Minnesota has a Democratic governor.
Minneapolis has a Democratic mayor.
The Minneapolis City Council is 12-1 Democratic. The 1 is a Green.
Voting alone does not fix this if elected officials remain deferential to the cops.
If you woke up today angry, confused or frustrated about the direction our country is heading, I have one word for you: vote.

Settlements for cases where police torture should come out of the police budget. Sell off the toys. Shrink the forces.
Taking it out of the general fund is a way that police doubly victimize the public.
