Defund Police...

[seer]

Oooooops!

One good thing that Camden did was to get the cops out of the squad cars. I'm a strong supporter of cops walking the beat, getting to know the neighborhood.

"And replace it with and alternative model."

The alternative model is not police. It is social workers. Read the articles. No cops. No police. None.

Of course they won't actually GET that, but that is what they voted on and passed, and what they WANT.

I am sure the state government will step in and nullify their idiotic vote. Even the mayor is against it.

Right Jim with THREE TIMES THE POLICE. County police. More white cops, less black cops.

Reformed policing and disbanding, abolishing the former police dept. was a necessary step in order to do that.

NOTHING like what your MOE-ron (thanks, Reba) friends in Minneapolis are doing.

Yes, it looks like they did a LOT of things right!

Did I see where they (city council members) are ALL up for reelection this year?

Jim, they are doing some good things, things I support, but having three times the cops on the street is probably the major reason for the lower crime rates.

And none of them were psychotic enough to believe they needed NO police. They FIRST made this arrangement with the County Police.

Exactly...

[DesertBerean]

Camden's new system has worked exceptionally well, crime down by 21%, murders down by 75% and police abuse complaints down 95%.

The system which they arranged BEFORE they abolished their PD? Good. Has the Minnepolis officials done the same? Did they set up for alternative law enforcement BEFORE they voted to abolish the current one? Have they identifed funds to pay for their solution?

I heard about COPS this morning. I thought they went off the air four or five years ago. They were on for 32 years.

You can't show Cops in a good light...

It looks like Rep. Ilhan Omar has not just endorsed the idea of disbanding the city of Minneapolis' police department but seems to be onboard with Steve Fletcher's ideas about "reimagin[ing] what public safety means" which means "reinvest in cultural competency and mental health training, de-escalation and conflict resolution."

Yeah I think they did go off for a while a few years ago, then they brought it back. Probably will do it again in the future.

I like LivePD better though, they do follow through and tell you what happens after the clip ends. On COPS you never know what happens.
