The Minneapolis City Council on Friday unanimously passed a resolution to replace the city's police department with a community-led public safety system. The Minneapolis vote was cast as New York City Council pushed to cut $1billion from the NYPD’s budget. The Minneapolis Police Department is to be disbanded and replaced with a community-led public safety system, the city council voted Friday. 'Today's unanimous City Council resolution advances our shared commitment to transformative change in how Minneapolis approaches public safety so that every member of our community can be truly safe,' said City Council President Lisa Bender. 'American democracy is an experiment, each generation has an opportunity to move this experiment forward, toward living out the true meaning of its creed,' said City Council Vice President Andrea Jenkins.
