The people of Minneapolis showed resilience in the face of potential destruction this week. An absolutely dangerous ballot measure seeking to abolish police officers in practically every scenario was voted down. This is as crime is at all time highs.

Defunding the police is not a popular idea across parties. Even the most ardent Democrats will tell you that an agenda pushing to make cities less safe has no basis in reality. I’m glad for the youth of Minneapolis that they will continue to have police officers protecting them.

Do you think it’s a good idea to abolish police departments? Do you think abolishing police departments resonates with voters?
