The people in Minneapolis [and other locales] aren't going to be very pleased when they realize that disbanding/defunding the police department only paved the way for private security firms like the Pinkertons, Blackwater, Securitas, etc. The guys who work for those security firms/groups are often better trained than police officers. There will be no badge numbers to write down and no accountability whatsoever. These guys have a job to do and they don't give a shit about accountability, complaints, misbehavior or inappropriate use of force. They're typically more heavy-handed than police too. And guess who these private security guys will be protecting? If you're some limber-dicked dumbass in Minneapolis who wanted this shit to begin with, I have bad news for you: They're not protecting you. They're protecting the council people and politicians who wanted this shit to happen, and they'll be protecting the remaining businesses too most likely. They don't give a shit about laws or regulations. They get paid decent money because they have a track-record of not letting stupid shit happen on their watch and they're not going to let you ruin their reputation. You thought the cops were bad? Spent a lot of time whining about tear gas and pepper balls? Just wait until you get your skull cracked or your shit kicked in by a guy from Blackwater, whose identity you won't know because there's no name sewn on their uniforms and no badge numbers.
