'Defund the police': Alderman, activists call for Chicago to cut CPD funding

[Counselor706]

CHICAGO (WLS) -- Calls for police reform are growing after the death of George Floyd sparked protests in Chicago and across the country.

The push to cut police funding and shift resources to community-based services is gaining momentum. On Sunday, a majority of the Minneapolis City Council vowed to disband the city's police department.

Northwest Side Ald. Rossana Rodriguez Sanchez said she's in favor of defunding the Chicago Police Department.

"We have to consider how much money are we willing to continue to spend in an institution that isn't definitely not working for most of us," she said. "I think it is a beautiful time to imagine what is possible."

If Minneapolis and Chicago can reduce or eventually completely remove law enforcement it would be AWESOME.

These are already horribly run cities by Democrats so they should go ALL THE WAY with their idiocy.

Hoping it happens but someone with a brain will step in to ruin it.
