Setting aside the actual subject at hand, I actually think this is a much better process. Like or dislike the result, it actually flowed through the proper political and judicial channels in order to achieve a result. This seems much safer than (what seems to me) a total disconnect between the political and police apparatus in some cities, where the cops just ignore what they’re told to do.

City Council enacts a law, Mayor (who cannot veto it because the council will override it) works with the police to push back, judge examines it and says that the court will have to evaluate the legality of the law in light of the consent decree on the police department.
