    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.
