    Unsurprising... Idiots! Guess I'll have to find an alternate route for all my business travel to Winnipeg (whenever that starts up again).

    Unh huh, I have a mental picture of how that's going to work out. Before starting though they need to build a tall fence around the city to keep all the folks out that want to enjoy the new freedom from police oppression.

    Well, the Police Chief is appointed by the City Council and accountable to them. The sheriff is elected and not accountable to the city for anything unless is is spelled out in the contract or mou for services.

    So they would go from not being able to control their Police Chief ( who they could fire and replace) to giving a third party the autonomy to do as they please within the framework of a business agreement.

    But, they could thump their leftist chests and say “we got rid of the police”. what a bunch of morons.

    Of course diverting the funds to social programs would be their first choice but its hard to believe anyone with an IQ of 30 or more could see that as anything but chaos. I guess I underestimated the high quality of Minneapolis citizens. After all, they have imported thousands of aliens to soothe their white guilt

    City population is 425,000. The entire population of Wyoming is about 580,000. No police will be an interesting situation. I bet though that much of the police problem is the same as any government agency with a civil service position and unions. You can't fire the bad ones without a ton of a hassle, the union fights you on every step, you end up just moving the bad ones around to a different spot and they still do a crummy job. I have worked in a civil service position when I was young. You bust your butt and do a good job and you end up getting the hardest job, the slacker gets move to an easy job, they can't fire the slacker and you both make the same pay.

    In some ways that would be better... there are way too many little small town cops that aren't exactly thoughtful, or wise that are just revenue sources.
