Who are the citizens going to call/  Ghostbusters/

The most amazing part of all this nonsense is that the most crime ridden areas in the city are populated by minorities.  So, in order to show solidarity with minorities, the City Council has decided to leave them at the mercy of the thugs, criminals and miscreants in minority neighborhoods.  Maybe the Council can call the bill, "We care about minorities, so we want them to be subjected to a massive criminal onslaught.'

I do not believe that the people of Minnesota will accept this plan.  How many will move from Minneapolis to escape the chaos?  How many jobs will flee the city for safer areas?  And what will the citizens of the city think?  Will they applaud a braindead move that says "we may be total morons but we care?"  Or will the citizens dump this far left cabal of lunatics at their earliest opportunity/

No matter what the city voters do, however, my prediction is that the people in the rest of the state will reject this political BS for the nonsense that it is.  Minnesota was always going to be close in November.  Joe Biden, however, has endorsed defunding police departments across the country.  My prediction is that Biden's bizarre position will lose him the very votes he needs to carry super blue Minnesota.  2020 could be the first time in 40 years that Minnesota goes Republican.  It's not that there's a huge majority of Trump supporters in the Gopher State; there isn't.  It's just that voters across the state will not want to see a government that actually thinks it is a good idea to get rid of the police.  What would be next?  Would Democrats decide to support women in their fight against rape by castrating all men?  That makes about as much sense as the plan for the police.

MINNESOTA IS VOTING REPUBLICAN IN NOVEMBER.
