Veto-Proof Majority of Minneapolis City Council Members Plan on Disbanding Police Department

It think it's good policy, but a horrible salesjob. And no, I don't have a better slogan to put on a sign. An oversimplified slogan for a concept that needs explanation is a gift to Trump. It's a shock headline for a country that barely reads. It's so easily manipulated that I almost think it's a plant to cast proponents as extremists.

You are gradually reallocating money away from the police, and shifting that money into specialized responders. You lose independents and sympathizers by leading with "Abolish the police!" I'm going to bed tonight sick to my stomach turning that you are giving viability to Trump's "Law and Order" play.
