By the time this was voted on, 9 or so of the council members had already stood on a stage at a protest and promised to defund the police.

There was no one in the city who had any delusion that the "research" would produce anything but the amendment to the city charter. The only real surprise was that they had done such a terrible job at writing the amendment - it was very vague and hand-wavy.

OK. And so nothing has changed. We still have the exact same public safety system we did before May, 2020. MPD still employs many Derek Chauvins. I will cheer when MPD can't meet its staffing goals because that means fewer Derek Chauvins in my city. And I will continue to vote for local politicians who will try to reduce the harm MPD can inflict on my city by reducing MPD's budget and influence. It would be great if we could have something better. I will keep striving for that, against the conservatives who want to keep Derek Chauvin on my streets.
