Not de-funded

Yesterday was election day in Minneapolis and there's good news - the city still has a police department. With 94% of the precincts reporting, about 56% of the votes went against replacing it with a department of "public safety."

Since the city protests after the killing of George Floyd (summer of 2020), the City Council has been pushing to de-fund the police. The plan was criticized for its vagueness and how much responsibility would have been given to the current mayor and council to organize the new department.
