The Minneapolis City Council is preparing a measure that would allow voters to replace the city's police department with a community-focused safety initiative, according to local reports.

The Minneapolis Policy and Government Oversight Committee, which is comprised of all 13 Minneapolis City Council members, approved the measure proposed by the advocacy group Yes 4 Minneapolis Committee in an 11-2 vote that will now be passed along to the general council for a vote, according to Fox 9 Minneapolis.

The plan would include "public health tools" such as mental health responders, substance abuse specialists, violence interrupters and violence prevention professionals.

Great idea. All these people that you think are white supremacists and abusive let’s set them loose on society unemployed with no one to stop them from doing bad things.

Rest assured residents of Minneapolis.. those city council members most likely live in gated communities and have expensive security. So their actions won't affect them at all. Just the residents.

Wait until all insurance lenders pull out of Minneapolis. They will change their tune.
