We (all with any sense) knew this would happen before they did it.

Thank you my friend MAJ Dale E. Wilson, Ph.D. for posting the perspective from The Telegraph contributing author Rozina Sabur
How defunding the police backfired in Minneapolis, the city which sparked George Floyd protests across the world
The four-block intersection where Mr Floyd died - renamed George Floyd Square - is now a test case, with concrete barricades and a regular swarm of activists manning an "autonomous zone", effectively barring police from the area.
And it is not going well.
Earlier this month a 30-year-old volunteer was shot dead, and cars with broken windows line the streets. Business owners say customers have fled and emergency services refuse to come in.
“I call that the United States," says Sam Willis, the owner of Just Turkey restaurant, as he gestures beyond the barrier. "Over here, this is an area where there’s lawlessness."
The so-called autonomous zone was initially supported by Minneapolis' progressive city council. Last June a majority of councillors vowed to dismantle the city’s police department and later cut $8 million from its budget, in a knee-jerk reaction to protests over Mr Floyd's death."

It's lawless here': How defunding the police backfired in Minneapolis after George Floyd's death
Visitors to the George Floyd memorial in Minneapolis must walk past concrete barricades and makeshift checkpoints to reach the site where the 46-year-old took his last breath with his face pressed to the asphalt.

One of the reasons woke liberals can't figure out why their policies fail, is they are missing the part of their brain that signals, "individuals are responsible for their own actions". They do not believe George Floyd was responsible for the crimes he committed the day he died, and they do not believe the police are individually responsible for their actions. It was "the community" or "the environment" or "a hard childhood" that caused George Floyd to commit his crimes, and it was the "systemic racism" of the entire police force (and ALL police forces everywhere) that caused the police officers to commit their crimes that day. Until we can replace the missing parts of "progressive" brains, we should expect more idiocrasy from every woke politician.
