Voters in Minneapolis, Minnesota, where resident George Floyd died after a police officer knelt on his neck for more than nine minutes last year, are set to vote on whether to replace the city’s police department.
Tuesday’s extraordinary ballot question – dubbed “City Question Two” – will give voters the option to amend the city charter by removing language that mandates that Minneapolis have a police department with a minimum number of officers based on population.
Established in its place would be a new Department of Public Safety that, according to the proposed amendment, would take a “comprehensive public health approach to the delivery of functions” that “could include” police officers “if necessary, to fulfill its responsibilities for public safety”.
