Minneapolis City Council Members Vow To Dismantle Police Department

The Minneapolis City Council pledged to dismantle the police department and create a new public safety model. This decision follows intense criticism of the police after George Floyd's death, which sparked global protests against racial inequality and police brutality. Mayor Jacob Frey, who opposes defunding the police, was booed at a rally. He plans to work on police reform but faces potential veto challenges. Changing the city's charter to dismantle the police requires a voter referendum.
