Minneapolis voters to decide fate of MPD
A ballot question about whether to replace the Minneapolis Police Department cleared its final hurdle Friday and will appear on November's ballot. The citizen-driven ballot measure would create a new department of public safety and give the city council more oversight. Opponents say it would complicate decision-making and slow the pace of police reform. This is the afternoon MPR News update for Friday, July 23, 2021. Hosted by Nina Moini. Theme music by Gary Meister.
