    We already know what it looks like, since this was all beta tested in Portland.

    Only non-witches get due process.

      Sort of. The problem in PDX is that as hard as the city tries, they cannot recruit sufficient numbers of new candidates.
      It wouldn't be such a bad job, actually. City council hates you, most progressives hate you, street people hate you, your dog will hate you, wife runs away. But other than that. . . nice uniform, in a ninny sort of way.

            I always cringe when somebody uses the word "community". It's almost (but not quite) as bad as "ally".

                        In utopia...one of them wakes up to find a burglar (obviously white) in their house (obviously without a door or locks) taking all of their stuff (obviously quinoa and Birkenstock’s), so they decide to call the police (a chicken in the backyard they’ve named Mrs. Justice) and in no surprise to anyone, the chicken doesn’t help.

                          Those now calling for defunding police "should demonstrate by example by getting together and offering zip codes and then declaring themselves a police-free zone," black economic empowerment advocate and community activist Robert Woodson told Just the News. "And then watch how all the criminals will line up to go there."

                            I don't think I'll ever see in my life a popular and high-status idea any dumber or more simply disprovable by basic statistics, than this idea that white cops murdering innocent black people is among our most pressing social issues. That we need to take measures as drastic as getting rid of police altogether in order to solve it.

                            That said, I'm less worried about dissolving police departments than I am about all the socialism that the left will attempt to smuggle in along with their solutions to the problem of white cops murdering innocent black people.

                                Yes, it has. If this were not an election year we would be seeing a fuss, but not nearly what we have seen. It's an effort to drive black voters to the polls.

                                    The republican position on this will eventually be simply denial.

                                    This can easily be backed-up by statistics.

                                    That doesn't matter, it will be a nazi racist position.

                                      Camden is being touted by CNN as having disbanded its police force. The fine print is a new one was created.

                                      The really fine printin Wikipedia is that it doubled in size.

                                          In the event none of the suburbs ever joined, so it still just polices the city.

                                          I think the move cut the average pay/benefits package by half.

                                          Only non-witches get due process.
