how's that?

how's that?

It's a factless opinion the cause mentioned in the article for where they stand today. Stands out pretty boldly to me but I'm not anti police.

Slime ball festivities for the week.

A lot of people do that with pull cords, lamp switches etc. and have been for decades Not as a racial statement, but just because they've seen too many westerns. It's only within the last year or two that it suddenly became a hate symbol. Same goes for the confederate flag. What I wonder is why it wasn't noticed immediately, since everybody is looking for reasons to be offended these days.

Minneapolis City Council approves measure to abolish police force

The vote to abolish the police force Friday will require amending the city’s charter. A draft amendment that was posted online suggests replacing the force with a “Department of Community Safety and Violence Prevention.”

The suggested department would consist of peace officers and ensure public safety through “a holistic, public health-oriented approach.”
