One of the advantages of living in the United States is the variety of governance found within the fifty states and thousands of municipalities. This allows experimentation among the States and Cities, the subsequent analyses of which can be employed to improve governance.
DonDiego looks forward to an experiment in which a city with a population approaching half-a-million citizens abolishes its police department. Perhaps once the burden imposed upon the population by the police is replaced by the benefits of enforcement of the law by social workers and victim advocates Minneapolis will, indeed, become a paradise.
Or, perhaps another outcome is more likely.
[Poor old DonDiego and teecher visited the Minneapolis/St. Paul metropolis several years ago in their now-completed quest to attend a home-field game in each NFL stadium. He was particularly impressed by the Light-Rail transportation encompassing St. Paul and Minneapolis. - from one downtown to another downtown to the Mall of America and to the airport.]
