@Allamanda "disbanding the entire force there." Why is this call being made NOW when transparency in department is MOST needed? Hmmm. Why? I will reask the question, where is the information that states majority of constituents support this idea? Government is supposed to be "we the people", where are the "people" in this discussion and decision making process? Or are we supposed to believe the narrative that one protest in which Mayor of Minneapolis is booed for not supporting disbanding is representative of the People's voice?

Please support this statement with facts "polices' impunity in targeting and killing black people." And if you can prove this statement to be true , calls to disband the police make me believe the true intentions of those calling for it at this point in time are advocating for obfuscation of the true extent of the problem and true nature of what has occurred. If it is racism LET IT BE KNOWN. If it is something else, LET IT BE KNOWN.

Additionally I treated protestors unfairly in my opening sentence. There were MANY protesting with masks.

@Allamanda Here is our modern day plutocratic control shining clearly for the world to see "The council members who took part in the announcement included Cam Gordon, Steve Fletcher, Phillipe Cunningham, Jeremiah Ellison, Andrea Jenkins, Alondra Cano, Lisa Bender and Jeremy Schroeder. The announcement comes after various entities such as the University of Minnesota, Minneapolis Public Schools, First Avenue, and others decided to end or limit their relationship with the police department." (Said of "A veto-proof majority of Minneapolis City Council members announced Sunday during a rally at Powderhorn Park that they are planning to disband the police department." ) Unless you can show me where the majority of constituents support this idea in scientifically collected data, I will not believe the actions of the few to be an honest representation of the People's will.

@Allamanda "no doubt you have six more tangents in store." Probably MORE. Don't underestimate.

I didn't know you were supportive of plutocratic aims. Thanks for clearing that up.

You said "again" please refer me to the first time you cited dismantling of police as being the will of the people.

@Allamanda Go for it! I will continue to question whether it's the will of the people irregardless. Hopefully more people will too.

@Allamanda "In the ongoing debate over policing in Minneapolis, it’s been difficult to get a pulse on public sentiment. Thanks to a new citywide survey, that’s no longer the case....Among respondents of color, 65% supported adding 250 officers." [m.startribune.com]

@Allamanda And an additional tangent. "Dr. Deborah Birx, President Trump’s coronavirus response coordinator, warned the nation’s governors on a conference call that 70 coronavirus testing sites had been destroyed amid widespread protests in the wake of the death of George Floyd." [yahoo.com] This article hasn't even mentioned the destruction of pharmacies or other health facilities.

@Allamanda you know it!
