Minneapolis City Council Members Vote to Disband Police – Then Three Council Members Hire Their Own Private Security for Protection

This is rich.
Earlier this month the Minneapolis City Council unanimously passed a resolution to replace the police with a ‘community-led public safety system.’

The radical left is pushing to “defund the police” following the death of George Floyd.

On Friday the Minneapolis City Council moved to defund the police force and establish a “holistic” public safety force in its place.
NPR reported:

The Minneapolis City Council on Friday unanimously approved a proposal to eliminate the city’s police department, marking the first step toward establishing a new “holistic” approach to public safety.

The move follows more than a month of national outrage and protests against police brutality in the wake of the killing of George Floyd, a Black man who died after an officer pressed his knee into his neck for more than eight minutes.

The City Council advanced a proposed ballot measure today asking voters to create a new Department of Community Safety and Violence Prevention. https://t.co/bsfjuY6SYY

But several of these same council members will still have their own security.

At least three Minneapolis council members have hired private security for their own protection.

Only the poor people will not be protected.
