Well that didn’t last long! Along with being vague and ambiguous the fact that crime is increasing and citizens are asking “where are police” has a lot to do with the back tracking! I predict other cities will realize police are a lot less brutal than the thugs that will rule the streets when the cops are gone. If left to leftest and Democrats a one car funeral would be screwed up!

Thank you my friend LTC David Brown for sharing the great news that the Minneapolis City Council has backed off from their 'promise' to dismantle the police.
It is ironic to say the least that "Councilor Andrew Johnson, one of the nine members who supported the pledge in June, said that he meant the words 'in spirit'" and Council president Lisa Bender agreed with him in essense.
"Members of the Minneapolis City Council reveal their regrets on the collpased pledge to defund the police that was announced in June
Council president Lisa Bender said: 'I think our pledge created confusion in the community and in our wards'
Councilor Phillipe Cunningham the pledge was 'up for interpretation' and 'it was very clear that most of us had interpreted that language differently'
In August the city’s Charter Commission voted to pause the amendment to dissolve the police force and voted to take 90 more days to review it
This means the move to dismantle the police won't make it on November ballot
Critics are bashing officials for not working together and for failing to define whether the move means to abolish the police altogether or reallocate funds
"Councilor Andrew Johnson, one of the nine members who supported the pledge in June, said that he meant the words 'in spirit'.
Council president Lisa Bender said: 'I think our pledge created confusion in the community and in our wards.'
Elected officials have interpreted the pledge differently, some believing defunding the police means to redirect some money in the police budget to social programs and others thinking it means creating a police-free future.
The move to dismantle the police has faced significant legislative hurdles as it has been rejected by the city’s mayor, a plurality of residents in public opinion polls, and the city's Charter Commission.
Previous hopes to have the move to dissolve the department on this November's ballots have been dashed."

Elections have consequences and the "default" partisans have not only elected their politicians, but they've reelcted them. The cities where politicians have been catering to the defund mobs have been ran by partisan hacks for decades.

Imagine if the left realized their true democracy dreams where the majority makes all of the rules. The disparate and underprivileged would truly be marginalized.

I get so tired of the “systemic racism” garbage. When I started Anesthesia school people with sickle cell disease had a life expectancy of their mid twenties. Sickle cell disease s a genetic condition that affects about 100,000 people, mostlyBlacks in Amerca. Today the average life expectancy is into the mid 40’s. America is a world leader n treatment and a cure is on the horizon. If we were so horrible why the time, money and research for 100,000 people of a despised minority? 100,000 people out of 350 million!

The only real systemic racism I see today, is in the American lefts' classrooms where ethnicity dictates entry, grades and future placement based on misguided quotas.
