Minneapolis Measure to Replace Police Department Will Leave Voters Disappointed, Expert Says

According to law enforcement experts, Minneapolis citizens who are intending to extend their votes on the side of a ballot plan next week that would result in replacing the city’s police department will be disappointed if it passes.

Ballot question No. 2 will check with 2nd November voters whether they want to change the charter of the city to take over the Minneapolis Police Department with a Department of Public Safety that would be accountable for “a comprehensive public health approach to safety.”

51 Percent Vote Required for Sanctioning

It would need 51 percent of voter consent to sanction.

A spokesperson for the National Police Association, Betsy Smith, who served 29 years as a Chicago-area police officer said “Frankly, I find it disingenuous.” He added further “I think there are going to be people who are going to vote for this thinking, ‘Yay, we’re going to abolish the police and that’s not what’s happening.”

The procedure was settled on the ballot following Yes 4 Minneapolis, an alliance of businesses and organizations, which collected 22,000 signatures to do the same.

The city became the core of the police reform movement after George Floyd passed away, who died in an encounter with Minneapolis police officers last year. His death took out racial speculation upon police strategy and social inequity.

Those who are in favor of the measure have said it will not end funding or destroy the police department. Rather than, police officers won’t answer to every single call for service in such matters where mental health counselors and other professionals are required indeed, quoting police firings that have come off from mental health-related calls.

What Has Been Started by Javier Morillo on the Matter?

The matter was held on the ballot as huge numbers of citizens signified that the Minneapolis Police Department has a “fundamental flaw and cultural problem that made the city of Minneapolis the epicenter of a global reckoning on race, ” as said by the Yes 4 Minneapolis spokesman, Javier Morillo.

Morillo stated “What people tend to say, and especially voters of color, is, ‘What I want is something very simple. I want to be able to call for help when I need it, and I want to be able to not fear that help when it arrives.’

He stated the group’s ambition is “public safety that prioritizes a public health lens so that we ensure that professionals who are trained in their fields are responding to calls that are relevant to those fields.”

It was confirmed by Smith that police departments already have social workers who answer calls. She confirmed that the Minneapolis Police Department is among those most progressive in that it has invariably had many of the top training and supplies.

Furthermore, amending public safety agencies will prove to be expensive, nearly millions will be flushed, she stated. 

She stated, “To restructure a public safety organization, it will take years.” He further added “The city is still going to have to deal with the promises they made to these police officers as far as pension and insurance. Now you’re going to have to spend a lot of money on [new] training.

Just think about how much it’s going to cost to change the name of everything on patches, cars, business cards, doorways.”

“This is going to be a very expensive venture.”

MPD was also reached out. Morillo stated the amendment is required considering the city’s charter has provided the Minneapolis Police Federation, the union that depicts rank-and-file officers, strength across the city at the time of contract negotiations. 

He said, “Until we take on that power directly, the union that can keep bad cops on the street will be able to keep doing that.”

The Matter Drove Apart Minnesota Democrats With Jacob Frey, Minneapolis Mayor

The ballot matter had driven apart Minnesota Democrats with Jacob Frey, Minneapolis Mayor, who is holding for a second time, Governor Tim Walz, and U.S. Senator Amy Klobuchar in contrast. Medaria Arradondo, the Chief Minneapolis Police requested voters to refuse the proposal on Wednesday.

In a statement, he said, “To vote on a measure of reimagining of public safety without a solid plan and an implementation or direction of work, this is too critical of a time to wish and hope for that help that we need so desperately right now.”

Ilhan Omar, D-Minn, the U.S. Representative, and state Attorney General Keith Ellison have openly backed the measure. 

According to the city’s previous voting dashboard until Friday, about 21,000 Minneapolis citizens have cast votes.
