The Minneapolis City Council has passed a measure to dismantle the city’s police department and replace it with what Council President Lisa Bender calls “a transformative new model of public safety.†This is supposed to better protect people in the aftermath of the murder of George Floyd by a now-former Minneapolis police officer.
CNN anchor Alisyn Camerota asked Bender, “Do you understand that the word dismantle, or police-free, also makes some people nervous? … What if in the middle of [the] night my home is broken into? Who do I call?â€
Bender equivocated: “I mean, I hear that loud and clear from a lot of my neighbors … and I know that that comes from a place of privilege. Because for those of us for whom the system is working, I think we need to step back and imagine what it would feel like to already live in that reality where calling the police may mean more harm is done.â€
