Minneapolis City Council is in the Grip of Mental Illness
The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?
Jeremiah 17:9
"Cities like Los Angeles, New York, Minneapolis and others have already promised to reduce funding for law enforcement or to cut it entirely. Calls are also being made to disband police stations altogether.
Minneapolis city officials voted to “abolish” their police department. MPD150 is a community advocacy organization in Minneapolis that is leading the way to eliminate law enforcement in their city. They have published a list of people who they believe will be able to do the job of the police once they are disbanded. Notice what they say:

“The people who respond to crises in our communityThis is based on the assumption that every cop is bad, not just a few. And instead of coming up with new procedures, better training and more accountability, the solution is to eliminate the police force altogether. Defund them and replace them with “social workers.” Why? Because they believe that the police is responsible for all the crime. MPD150 continues saying:
should be the people who are best-equipped to deal with those crises. Rather than strangers armed with guns (police officers), who very likely do not live in the neighborhoods they’re patrolling, we want to create space for more mental health service providers, social workers, victim/survivor advocates, religious leaders, neighbors and friends – all of the people who really make up the fabric of a community – to look out for one another.”
“Cops don’t prevent crime; they cause it, through the ongoing, violent disruption of our communities.”The truth is that the overwhelming majority of crimes committed are not being carried out by bad cops but by ordinary citizens. So the idea is that if we get rid of the police, then murder, drug use, gangs, mass shootings, terrorism, hatred, domestic violence, rape, prostitution, sex trafficking, theft, kidnapping, assault & battery and other crimes will magically disappear."
