The headline is accurate, but perhaps a bit misleading. A synopsis: The Minneapolis Police Department has had a long string of scandals, and gradual reform doesn't seem to be working. A majority of the city council seem to have decided to rebuild/replace the department in its entirety. This seems pretty reasonable. It's not some wild eyed anarcho-libertarian plan to try and build a society without coercive force (perhaps sadly, if you lean that way...); it's just an announcement that a dysfunctional government department is going to be reorganised slightly more thoroughly than was previously planned.
