Minneapolis says it’s going to start pivoting away from police-based law enforcement.
Members of the Minneapolis City Council say they’re overruling Mayor Jacob Frey and WILL commit to dismantling their police department — meaning, get rid of it completely.
The stunning announcement was made Sunday, with nine out of thirteen members coming out in support of the idea, which gives them a majority that can’t be vetoed by Mayor Frey.
So, what does it mean exactly? Welp, the council members admit it won’t be an immediate change — but make no mistake, they say when the dust settles, Minneapolis will not have a traditional police department.
