The lessons and warnings Minneapolis and other cities can take from Camden, N.J., which disbanded and revamped its police department in 2013.
As George Floyd’s family gathered for his funeral in Houston, where he grew up, they vowed to continue the movement sparked by his death.“I just had this feeling in my heart that I needed to do something,” she said. “I’m a mom raising Black boys. I’m a partner to my fiancé. And that could have easily been them.”
A picture of Wysocki marching between activists ricocheted around the internet, a dramatic shift from the confrontations and violence in some cities. It was also a relief for Camden, which was devastated by rioting sparked by police brutality in 1969 and 1971. “There was an overwhelming amount of apathy and lethargy,” said Thomson, who had started as a beat cop in Camden. “It was a broken organization.”
“There was bipartisan union busting,” said Eugene O’Donnell, a professor at the John Jay College of Criminal Justice in New York. Enough progress was made that President Obama touted Camden as an example of reform after protests in Ferguson, Mo., ignited a national conversation about policing in 2014, and he visited the following year.
