A battle is brewing between the mayor and City Council.

LINK ]Fox News
quote:

“We're ready to dig in and enact more community-led, public safety strategies on behalf of our city. But, I do not support abolishing the Minneapolis Police Department."

quote:

Ellison, the son of state Attorney General Keith Ellison, has openly declared his support for Antifa, the left-wing group that President Trump has sought to designate as a terrorist organization.

quote:

Ellison, for his part, promised that the council would "dismantle" the department.

Dude knows he will have to eat the shite sandwich when the inevitable happens.

I thought a prior article described their vote as "veto proof".

The mayor is a pussy, but man he looks like years have been taken off of his life and I almost ALMOST feel sorry for him.

There hasn’t been an official vote yet.

Good God, people. Please tell me that you don’t vote.

The Mayor knows what the city council has voted to do is unsustainable. And, his political future is tied those fools on the city council. I don't blame him.

They’re all getting together as we speak.

Mayor is sharing stats, like “only 20% of Americans favor reductions in police forces.”

I’m hoping this ends up looking like a Ukrainian legislative brawl.

Mayor is not “progressive” enough. Get with the group think or be gone.

I honestly wish they would have just done it. Now they’ll complain about not getting what they want. Just give it to them so we can show everyone how fricking stupid of an idea it is.
