The Minneapolis City Council unanimously on Friday passed a veto-proof resolution to pursue replacing its police department with a “community-led public safety system.”
“The murder of George Floyd on May 25, 2020, by Minneapolis police officers is a tragedy that shows that no amount of reforms will prevent lethal violence and abuse by some members of the Police Department against members of our community, especially Black people and people of color,” the five city council members wrote in a resolution, reported Reuters.
