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.

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.
