that's the world lisa bender is calling for.y people watching cnn this morning as they got dressed agreed with lisa bender? sure, that sounds reasonable, calling the police during a break-in definitely qualifies as racism. it's hard to believe, even among cnn's audience, that very many people thought that. it's so obviously nuts. on the other hand, it doesn't really matter at this point what the public thinks about anything. in the case of this idea, many democratic leaders are already sold on it. here's former congressman keith ellison on msnbc over the weekend. keep in mind as you watch him speak that ellison is now the chief law enforcement officer in minnesota. he's the attorney general. ellison argues here that it's wrong for police to bring guns to domestic violence calls. seriously. >> we send out people with guns, and they are there to use deadly force no matter what the problem may be. if the problem is sexual assault, we send somebody with a gun. if the problem is domestic violence, we send somebody with a gun. if the

let's ask council president lisa bender here tonight. ms. bender, thank you, for joining us on "prime time." >> thank you for having me. >> all right. let's get the messaging clear here. are you really calling for the disbanding of the police department? meaning it goes away? >> well, yesterday nine city councilmembers stood together with our community and pledged to rethink public safety in our community. and to acknowledge that the current minneapolis police department is not working to keep our community safe. and really what we pledged was to start a year long conversation with minneapolis residents to help us reimagine what public safety looks like as we make those short term fixes that are so clearly needed in our department. >> better, smarter, safer, those are things that are all clearly needed. the controversial part comes in the, you can't just get rid of it right now. you wouldn't have anything. and i heard you asked about this. what happens if somebody comes in the middle of the night and i call. and you answered the question tha

joining us now is minneapolis city council president, lisa bender. miss bender, we're so happy to have you this morning, because the move by the city council certainly got a lot of people's attention last night and we're so happy to have you clarify this. so what are you trying to do? are you hoping by dismantling the minneapolis police department that you will be getting rid of the police department? >> i think in minneapolis, watching george floyd's death, and the four -- the actions of the four police officers that were involved has been a huge wake-up call for so many in minneapolis to see what many already knew, which is that our police department is not keeping every member of our community safe. and so i think step one for us is to tell the truth. nine council members from communities all across the city of all different backgrounds, standing together to tell the truth and say, this system is isn't working for too many of our neighbors for too long, our reform efforts have failed and we have done many, many attempts at reform and new leadershi

president bender thank you very much for being with us live tonight. i appreciate you making the time. >> thank you, so much for having me. >> so, minneapolis is obviously got the eyes of the nation upon it now because of what has happened over these past two weeks and what this killing revealed to the country about the minneapolis police department. as the country now looks at you, and your colleagues on the city council saying you want to end policing in minneapolis as we know it. that you want to essentially disband the city police department, what should the country understand what that means in practical terms? >> i think the most important thing to understand is that this is not the first time that our community has taken to the streets to demand justice. jamar clark was killed by minneapolis police. and we instituted a whole series of reforms. we got a new police chief, new leadership, the community has been through a lot of watching us make promises and make changes and then to see george floyd killed in that horrific way for those almost nine

the minneapolis city council president lisa bender and the city council president andrea jenkins.a, you are pledging to dismantle the minneapolis police department. what exactly does that mean and why do you think it's past the point of engaging in significant reforms? >> wolf, over the last two weeks we've seen thousands of people in minneapolis take to the streets and raise their voices for change telling us that incremental reform has not worked to keep us safe and we've seen institutions for the universities of minnesota and our parks and schools and major businesses and art institutions ending the relationship with our police department. so it is clear that we need to make major shifts both in the short term and that our community is ready to reimagine public safety from the ground up to think holistically and to make sure every single member of our community is safe. >> as you know, andry a the former vice president joe biden says he doesn't believe police should be defunded or dismantled. he supports significant reforms. he supports funding for other community programs. how

this is minneapolis, the council president lisa bender. she says yes, we are going to dismantle the minneapolis police department and replace it with a transformative new model of public safety. in los angeles, the mayor said he would like to cut his budget for police by $150 million, but some researchers say that after these widely seen awful videos of the police brutality surface, the pullback in policing that tends to follows as kirby involvement is met with a spike in violent crime so the pullback in the police as we saw in ferguson after the death of michael brown in baltimore come after freddy gray died in police custody, the lack of the pullback connectivity leads to an increase in crime and homicide. still, as tensions run high across the country, videos like this add fuel to the antipolice sentiment and atlanta, this led to charges for these six officers, two of them have been fired. then there is this footage of an officer pushing a man in the streets of buffalo. and it ended like that. of course, that goes viral. it is horrifyin
