We’ve already seen some local Democrats in various states calling for police departments to be defunded or at least received less funding.
Now the rallying cry is getting to the congressional level, as evidenced by Rep. Ilhan Omar’s tweet about Minneapolis:
The Minneapolis Police Department has proven themselves beyond reform.
It’s time to disband them and reimagine public safety in Minneapolis.
Thank you to @MplsWard3 for your leadership on this! https://t.co/AQfHM5M6eR

This might shock Rep. Omar, but there are many on the right side of the aisle who would highly encourage her to pursue that goal.
Just when I feel like the "blue wave" could actually be a possibility, Ilhan Omar comes through in the clutch with this insane "disband the police" plan!
Democrat states should all adopt this and see how voters react! https://t.co/kcWwtLD3CO

"Disband the police" is a great idea! I hope all Democrats campaign on it. https://t.co/y6ynQcTdAZ

If Biden adopted "Abolish The Police" as a campaign promise then Trump could stop campaigning now and still win 538 electoral votes in November https://t.co/m9JEXaKCLV

Shh, don’t tell her!
Ilhan Omar, elected Democrat member of Congress calls to "disband the police department" in Minneapolis. Apparently this is not just a fringe leftist idea that only exists in Twitter. https://t.co/S8oBj7RXrt pic.twitter.com/6vu0o5QOLO

Not surprised at all. This is the same lady who thinks Al-Qaeda and Hezbollah are a laughing matter. https://t.co/vdLqgSU2CJ
