At the end of June: Minneapolis City Council votes unanimously for proposal that could replace Police Department

Opting to reimagine police through a "restorative justice approach"

The council voted unanimously to advance a proposal that would create a new Department of Community Safety and Violence Prevention. Within that, the city could create a division that includes “licensed peace officers,” though it would not be required to do so.

The city would need to change its charter to implement its proposal, which requires a citywide vote. Council members are using an unconventional, expedited process as they seek to get the measure on the November ballot.

The Minneapolis charter says the city must have a police department and City Council must “fund a police force of at least 0.0017 employees per resident, and provide for those employees’ compensation.”

Based on the latest census data, that amounts to roughly 730 police employees. The department had 892 sworn officers and 175 non-sworn employees at the start of June.

The proposed new agency would be led by someone with “non-law enforcement experience in community safety services, including but not limited to public health and/or restorative justice approaches.”

Basically it would run by these people or other communists like them.

Maybe rape victims would have to meet their rapist and discuss over coffee what happened and why /s

Restorative justice is an approach to justice in which one of the responses to a crime is to organize a meeting between the victim and the offender, sometimes with representatives of the wider community. The goal is for them to share their experience of what happened, to discuss who was harmed by the crime and how, and to create a consensus for what the offender can do to repair the harm from the offense. This may include a payment of money given from the offender to the victim, apologies and other amends, and other actions to compensate those affected and to prevent the offender from causing future harm. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Restorative_justice

In other words, replace equal justice under the law, replace the rule of law, with 'community organizing' (communists) who will sit down and discuss each case with the community and those involved. KUMBA-fucking-YA

However by early Sept. the shine was wearing off that shit-turd idea and the Minneapolis city council floundered:

Minneapolis City Council members realize police are important, pull back efforts to abolish department

And that brings us here after only a week. After vowing to abolish police, Minneapolis City Council demands to know 'Where are the police?' as violence plagues the city. These clowns need to be removed, voted out ASAP https://www.theblaze.com/news/minneapolis-where-are-the-police (source article used in OP Zerohedge)

EDIT: Here's an example of what to expect from the Black Communists Matter brand of restorative justice
