House and Senate Democrats introduced police and justice reform legislation that includes requiring body and dashboard cameras, and banning no-knock warrants in drug cases
Minneapolis official explains why city council members want to defund and dismantle the police departmentGeorge Floyd’s death was a wake up call as people got to see what many already knew, “which is that our police department is not keeping every member of our community safe,” said Minneapolis City Council President Lisa Bender.the city's police department, she says, adding that it will take a long time to get there.
“I know the statement was bold and I stand by that bold statement, but the work ahead of us will be long,” she said. She outlined various issues like stable housing and access to health care that come under the scope of safety. The community, she said, wants more investment in these areas instead of putting more money toward militarizing the police force.
Bender also addressed the concerns some people have with the dismantling of the police, saying they’re not starting from scratch. “We have invested in community-based safety strategies,” she said. ”We've done an analysis of all the reasons people call 911, and have looked up ways we can shift the response away from our armed police officers into a more appropriate response for mental health calls, for some domestic violence calls, for health-related issues. And so the groundwork is laid already in Minneapolis for us to build on that.
