Every now and again someone on CNN asks a really intelligent question. That doesn’t mean that they get an intelligent answer, but they do occasionally ask an intelligent question. Yesterday The Gateway Pundit<\/a> posted an article which provides an example of an intelligent question and a not-so-intelligent answer.<\/p>\n

The article reports the exchange:<\/p>\n

After nearly two weeks of violence, mayhem, and rioting in Minneapolis, the City Council on Sunday voted on their intent to disband<\/a> the police department.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The wild proposal would invest in \u201ccommunity-led public safety\u201d instead of police officers.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cWe are here today because George Floyd was killed by the Minneapolis Police Department. We are also here because, here in Minneapolis and in cities across the United States, it is clear that our existing system of policing and public safety isn\u2019t working for so many of our neighbors,\u201d Minneapolis City Council President Lisa Bender said in a written statement Sunday, obtained by the Appeal<\/a>. \u201cOur efforts at incremental reform have failed.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

I understand the frustration, but I doubt that the suggested cure of disbanding the police force will work.<\/p>\n

The article continues:<\/p>\n

On Monday Council President Lisa Bender joined Alisyn Camerota on CNN to discuss the plan.<\/strong><\/p>\n

When asked about who people will call if their home is broken into, who to call, Lisa Bender said this:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Lisa Bender: <\/span>\u201cYes, I mean, and I hear that loud and clear from several of my neighbors, and I know, and myself too, and I know that comes from a place of privilege.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

So expecting law and order in your community is a ‘place of privilege.” Wow. I have an idea. If you live in a neighborhood where law and order is not the norm, why don’t the people of the neighborhood begin to take action to make it the norm. I realize that some people are corrupt, but I believe that the majority of people want to be law-abiding citizens who live in peace. That is not a ‘place of privilege,’ that is the normal situation in a well-governed city, state, or country. I am not sure what reality Ms. Bender is living in, but it is a place I would not choose to live.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
