Minneapolis voters on Tuesday rejected a ballot measure that called to replace the city’s police department with a Department of Public Safety.

The measure was seen by some as the radical change necessary in the city where George Floyd was killed by a police officer in 2020, sparking a wave of violent riots and peaceful protests nationwide.
