[NYPOST] This is the cop-free world that Black Lives Matter protesters are dreaming about.Whatcha might call an Emma Goldman world.
Social workers and religious leaders would replace officers on the street — and there would be no crimes such as stealing because the community workers would do such a good job helping everyone, fueled by money redirected from local police departments, advocates claim.
Well, of course. Like they do with the children entrusted to their care from abusive families.
“Right now, cops don’t just respond to violent crimes; they make needless traffic stops,
Drunk drivers, the people who drive 70 mph in residential zones, that sort of thing. What are a few brats run over in the great scheme of things? There's more where they came from.
arrest petty drug users,
... and dealers and importers...
and engage in a wide range of ‘broken windows policing’ behaviors that only serve to keep more people under the thumb of the criminal-justice system,” reads the Web site for the Minneapolis community coalition MPD150.
Broken Windows policing has been shown empirically to work, but if empirical evidence contradicts theory, guess which one goes out the door.
The group — whose name refers to the Minneapolis Police Department and the organization’s “150 year performance review’’ of the cop agency in 2017 — has been calling for the MPD to be dismantled.
So let's put Minneapolis up as a test case and see how it works. I'm sure as hell not moving there. Let us know what the population is in five years, if there's anybody still there alive.
Its efforts gained massive momentum after Minneapolis resident George Floyd’s death May 25, when the 46-year-old black man died in a shocking police-brutality case involving a white cop and three other officers.
