Minneapolis residents to vote on ballot measure to replace police department.

Critics of the Minneapolis measure, however, said it has too many unknowns.

Passage would not"abolish" the police or lead to the firings of any officers, as critics have claimed, Bates said. "This constant going back to the chief is meant to be a distraction because we should not be talking about one man when we're talking about a systemic failure," Cunningham said.

Minneapolis Police Chief Medaria Arradondo leaves the Hennepin County Government Center in Minneapolis on April 5.Like Cunningham, Fletcher believes residents"cannot make structural decisions" about the city based on individual people.

I were going there but now I wonder if they have a 'friendship circle' or owt in place of the Bizzies it'll be as nice for me and the lady wife.

Future is bright

janellefiona Minneapolis has long been abandon by its citizens, it’s leadership and according to Omar, their police. If residents think anything but structured and specific law & order will bring down the 116% rise in murders & 30% rise in violent crimes, they’re mistaken. But hey, good luck.

janellefiona How will that work

janellefiona We deserve something more inclusive and less fraternity.

janellefiona …then watch the mass exodus…

janellefiona That city deserves high crime cuz of having no actual police officers

Love this. Let it all burn to the ground. I can’t wait to buy up real estate for pennies on the dollar.

This generation will be judged by history as unprogressive, meek and selfish. Unwilling to disrupt its legacy of self comfort. This, the only time in history, a small population successfully hoarded the earth’s wealth and resources to avoid discomfort. China is poised to takeover

I don't understand how it's gonna work, what's the alternative to police? How will they deal with hard crime without a police force?

Really?! What a stupid idea!!

Yeah bring on the “Social Workers” so they can diffuse n deescalate…
