Twitter thread by a Minneapolis city council member about how they tried to do police reform. He talks about wanting to do changes slowly but was met with resistance by police, including the police delaying responses to call from areas where the members voted against police interests. He is now talking about disbanding the police altogether and starting over.

- pnw_hazor 6y agoIf this is what it takes it must be done. With today's availability of real-time policing metrics it should be clear if police are deliberately thwarting reform initiatives or retaliating. Police officers have taken an oath to uphold state and federal constitutions and local laws. If they cannot live up to that commitment they need to go.
