Anyone else drinking themselves to sleep tonight?
45% supporting getting rid of the cops isn't nothing even if you walk away with nothing. Wild that even has double digit support tbh
It wasn't getting rid of cops and it even said on the ballot "which could include licensed peace officers (police officers), if necessary". Don't get me wrong, it would have been a major and important reform, but given that Minneapolis was the center of a global movement because our pigs can't stop murdering people and people still voted no is pretty depressing.
Yeah it sucks that it didn't pass, but I am atleast comforted that it's still so popular. I'm curious how it would have turned out if this vote was held a year ago.
True, but it isn't actually passing rent control. All this does is allows the city to pass rent control, which seems less likely with the way the council is going.
I can't believe Frey is going to be remain. Did he get the coveted "moderate republican" vote? I thought everyone hated him.

- City council is getting more conservative
- Incumbent mayor, who sucks, is in a good position
- Charter amendment 1, which increases the mayors power, looks likely to pass. This will shift power to the whiter and wealthier parts of the city that vote more.
- Charter amendment 2, which would have replaced the police department with a department of public safety, failed.
I don't even understand the 10 billion cops thing. Mexico has really heavily militarized police rolling around and look how that is turning out....
It only becomes "good" when you go full Pinochet and declare a curfew for like, a decade and give the police complete impunity and then at the point what the fuck is the point of calling yourself "land of the free"
of course the essence here is that Pinochet style authoritarianism would only extend to poor whites and ESPECIALLY brown people, but still literally why do people want shit like this
you can't beat the contradictions of capitalism with a club

It's just a matter of time before another police station burns.
