In secretly obtained recordings of a training session for far-left activists held Saturday in Nashville, participants said communities would be safer without any police at all.
During a part of the training hosted by Katia Carillo, who runs a small upstart community group called Conmigo, Carillo asked the trainees what their perfect utopian communities would look like.
“To start off, and so that we can kind of get to know each other a little bit more, I put this question up here,” said Carillo. “‘What does safety mean to you?'” Because safety can mean a lot of different things to a lot of different people. So I want you to just close your eyes for a second and think about the present world. Zoom in a little closer and think about the perfect state. Zoom in even a little bit closer and think about the perfect community. And what does that safe, beautiful, marvelous community look like? What’s around you, who are the people, what are the resources that you have? And I want us to come back to this question. Now you can open your eyes. What does safety mean to you?”
Almost immediately, a member of the audience replied, “no cops.”
Other “safety” measures listed by the members of the group included a far-left litany of wish list items, including:
- Everyone has housing
- No violence
- Friendship
- Comfort
- Accessibility
- More art
- Rest
- Fun sex
- Trust
- Financial security
- Common land
- Healthcare for everybody
- No guns
The far-left activists are planning to disrupt August’s special session of the legislature, called by Gov. Bill Lee (R) to address gun control.
As reported by The Tennessee Star, the training was hosted by Tennessee Advocates for Planned Parenthood, the far-left activist arm of the pro-abortion non-profit Planned Parenthood.
The agitators have said that they plan to be arrested, and are plotting to disable U.S. Customs and Immigration Enforcement (ICE) vehicles at a protest outside of ICE’s Nashville office.
They also plan to have armed “security,” and to harass Republican lawmakers.

???? Really NO
What shallow thinking person is this coming from?
Arm up.
Its coming
Sometimes people who refuse to recognize reality need an awakening. They should disband their police force and see what their life is like in one year or less.
In a warped sort of way they are ‘correct’ (ain’t never gonna be right) – what they don’t tell you is that it WILL be ‘safer’ – for criminals. With no coppers around and disarmed Citizens they can ply their trade with no fear.
I’d like to see a leftist protester bump or hit a legislator and wind up in a good scuffle with armed police intervention and a protester kissing the floor in silver colored bracelets.
Right idea, except REMOVE THEM. As long as they exist WE WILL NEVER BE SAFE.
