Developing: Veto proof Minnesota council moves to disband police department
In the wake of the George Floyd shooting and murder, the Minneapolis MN City Council “vowed” to disband the police department permanently
“We’re here because we hear you. We are here today because George Floyd was killed by the Minneapolis Police. We are here because here in Minneapolis and in cities across the United States it is clear that our existing system of policing and public safety is not keeping our communities safe. Our efforts at incremental reform have failed. Period.”
— Minneapolis City Council President Lisa Bender
