Omar defends calls to dismantle Minneapolis Police Department, 'rotten to the root'

Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., on Sunday doubled down on her calls to dismantle theMinneapolis Police Department in the wake of George Floyd’s death, calling it “rotten to the root.”


Omar made the comments during a Sunday appearance on CNN’s “State of the Union.”

“A new way forward can’t be put in place if we have a department that is having a crisis of credibility, if we have a department that’s led by a chief who’s suited for racism, if we have a department that hasn’t solved half of the homicides,” Omar said. “And so, you can’t really form a department that is rotten to the root. What you can do is rebuild.”

"Defunding the Police" is about gradually reallocating resources and funding away from police and towards community-based models of safety, support and prevention. First responders to a crises in the community should be those who are best equipped to deal with said crises.

Save your breath 12:43, Republicans don't want to help black people. They've spent decades repressing them.

I completely disagree. It is the Democrats who are the oppressors. Go back. What party formed the KKK and enacted Jim Crow laws? After that the Dems kept making you promises, but never followed through on a single one that worked. They wanted to keep the blacks down to get their votes. This administration, although flawed, has done more to help blacks than any prior administration.

And so what. I’m not black and rely on one person to help me. No not republicans or any group. I help myself and don’t want the help of any party or you. You don’t get it though.

That TERRORIST would know all about rotten.

12:43 You should do you homework on which Party is oppressing blacks! But besides that, the Constitution entitles you to Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness, not Government help! Why do you think Republicans should be helping blacks? Republicans are trying to ensure everyone's freedom to help themselves. Dependence equals slavery!

If Omar and her family / followers wants to change the US then why did they migrate here? They should return to their Country of origin.
