Oh Lord almighty. A few council members in Minneapolis speak some words for show and people are taking this seriously?? The city charter commission is responsible for approving this "defund the police" measure and they're never ever ever gonna do it. It's an unelected body, appointed by the Chief Judge of Hennepin County (not even the city). Yeah, Mayor Frey signed a budget that shifted $8 million from the police to mental health crisis response teams, crime prevention programs, etc. The 2020 police budget was $193 million. "Defund the police", huh -- a budget cut of less than 10% total (4% in the shift noted above). I hate the lack of actual facts in this discussion. It's like saying I'm on a hunger strike 'cause I stopped eating Oreos.
