I am supporting the resolution because we really need to change how we approach public safety in our city, we need accountability, we need a broader range of approaches other than traditional policing, and 20,000 Minneapolis City residents signed the petition to put it on the ballot.

Nobody is proposing to reduce our investment in public safety, we are proposing to change the way that we make those investments, and ultimately I think in the end, investing more in public safety than we ever have.

I think a lot of people are just recognizing that we cannot be the city that killed George Floyd and didn’t grow or change.
