It is so new that I know very little about it. I do know that it will engage the community in how best to provide public safety. The general idea is to have Community Safety personal out on the street walking and talking with citizens and getting their input on how to actually provide safety instead of harassing people and writing minor traffic tickets.
Looking forward to hearing more about this novel approach.
Will the Community Safety personnel be armed, I wonder?
The criminals will be!

The city council had decide that the entire Minneapolis police force was toxic and could not be saved by piecemeal measures.

(mentally subnormal). Naturally, one would never describe anyone, especially children, in those terms these days.
ESN (educationally subnormal) was another, no doubt equally unacceptable today.
Incidentally, that morphed over time into 'Educational Special Needs' and then into the more widely embracing 'Special Needs'.
We're good at calling a spade a spade in this country - not!

Well, I can see I'm wasting my time.Rather ironic when you consider that under most other circumstances the posters here are usually quite liberal. Now, however, when it comes to blacks being openly murdered by U.S. cops, you are suddenly ultra-conservative. One might say even white supremacists ?

Anyway, while your here, you told me earlier that I supported the murder of black people because I said BLM is not about racism and equality, it's about the hard left rioting in the streets, damaging public property and burning peoples possessions. An anarchist and ideological movement, driven by organisations such as Antifa who have an agenda very different from peaceful anti-racism protests.
Just for the record, I agree that George Floyd was murdered by the police and I also support the narrative that racism was behind it. I do not, however, legitimise messages delivered through violent crime, vandalism and killing innocent people (like the retired, black policeman who was murdered defending his shop from looters). If you think these riots and so called "protests" are in the name of fighting the social injustice of racism, then going to war against white people, the police and businesses is hardly giving the right message is it.
