Dismantling the police department

Minneapolis city council to dismantle the police (New York Post)

What happens if there is no police force? 

Its clear the rich folk will hire private security personnel -- they're safe.  The politically connected and socialist elites will probably take tax money for their personal protection -- they're safe.  So who will protect the ordinary folk?  Who will protect the people?

No one, if Minneapolis city clowncil gets its way.  That is disgusting political posturing, or more likely, pure elitism.  The MCC is going to get protection from their personal body guards; their property will be protected 24/7.

Eliminating police protection is a way of making it clear  commoners don't matter to the Minneapolis city council .  The last vestige of equality under the law is eliminated.  Or, more plainly, Screw the People.

We are entitled to equal protection under the law.  That means police cannot be allowed to murder people and get away with it.

Minneapolis city council  is responsible for the death of George Floyd.  The council did not ensure their police department was getting properly trained about citizen rights.  Some of the council's  police were not aware that black people have rights equal to all other citizens.

The Minneapolis mayor is not going along with this nonsense (Fox News).

Officials in other cities, including New York, have begun to talk of diverting some money and responsibilities from police forces to social services agencies, but no other major city has yet gone as far as the Minneapolis officials promised to do” (New York Times).

From Dan Crenshaw: This is dangerous, counterproductive, and deeply irrational. “Defund the police” is not a call from the fringes of the far left anymore. It has gone from a radical slogan to actual policy in a major American city, within days (Twitter).

The Mayor of Washington D.C. dodged a question about a commissioned mural that says “defund police” (ABC News).
