Who's talking about defunding? Last night, the city council agreed to disband. If I'm wrong, then please, educate me.
"Defund" or "disband" mean the same thing. It does not mean, as your comment implies, that Minneapolis will be an unpoliced city. It typically means a new police organization will be created. No one is suggesting that this move means there will be no police. Not sure where that came from.
Defund means to divert money into other agencies. Disband means cease to exist. Far from the same thing. It could mean what I imply, we simply don't know yet. Or maybe they do know now, as I haven't checked the news in a while. It came from people shouting they don't want police in their city anymore, followed by said disbanding of the MPD, with them stating it was too late for reform.
Still not accurate. Disband literally means to disband the current organization. Defund is part of that process. Your stated implication that Minneapolis will not be safe for a show because there is not a police force is incorrect.
It’s worth reading what the council actually said. No one, save for some corners of politics and politicians who would rather blow a dog whistle than actually think this through, is suggesting that there will simply be no police.

As long as they play St. Paul and not Mpls. Not sure I'd want to visit an unpoliced city. I guess my last show at First Ave was actually my last show at First Ave.
