Minneapolis residents overwhelmingly rejected a measure to replace the city’s police department with a public safety force on Tuesday.
“I like the police. We need the police,” Minneapolis resident Wynn Wever, who only voted to oppose the measure, told the Star Tribune. . . .
The attempt to replace the city’s police department was largely influenced by the death of George Floyd, who died after former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin kneeled on his neck for about 10 minutes in May 2020. Following Floyd’s death, thousands of Americans held protests and riots, causing about $1 billion in damage, with many calling for local governments to defund their police departments.
The Minneapolis city council initially voted to dismantle its police department in June. The council also approved a measure to cut the police budget.
But violent crime has surged throughout the city over the last year, ABC affiliate KSTP-TV reported. In 2021, gun-related injuries have surged 26%, homicides have increased 16%, robberies have ticked up 5% and aggravated assaults spiked nearly 3% year-over-year. . . .

I praise You, our great God, for keeping the police department intact in Minneapolis! May You guide the reforms that need to happen. May You protect those that protect us! Bring unity there in the city, and around the country!
