Thats how public office works. Youre elected by the people. If you dont serve the people you elect, youll be voted out. Whether the people are wrong or right is irrelevant. Thats how it works.

This is some game of thrones shit right here. Also abolishing police departments is legit the dumbest idea ever and would deepen the gap between rich neighborhoods and poor ones more than anything in the recent history of this country.

All that virtue signaling and pandering he did wasn't worth shit lol the liberals are cannibalizing themselves at every opportunity and I love to see it.

That shit was crazy the protestor legit said "get the fuck outta here" to the mayor after she demanded he completely abolish the police department.

Sorry but that's a somewhat crazy demand.

I'm just as anti-cop as the next person and believe all drugs should be legalized but this is too radical even for me.

Our society isn't ready to get rid of police as a whole we just need to change how they operate. It feels like an idiotic pipe dream to just demand "no more cops".

On the flip side, I like how politicians are actually being held to task for their stances on issues and how they wield their power. This dude was giving every speech and interview telling people what they wanted to hear and he thought lip service would be enough to save him like it usually is with our politicians.

Guess again.

This. People act like the world is run by nice, competent men in suits, but it's actually run by the people who see the movie Jaws and fantasize about punching the woman who lost her son after she slaps the protagonist.

Good point.

And those same corporations and politicians can afford private security and live in more secure neighborhoods while the regular joe schmoes asking for this legislation will end up in a lawless jungle full of predatory street gangs.

I dunno, we've made great progress on the fundamental problem that makes police necessary in the last few months, thanks to Covid-19.

So let me get this straight.

People think there is to much police brutality so the plan here is to fire all the people with guns and anger issues who are the only ones available to stop people from committing crimes?

Seems like a brilliant idea.

It's a lot of faith to place in humanity that communities will all unanimously agree to live together in harmony and not commit any crimes. This is coming from the recent riots and looting in which people attacked their own communities.

The dumb part is that the woman in the video along with numerous viewers will think it's fantastic that the Mayor had to walk away as if it's a victory and in any way validates their argument.

Abolishing the police would result in such an utter failure that people would entirely ignore the original point of the protests and just point out how much of a failed idea abolishing the police was. The protests would have been for nothing.

I hope no one seriously wants to abolish the police.

that's odd that he couldn't defend himself at all or even give a PC statement about it like

"i will de-fund appropriately and clean up MPD, all bad cops must go"

shit like that would've riled them up

no most people are fine with defunding the police (its a reasonable request considering how overfunded they are) the problem is he couldnt commit to that either

They should commit to reforming police, not necessarily defending them.

Uh, no, most normal people are not okay with either abolishing or defunding the police. Only extremists.

Can you imagine if Minneapolis became so radicalized that they just kept voting out incumbent mayors until one of them committed to abolishing the police lol
