So while the Heir joins in on calling for reforms, disbanding the cops is not the answer.  The Heir concedes that the Minneapolis city council's decision to disband the cops is not subject to opinions of people who live outside the city, he sees this as Guy Fawkes Mask Wearer victory.  They'll see that as a catapult to disbanding all cops everywhere, all over the globe.  These Ed Snowdens lie in wait, looking for the right moment to override the democratic process made by the people and for the people.  The Heir looks at the city of Three River Junction in the north of Bachelor Blue State, and they've made policing work.  The police leaders took a knee in their press conference, but the Heir's pretty sure the Ed Snowdens will want to disband even good departments, including the one at Three River Junction, over the objections of city residents.  He expects Marco's Grandmother to point out that police unions are still very powerful, but the Heir sees the anti-cop forces more powerful still.  He envisions a whole series of unintended consequences in any city that's abolished its police force, including a Wild West local culture, and going back to the bad ole days of 1970's New York.  Social workers are all fine and well, but if you're getting cut off by an aggressive driver tailgating you and passing you over a double yellow line, you're not going to have a social worker pull that person over and ask, "Tell me about your feelings."  The Heir doesn't think that's going to work.  #KeepTheCops
