Minneapolis Partners With NYU Law School to ‘Reimagine’ Policing

What could possibly go wrong, besides everything? Have these people learned nothing from the last few years?

Minneapolis teams up with NYU law school to ‘reimagine’ policing
Minneapolis is shelling out $1,000,000 to a New York University School of Law group to help it implement an “alternatives” to policing plan.
The Minneapolis City Council recently approved a partnership with NYU Law’s Reimagining Public Safety, a program of its Policing Project. The initiative wants to “incorporate non-police entities,” into public safety according to the organization.
It’s part of the city’s Safe and Thriving Communities plan.
The NYU group works with other cities, including Chicago and Denver, “to reimagine how government responds to community needs, ending policing as a one-size-fits-all answer to all problems and fostering real community health and safety,” according to its website.
The Safe and Thriving Communities report, adopted by the city council last summer, details preventative, responsive, and restorative programs the city should implement as alternatives to traditional policing. It includes the development of “individual response alternatives,” according to the report.
The College Fix reached out to the Policing Project to ask if the group had made any recommendations regarding policing “alternatives” to the city and how the plan would help reduce crime.
“We haven’t made any recommendations to the City of Minneapolis,” the Policing Project’s Director of Communications Joshua Manson told The Fix. “The City is bringing us on to begin implementation of the Safe and Thriving Communities report.”
“That report itself doesn’t include recommendations to reduce the size of the police force,” he said.
“The focus of our work is to find ways to incorporate non-police entities into the creation of public safety in order to give officers more time to engage with the community and focus on the investigation and deterrence of violent crime,” Manson said.

Yes, this will be a disaster. But you have to remember that stuff like this is not intended to make life better for “the community.” It’s intended to put big bucks into the pockets of fellow travelers.
While the community disintegrates, the people directly involved will be drinking champagne and congratulating themselves on helping to make the world a better place.
Every time a huckster begins his spiel by inviting me to “imagine” something, my hands automatically reach to cover my wallet and my Glock.
Reimagining policing is leftie code for defunding the police.
Dial 911 and leave message, the police have been defunded. Nobody is coming to help. You may file police report online for your insurance purposes.
Woke progressive lefties believe they can “reimagine” policing like reimagining the rides at disneyland.
Defunding the police makes as much sense as defunding the fire department to fight fires.
