So they've went and done it.

I, of course, have major doubts that this is anything but a cosmetic change. But on the off chance it isn't...this is a fairly momentous decision.

Certainly enough scope to warrant its own thread separate from "I Cant Breathe II: Now We're Shitposing".

Decisions such as this should not be made in the heat of the moment.

It won't be long before they realize what a terrible decision this really is.

It'll be fine if this a re-branding or this is really just their "intent" and they will change their mind down the road once the mob quiets down.

If they actually get rid of police it'll be a disaster.

Of course they will still have police.

Just not their current police.

it's in line with the fact that all they do is cry out for change, but yet they couldn't tell you what changes need to be made.

Generally speaking if you're upper-middle class or above this will probably be better. Your private army wont bust you up for DUI or anything, they wouldn't fuck with their customers like that.

They'll use drones, helicopters, armoured cars and very notably that cell phone jamming technology they tried out on the Manhattan Bridge a earlier this week. Nobody to stop them either, if the mercenary is breaking the law who are you going to call? The un-armed feminist action patrol?

What is your reaction if they actually do get rid of the police. Which is now at least a realistic possiblity.

If they just get rid of police unions, it's a great start.

That's a violation of the right to free assembly any way you slice it.

The RNC is digging out all the David Dinkins-era video as we speak. They will portray the broken down NYC and tell all the suburbanites that it's coming to their region in a Biden administration.

How is this going to work with property insurance? Why wouldn't State Farm triple the theft portion of their auto premiums within the city borders upon this news getting passed?

Can we add all public sector unions, like Fire and teachers and SEIU as well?

Capitulate to our demands or we won't support you in the next Democratic primary.... why do only the white neighborhoods have plowed side streets and decent computer equipment in the schools?

I think that very very soon, we're going to see the cops very publicly bust some extremely harrowing sex crimes. PMC white women in suburbs and fashionable big cities are the heart of the Democrats now, and some good old carceral feminism will get all of them back on the side of law and order once the heat from murdering a black man dies down. If Bernie 2020 taught me anything, it's that just when you think you've turned the corner, you run face-first into another wall.

Oh think beyond auto theft, think about complete lack of traffic law enforcement.

Well yeah, I was trying to keep the example simple.

That's a good call.

RR hating on unions.

Is community led public safety what we saw in Little Village, Cicero and Bridgeport this week?

Never really works out that way, does it? Scott Walker was out to bust all the public-sector unions except for police and fire. Makes sense, teachers can't shoot you (though in Wisconsin, you are taking your chances...).

Still will be police.

Supposedly the model for this is Camden, NJ.

I posted this in the wrong thread already, but I'll say it in here.

Camden NJ's population has plummeted since their "reform" and money has basically departed the area entirely.

Suburbs win again!
